Sickle Cell Anemia, in it's heterozygous form it does not present as the disease and it gives the carrier resistance to malaria.
What else can I help you with?
Which one is not a genetic disorder color blindness hemophilia cystic fibrosis down syndrome?
Down syndrome is a polyploidy (three chromosome 21s)and is considered to be a somatic disorder. The other three are genetic because they are present in the form of a defective allele on achromosome.
What is genetic material package in?
An organism's genetic material is packaged in its chromosomes. The genetic material can be in the form of either DNA or RNA.
What are the Genetic codes contain?
The genetic code is carried in the DNA on the chromosomes.
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.
Why are pedigree helpful in determining genetic disorders?
The genetic counselor can use a pedigree to see which previous generations had inherited disorders or were carriers of inherited disorders. This can be used to determine whether the parent is a carrier of an inherited disorder or completely free of it, (unless the parent clearly has the disorder), which can be used to determine the chance of the inherited disorder being passed onto the children.
The genetic disorder sickle cell disease is an example of heterozygous dominance?
Sickle cell disease is an example of codominance, not heterozygous dominance. In individuals who are heterozygous for the sickle cell allele, they exhibit a milder form of the disease called sickle cell trait, which demonstrates codominance of the normal and mutant hemoglobin alleles.
What type is the genetic disorder of the diabetes?
Type I diabetes mellitus is the genetic form of the disease.
What is an achondroplasic?
An achondroplasic is a person who has achondroplasia, a genetic disorder which is the most common form of short limb dwarfism.
Where both alleles appear in the heterozygous form is known as?
The heterozygous genotype
Which one is not a genetic disorder color blindness hemophilia cystic fibrosis down syndrome?
Down syndrome is a polyploidy (three chromosome 21s)and is considered to be a somatic disorder. The other three are genetic because they are present in the form of a defective allele on achromosome.
Is hemophilia a genetic disorder in which an abnormal form of hemoglobin is produced?
Hemophilia is not related to hemoglobin. It is a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot due to a deficiency in clotting factors. Hemoglobinopathies, on the other hand, are disorders related to the structure and production of hemoglobin.
Heamophilia is an example of what?
Hemophilia is an example of a genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to form blood clots, leading to excessive bleeding and bruising. It is caused by a deficiency in clotting factors, most commonly factor VIII or IX.
Which form of anemia is a genetic disorder?
It sounds like you are looking for Sickle Cell Anemia.
What genetic base can microcephaly have?
If the gene defect(s) are expressed during fetal development, the condition is present at birth. This is the congenital form of the disorder
A change in a population gene pool due to a chance event?
The sudden change in the genetic make up or genetic form of an individual is called gene mutation.
The dominant or recessive form that a gene takes is?
determined by its specific genetic instructions. Genes can be dominant (expressed when present) or recessive (expressed only when two copies are present) based on the interaction of alleles at a specific locus on a chromosome. The dominant form masks the recessive form in heterozygous individuals.
What organisms is heterzygous?
A heterozygous organism has two different alleles for a given gene. The opposite of a heterozygous organism is a homozygous organism which has two alleles that are the same for that specific gene. Genes can exist in more than one form and the different forms are called alleles. Alleles code for different types of the same characteristic
