Is achondroplasia nondisjunction?
No, achondroplasia is not caused by nondisjunction. Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder caused by a spontaneous mutation in a gene involved in bone growth. Nondisjunction is a genetic event that occurs during cell division and can lead to abnormal chromosome numbers in offspring.
Cells grow and divide at an abnormally high rate in?
Cells grow and divide at an abnormally high rate in cancer. This uncontrolled growth leads to the formation of tumors.
Is progeria non disjunction?
No, progeria is not caused by non disjunction. Progeria is a rare genetic disorder where a mutation occurs in the LMNA gene, leading to premature aging in children. Non disjunction is a different type of genetic error where chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell division.
Who carries the Turners Syndrome Does it come from the female or male?
Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects females only. It is caused by the absence of all or part of one of the X chromosomes. This condition is not passed down through family genetics, but occurs randomly.
Does crossing over produces chromosomes that carry genetic information from both homologous chromosomes?
The question is not proper. Please define more. I assume you meant whether the genetic information is transferred between homologous chromosomes. Yeah it does. When the two homologous chromosomes pair up to form bivalents, crossing over occurs between them.
Where does homolophia occurs more often?
genetic disorder
What genetic disorder occurs primarily in African Americans?
Sickle Cell Anemia
What occurs when the sun and moon pull on earth at right angles to each other?
The main effect is on the tides, when the sun and moon are at right angles it produces neap tides. When in line it produces spring tides. Spring tides are abnormally high, neap tide are abnormally low
Which genetic disorder occurs primarily in African Americans?
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder that primarily occurs in African Americans. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that makes hemoglobin, resulting in abnormal red blood cells that can cause blockages in blood vessels and organ damage.
Which hemophilia disorder is genetic?
i believe all types of haemophilia are genetic although i am not sure. but i do know that CLASSIC HAEMOPHILIA is a genetic disorder Haemophilia A and B are both genetic. Haemophilia A (which is the most common) occurs when your blood lacks a clotting agent called factor 8. Haemophilia B occurs when you lack factor 9 in your blood. There is also acquired Haemophilia, this occurs when the immune system starts attacking clotting agents within the blood, this usually occurs in elderly people. Both forms of genetic haemophilia mostly occur in males, it rarely occurs in females. Unfortunately there is no cure but it is quite easily controlled with injections of the missing clotting agent.
How common is marfan syndrome?
Marfan's syndrome is the most common genetic disorder of connective tissue. It occurs in about every 10,000 to 20,000 individuals.
What is An example of a genetic disorder that is both genetic and congenital?
An example of a genetic disorder that is both genetic and congenital is Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21. It is caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, which occurs at conception. This condition is present at birth and is associated with various physical and developmental challenges. Other examples include cystic fibrosis and sickle cell disease, which also arise from genetic mutations and manifest at birth.
Why would a person who receives genetic therapy for a disorder still be able to pass on the disorder to his or her children?
No, because this genetic disorder occurs because the parents are heterozygous, they don't show any symptoms. However, if each pqarent passes the recessive allele to the child, the child inherits both recessive alleles and will have a recssive genetic disorder, so it doesnt matter if you have a gene transfer because, the new gene is not yours, so you children may have it. xoxo
Is achondroplasia nondisjunction?
No, achondroplasia is not caused by nondisjunction. Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder caused by a spontaneous mutation in a gene involved in bone growth. Nondisjunction is a genetic event that occurs during cell division and can lead to abnormal chromosome numbers in offspring.
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome in the body cells of humans this extra chromosome occurs in the gamete as a result of?
an error in meiotic cell division
Is cleft lip and palate an autosomal or sex linked disorder?
Cleft lip and palate is not a sex-linked disorder. It is a common birth defect that occurs due to both genetic and environmental factors, with a multifactorial inheritance pattern involving multiple genes as well as environmental influences.
What is a fatal genetic disorder in which metabolic wastes build up in the body?
A fatal genetic disorder in which metabolic wastes build up in the body is known as a lysosomal storage disorder. This group of disorders occurs when there is a deficiency of enzymes needed to break down various substances in cells, leading to the accumulation of these substances in the body, causing damage to tissues and organs. Examples include Tay-Sachs disease and Gaucher disease.
