Why are most genetic defects related to enzyme function recessive disorders?
Most genetic defects related to enzyme function are recessive because most are lethal and can only persist because heterozygote carriers can live to reproduce.
A genetic pedigree showing that only males are affected by a certain disorder is evidence of what type of inheritance?
Sex-linked.
Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
Which Gender is much more prominent in the Human Genetic Disorder Phenylketonuria Male or Female?
From looking at my family tree i've found males tend to have the disorder while females tend to be carriers (only recieving one of the two necessary genes). It may or may not be a scientific fact, but it's what it looks to be to me.
What is the name for a transmissible agent that contains only proteins and has no genetic material?
Prion.
Can genetic diseases or disorders be diagnosed using small blood and saliva samples?
Yes, genetic diseases or disorders can be diagnosed using small blood and saliva samples. Genetic testing can analyze DNA from these samples to detect mutations associated with certain conditions. This can provide valuable information about an individual's genetic predisposition to certain diseases.
Can you get a genetic disorder from catching a cold from an infected person?
No. Genetic disorders are rooted in the DNA of the body and can only be transmitted through heredity.
Explain why genetic disorders always inherited?
Genetic disorders are caused by mutations in genes, which can be inherited from one or both parents. These mutations can be dominant, requiring only one copy to manifest the disorder, or recessive, requiring two copies. While some genetic disorders can arise from new mutations (de novo mutations), the majority are passed down through generations, making inheritance a key factor in their occurrence. Thus, the genetic basis of these disorders ensures that they can be transmitted within families.
What is a disadvantage to be a male when it comes to sex-linked genetic disorders?
Because male have only one X chromosome.Y is not completely homologus to X.So disorders in X affects mainly to male.
Why are males often affected more than females by sex-linked genetic disorders?
males have only one X chromosomes
How do you make certain gender babies in sims 2 double deluxe?
You can't pick the gender, what you get is completely random and can only be decided by the game.
Does the pencil test really work when it comes to determining the gender of your baby?
No. The only things that work are sonograms and genetic testing.
Why can females but not males be carriers of sex linked genetic disorders?
Females have two X chromosomes, allowing them to be carriers of sex-linked genetic disorders on one X chromosome while having a normal allele on the other X chromosome. Males have only one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, so any genetic disorder on their single X chromosome will manifest as the disorder rather than being masked.
Is it bad to genderize Pokemon meaning soft resetting until you get a certain gender?
You can do whatever you want. If you mean that it's pointless, yes. The only time i would ever do that is if i needed a certain gender to breed.
Can you tell the sex of your baby by what moods your in?
No. An ultrasound is the only way to know for certain what your baby's gender is.
What is the process of gender selection in newborn babies?
The only truly reliable way to do gender selection is via a combination of In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD/PGS). It has now became more affordable, and much safer for the mother, through the use of Natural Cycle IVF and EGS X/Y screening.
Can turtles stay small forever?
Yes, but only if they have genetic disorders. All the species found so far grow in size over time.
