What kind of diseases are the most common genetic diseases For example those in which both parents may be carriers of the disease without knowing it because they don't actually have the disease

autosomal recessive

What common condition is caused by the presence of three copies of chromosome 21

down syndrome

What is expressed when both alleles for a gene are equally expressed as in human blood type

This is called co-dominance. This is when 2 or more alleles are expressed at the same time. In other words they both affect the phenotype. In the example of human blood ABO type we have an allele for A = IA, B= Ib O=i

IAIb = AB blood type

IbIb = B blood type

Iai = A

IaIa = A bloody type

Ibi = B blood type

ii = O blood type

What term describes the structure of a cell plasma membrane because of its oily nature and embedded proteins

fluid mosaic

A strawberry blonde has pale red hair. What is a strawberry roan

Reddish-white horse

What kind of cross predicts the inheritance of two characteristics

dihybrid cross

What is an example of a disorder associated with an error in the number of chromosomes present

Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is a disorder associated with an error in the number of chromosomes present. Other examples of disorders associated with an error in the number of chromosomes are Trisomy 18 (Edwards Syndrome), Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome), Triple X syndrome, and Klinefelter Syndrome.

Why cant patterns of inheritance in humans be as easily studied as in peas or fruit flies

Humans produce few offspring slowly

In fruit flies gray body color is dominant over black body color Suppose that a gray fruit fly heterozygous for the alleles for body color is crossed with one that has a black body What percentage

50%

What is the most common fatal genetic disease in the United states

Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive disorder Mary does not have the disease but both of her brothers do Neither of her parents have the disease What are Marys parents genotypes indicates pr

Mary's father is normal and has a normal genotype X*Y while her mother is the carrier of hemophilia and has one X of her genotype infected i.e. she is X*X.

What causes disorders such as klinefelter syndrome and turner syndrome

non disjunction of sex chromosomes

What is the chart for ancestry and traits used as a tool to study human patterns of inheritance called

A pedigree chart is used to study human patterns of inheritance.

A child is born with type ab blood. which of these statements is true

A+ Neither parent can have type O blood

Sex-linked recessive disorders are most often passed from mothers to sons.
