Why are individuals with genotype AA prone to malaria?
They do not carry the sickle cell allele, a. Individuals that are heterozygous have the advantage of being more resistant to malaria than homozygous dominant individuals, but are not affected by the disease.
Is huntington disease homozygous or heterozygous?
Huntington disease is autosomal dominant, meaning that individuals who inherit one copy of the mutant allele from either parent will develop the disease. Thus, individuals with Huntington's disease are heterozygous for the mutant allele. Homozygous individuals would not survive past a certain age due to the severity of the disorder.
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 disease are you immune to if you are heterozygous for sickle cell disease?
malaria
If you have heterozygous what are the signs?
"Heterozygous" is not a disease. It is a term to describe the presence of two alternate alleles in a gene sequence.
What are the symptoms of heterozygous?
There are not symptoms of heterozygous since it is not a disease or condition that you can get. It is a genetics term that refers to whether a gene is dominant or non dominate.
What are the odds that Arlo will develop huntington's disease as his father Woody did when mother was disease free and father was heterozygous?
50%
How prevalent is the disease sickle cell in the population?
its a very rare disease because you have to be heterozygous to have it! I KNOW I'M CLEVER
What are the chances of getting Huntington's if one of your parents are heterozygous?
If one of your parents is heterozygous for Huntington's disease, you have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated gene responsible for the condition. This is because Huntington's is an autosomal dominant disorder, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to develop the disease. If you inherit the normal allele from the heterozygous parent, you won't develop the disease.
What genetic disorder can be beneficial in its heterozygous form?
Sickle Cell Anemia, in it's heterozygous form it does not present as the disease and it gives the carrier resistance to malaria.
Are people with sickle cell anemia resistant to malaria?
No they are generally resistant to malaria
What is the most disease resistant tomato?
Something that grows fast and prolific and lasts a long time into cold wet weather. Mostly hybrids that have disease resistant parents.
