How do dominant and recessive alleles affect an offsprings phenotype?
The traits inherited depends upon the alleles that have been passed on from the father and mother.The traits that are exhibited is called as the phenotype. Dominant allele needs only one copy to be expressed.For example in a pea plant "T" represents the tall dominant allele and "t" the short recessive allele .TT - when there are two dominant alleles the pea plant will express the tall trait. The pea plant is tall.Tt - when there is one dominant and one recessive allele the pea plant will still express the tall trait.In this case the dominant allele masks the recessive allele and the pea plant is still tall.tt - when there are two recessive alleles the pea plant will express the recessive trait and the pea plant is short.For a recessive trait to show up there should be a pair of recessive alleles.
Is waardenburg syndrome caused by a dominant or recessive allele?
Autosomal dominant allele
Is it true that a defective allele always recessive and a normal allele always dominant?
No. The gene that causes Huntington's is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, and one form of inherited Parkinson's is also caused by an autosomal dominant mutation.

What are autosomal dominant inherited disorders?
An autosomal disorder is one which is caused by a gene or genes on an autosome - a non-sex chromosome. Dominant means that if one allele for the disorder is present, then the person will have the disorder. For example, if H is the allele for Huntington's disease and a person has Hh - they will have the disease. Examples of autosomal dominant disorders are; Huntington's disease, Romano-Ward syndrome, Timothy syndrome and Jackson-Weiss syndrome.

Is the allele causing huntington's disease dominant or recessive?
Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant allele
What is the nervous system that breakdown that is caused by an autosomal recessive allele?
achondroplasia
How come there are no carriers in genetic diseases caused by dominant alleles?
If carried on a dominant allele, you either inherit it- and have the disease- or you don't- and do not have the disease, nor the gene that causes it. If you don't have the gene, you can not pass it to your offspring.
Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. One copy of the mutation will cause the condition.
Autosomal dominant genetic disorder?
An autosomal genetic disorder is Huntington's disease.
What disease is caused by a dominant allele of a single gene?
Huntington's Disease
