Yes, it can. This new chromosome, which is mostly chromosome 22 with a piece of chromosome 9 stuck to it. It is called the Philadelphia chromosome and can cause chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) as well as some cases of acute lymphocytic and myelogenous leukemia (ALL and AML).

What genetic disease was in Queen Victoria's family?

There are two genetic diseases that were (and are) in Queen Victoria's family. The first one was porphryia which is an autoimmune disease, which was passed on through the Hanoverian line historians believe thanks to Margaret Tudor (the daughter of Henry VIII) The other genetic disease that was in Queen Victoria's family was hemophilia which prevents blood from clotting. It is known that Queen Victoria was a carrier of hemophilia and passed it on to three of her children and at least 6 of her grandchildren and many grandchildren, but it is impossible that she could have carried the gene for both Hemophilia and porphryia (the chance of it happening is the same as the population of the world when she was born.)


Why is it difficult to cure a human genetic disorder?

It would require changing a person's genes. We can't do that. Yet. Until we do, the genes that gave you the disease will get passed to your children, and THEIR children, etc.

Summarize how genetic disorder can result from mutation?

A genetic disorder can result from a mutation by changing a gene's instructions for making a protein. If there is a mutation in one of these genes, this can be passed on from parent to offspring.


When a reference variable is passed to any function than whether it pass address or a copy of a variable?

You cannot arbitrarily determine what is passed to a function from outside of the function. If the function expects a reference, then the memory address of the variable will be automatically passed to the function. If the function expects a value, then a copy of the variable's value is automatically passed instead. In other words, it is the function signature that determines what is passed, not how you call the function.

How do you know whether the chromosome passed from father is Y or X?

The sex of an individual is determined by the combination of sex chromosomes received from their parents. Typically, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). To determine whether the chromosome passed from the father is Y or X, the presence of a Y chromosome can be identified through genetic tests, such as a karyotype analysis or DNA sequencing.


Y linked genes are passed only from who?

Y-linked genes are only passed from father to son because the Y chromosome is inherited exclusively in a paternal manner. Since females inherit an X chromosome from each parent, they do not receive a Y chromosome from their father.

Why can a man who has sex-linked disorder pass the disorder to his daughter but not to his sons?

Sex-linked disorders are passed on the X chromosome. The man supplies the Y chromosome to his sons so the disorder cannot be passed on to the sons. But the man gives his daughter an X chromosome so the disorder can be passed on to her.


What are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome?

They are sex-linked genes.


If a trait is always transmitted directly from a father to all his sons and from those sons to all their son what chromosome would the gene for the character be likely on?

The gene for this trait is likely located on the Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, and since only males have a Y chromosome, the trait will only be passed down through male lineage.
