If human genetic defect that results in the failure to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine is?
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder that causes a person to be unable to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine. This leads to a buildup of phenylalanine in the body, which can be harmful to the brain and nervous system if not managed properly. Individuals with PKU require a strict low-phenylalanine diet to prevent complications.
Eye defect that causes color-deficient vision?
Color-deficient vision, commonly known as color blindness, is most often caused by a genetic defect in the cone cells of the retina in the eye. This defect affects the ability to perceive certain colors or shades. The most common form of color blindness is red-green color deficiency.
Would having less melinin be considered a genetic defect?
It depends on the context. If melanin was essential to good health, and a lack of it produces serious health problems then it could be considered a defect (assuming the lack of melanin was due to genetics). Having a total lack of it when the vast majority of creatures have it would certainly qualify as an unusual condition but just having less of it than others is a little too vague to be considered a defect without understanding the context. Like any 'trait' less of something may be beneficial in some environments but more of it may be beneficial in others. ----------------------------------- Albinism (complete or partial loss of melanin) is genetic.
What use of viruses to help people with genetic disorders?
Viruses can be used as vectors to deliver therapeutic genes into cells affected by genetic disorders. This is done through a process called gene therapy, where the virus is modified to carry the correct version of the faulty gene and help correct the genetic defect. By doing so, viruses can potentially treat genetic disorders by replacing or repairing the defective gene responsible for the disorder.
What is adrenoleukodystrophy?
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and adrenal glands. It is characterized by the buildup of fatty acids in the body due to a defect in a specific enzyme that breaks them down. ALD can lead to damage to the myelin sheath, which is the protective covering of nerve cells, resulting in progressive neurological problems.
What is the most common procedure to repair a central defect?
Anterior colporrhaphy is the most common procedure to repair a central defect
What type of genetic disorder is Spina Bifida?
it is a type of neural tube defect or known as a birth defect
Why would sterility be a good thing for organisms with a genetic defect?
Sterility means that they cannot reproduce, which would prevent the genetic defect from being passed on to future generations.
Do dogs with two heads exist?
sometimes they can, by genetic defect.
A disorder caused partly or completely by a defect in genes?
There are dozens of diseases caused by a genetic defect. They are known as genetic diseases. Sickle Cell anemia, Hemophilia, Tay-Sachs, Huntingtons Disease- and many others are genetic diseases.
Why do some people have more than ten fingers?
A genetic defect.
Why a baby born with one testicle?
Birth defect? Genetic mutation?
What genetic defects it the Sphynx cat breed prone to?
One genetic defect the Sphynx is prone to is skin diseases.
Are genetic defect associated with abnormalities of autosomes or of sex chromosomes?
Genetic defects can be associated with autosome and chromosome abnormalities.
Is hemophilia a defect?
Hemophilia is a genetic mutation of the sex-linked X chromosome.
How do you get Apert syndrome?
Apert syndrome is a genetic defect, so that means that the child will have it from conception (it's an autosomal dominant genetic defect, which means that only one parent needs to supply the defective gene in order for the child to be born with it.)
What type of defect is produced when AgCl is doped with CdCl2?
When AgCl is doped with CdCl2, a Schottky defect is produced. This occurs when an equal number of cations and anions are missing from their lattice sites, leading to the formation of vacancies in the crystal structure.
