What term describes the inheritance if cystic fibrosis?
The term that best describes the inheritance of cystic fibrosis is that it is genetic. Cystic fibrosis is caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
What term describes the inheritence cystic fibrosis?
The term that best describes the inheritance of cystic fibrosis is that it is genetic. Cystic fibrosis is caused by recessive alleles. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
How disorder is inherited cystic fibrosis?
Cystic Fibrosis, is a recessive disease (meaning that both parents must be carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene, for the offspring to have a chance of being born with it). A child has a 25% chance (1/4) of being born with Cystic Fibrosis.
Is cystic fibrosis caused by a dominent or recessive gene?
It is caused by a recessive allele. Believe me my teacher told me.
Which of these is an autosomal recessive disorder?
Cystic fibrosis is an example of an autosomal recessive disorder. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene located on chromosome 7. Both parents must pass on a copy of the mutated gene for a child to be affected by cystic fibrosis.
Is cystics fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant alle of a gene?
No, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder.
Being a carrier of sickle cell anemia means?
sickle cell anemia is caused by a recessive allele. so for it to affect someone, it means that the person must have received both recessive alleles from their parents. Being a carrier means that you have the recessive allele from one of your parents, but you have a normal dominant allele from the other parent, that means you are not affected by it but you are carrying it.
Is tay-sachs caused by codominant alleles?
No, autosomal recessive
Cystic fibrosis is it monosomy 21?
No. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations found on chromosome 7.
It is far more common to find human genetic disease caused by alleles than by alleles because?
You are repeating yourself. If a dominant gene inhibits reproduction, it will eventually work itself out of the population. Whereas a recessive gene can sporadically pop up. However, a gene such as a "cancer gene" might not inhibit reproduction, and thus could perpetuate at a higher rate in either a dominant or recessive form. There is a theory called "Heterozygote Advantage" that certain genetic disorders such as Cystic Fibrosis or Sickle Cell Anemia may actually provide a protective advantage when found as a heterozygote recessive, but is deadly when the person inherits both genes.
Cystic fibrosis is an example of?
Cystic fibrosis is an example of an autosomal recessive genetic disease. It is caused by the mutation in the cystic fibrosis trans membrane regulator (CFTR) gene. This gene codes for a chloride ion channel important in creating digestive juices, mucus and sweat. A single mutated copy of the CFTR gene does not lead to disease. There have to be mutations in both alleles in order for the disease to manifest. Therefore, it is labeled as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder.
A disease caused by mutated recessive genes that can be passed along for generations with no expression is?
cystic fibrosis
