Hurlington disease is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects the nervous system if a man is heterozygous for the alleles that cause the condition and has children with a woman who lacks then?
If a man who is heterozygous for the Hurlington disease alleles has children with a woman who does not have the alleles, there is a 50% chance that each of their children will inherit the disease allele. Since Hurlington disease is autosomal dominant, inheriting just one copy of the disease allele will result in the individual being affected by the disorder.
A recessive allele t is responsible for a condition called distonia a man who has this condition marries a woman who doesnt one of their four children has the conditon what are the pssible genotypes?
Firstly, if the condition is recessive, both the man and the child with the condition must have the genotype tt. The mother must have the genotype Tt. This is because if she had TT, all of the children would be Tt and not have the condition. If she were tt, she would have the condition as well. Therefore if the father has tt and the mother has Tt, the other 3 children who do not have the condition must all have the genotype Tt. So: Mother - Tt Father - tt Affected child - tt Other children - Tt
If a man is heterozygous for the alleles that cause the condition and has children with a woman who lacks that defective allele?
If a man is heterozygous for the alleles that cause the condition and has children with a woman who lacks that defective allele, there is a 50% chance that each of their children will inherit the defective allele. This is because the man can pass on either the normal or defective allele, resulting in a 50% chance of passing on the defective allele.
What is automasal trait?
With an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, a person needs to have 2 copies of a gene change to have the condition. In most cases, people with an autosomal recessive condition get one gene change from the mother and one gene change from the father.The parents of a person with an autosomal recessive condition may not have the condition themselves, since each parent only needs to have one copy of the gene change. People with one copy of the gene change are called carriers, who do not have the condition, but are more likely to have children with the condition. Other family members (uncles, aunts, brothers, cousins, etc) may also be carriers.
Did woody guthrie's children get Huntingtons?
Yes. At least two possibly three. Two from his first wife.
What is the probability that the children will be heterozygous?
Being born with six fingers is actually a dominant trait and the probability of the children would be 75% with six fingers and 25% with five fingers if both parents were heterozygous for that trait. If both parents were homozygous dominant for that trait then there is a 100% probability of the children being born with six fingers.
If children with blood group O and a what could be the blood group of parents?
both parents could be A heterozygous or one A heterozygous and the other O
Will parents with a positive blood type have children with a positive blood type?
There is 50% that children will be of negative blood type if parents are heterozygous positive. 25% if one parent is homozygous and other heterozygous. 0% if both homozygous.
What is a probability of 2 Rh plus heterozygous have 4 Rh- children?
1/8 or 12.5%
Does hemochromatosis skip generation?
Short answer: yes Hereditary haemachromatosis is autosomal recessive, meaning you have to have 2 copies of the faulty gene to have the condition. Therefor, someone with hereditary haemachromatosis would have to have children either with someone who is a carrier (1 copy of the gene) or someone with haemachromatosis to have offspring with the condition. It can 'skip' generations by 2 carriers (1 copy of the gene) having children and having an affected offspring, but the chance of that happening is 1/4.
Is huntington disease a autosomal dominant disorder?
Yes, Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene on chromosome 4. An affected individual has a 50% chance of passing on the mutated gene to each of their children.
If the father has type A blood and mother type O and they have childred with type A are they Diploid haploid Heterozygous or Homozygous?
all type A children born in this condition are A heterozygous . there is two possibilities with the father genes but both give us the same result, since we don't know the father blood type is hetero or homo : if Father is Hetero : 1- Father(IAi --> A) and Mother(ii --> O), the Children are 50% of the kids will be O 50% of the kids will be A ( hetero) if Father is Homo : 2- Father(IAIA --> A) and Mother(ii --> O), the Children are 100% of the kids will be A ( hetero) so in both cases weither the father is homo or hetero, children will be hetero, because of the mother blood type.
