Is alkaptonuria caused by a recessive or dominant allele?
Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. The enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is necessary to metabolize phenylalanie, but when this enzyme doesnt work, phenylaline accumulates and is detected in the urine. The disease is detected during pregnancy, and if treated right away the newborn can develop normally. However, if left untreated, the brain will not develop properly.
Is progeria a recessive or dominant disorder?
yes it is, only 1 mutation to the lmna gene is sufficent for someone to express traits regarding progeria
Many inherited disorders of humans appear in children of parents who do not have the disorder how can you explain that the parents do not have the disorder but the child does?
The disorder is controlled by a recessive factor.
How is hemochromatosis inherited?
Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disorder, which means an individual has the possibility of developing iron overload only if he/she inherits abnormal genes from both parents. HOPE THAT HELPS :) I know because I'm doing a science project on it.

Is Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome inherited?
Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder, which means that parents of affected individuals are themselves unaffected carriers, and that they have a 25% risk of having an affected child.

What type of genetic disorder is PKU?
PKU is described as an inherited, autosomal recessive disorder.
Is cystic fibrosis a dominant or co-dominant disorder?
It is autosomal recessive and it is not a disorder! Cystic Fibrosis is a disease.
How are autosomal disorders passed down?
the disorder is usually either autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant. they are passed down from the parents to the next generation. autosomal reccessive diseases only are when one parent gives one reccessive allele and the other parent gives the other reccessive allele. A dominant autosomal disorder can be inherited with one or two of the alleles.
Is marfan syndrome dominant or recessive?

How is usher syndrome inherited?
Usher syndrome is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The term autosomal means that the mutated gene is not located on either of the chromosomes that determine a person's sex; in other words, both males and females can have the disorder and can pass along the disorder to a child. The word recessive means that to have Usher syndrome, an individual must receive a mutated form of the Usher syndrome gene from each parent. If a child has a mutation in one Usher syndrome gene but the other gene is normal, he or she is predicted to have normal vision and hearing. Individuals with a mutation in a gene that can cause an autosomal recessive disorder are called carriers, because they "carry" the gene with a mutation but show no symptoms of the disorder. If both parents are carriers of a mutated gene for Usher syndrome, they will have a one-in-four chance of having a child with Usher syndrome with each birth.
