Compare the inheritance of Huntingtons disease with the inheritance of sickle cell anemia?
Huntingtons disease is Autosomal dominant, i.e. a 50% chance of inheritance if one parent has the gene. Where as sickle cell anemia is autosomal recessive. This gives a 25% chance of inheritance if both parents are carriers.

What is caused by a dominant allele that expresses itself late in a persons life?
Huntingtons Disease
What is an individual who has a recessive disease causing allele?
An individual with a recessive disease-causing allele carries one or two copies of the allele for the disease but may not exhibit symptoms if they have a dominant normal allele. If they have two recessive alleles, they will typically express the disease. Carriers, who possess one recessive allele and one normal allele, can pass the allele to their offspring, potentially leading to the disease in subsequent generations if both parents are carriers.
Is canavan disease dominant or recessive?
its ressesive
What is a person who has a dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene?
A person who has one dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene is typically considered to be affected by the condition if the disease is caused by the dominant allele. In this case, the dominant allele's effects will manifest, overshadowing the recessive allele. The individual may not express traits associated with the recessive allele, as the dominant trait takes precedence.
Is huntingtons disease a autosomal ressesive trait?
Huntington's Disease is an Autosomal Dominant Trait, meaning that only one parent needs to pass the disease for the offspring to inherit it.
