What makes researchers believe that leprosy susceptibility could be linked to Parkinson's disease?
Further study indicated that the leprosy susceptibility gene lies within a region shared by two genes for Parkinson's disease.
What chromosome is the gene of bipolar on?
bipolar susceptibility can be linked to small mutations in chromosomes 4,13,15,18, and 22.
Why do more males end up with sex-linked disorders?
More males than females end up with sex-linked disorders because of the y chromosome. It is shorter than the x-chromosome, and increases susceptibility to these problems.
Is a fish and milk diet linked with leprosy?
No
Are linked genes on the same chromosome?
Yes, linked genes are located on the same chromosome.
Why are sex linked conditions more common in men than in women?
Sex-linked conditions, particularly those linked to the X chromosome, are more common in men because they have only one X chromosome (XY), while women have two (XX). If a man inherits a recessive allele for a condition on his single X chromosome, he will express that condition. In contrast, a woman would need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele (one from each X chromosome) to express the condition, making it less likely for women to be affected. Thus, the single X chromosome in men increases their susceptibility to X-linked disorders.
Genes that tend to be inherited together are said to be?
Linked On A Chromosome
What is the link between sex-linked disorders and sex chromosome disorders?
sex-linked is normally involving X chromosome sex chromosome normally involving Y chromosome
Are all sex-linked traits located on the X chromosome?
No, not all sex-linked traits are located on the X chromosome. Some sex-linked traits can also be located on the Y chromosome.
Are linked genes genes located on the same chromosome?
Yes, linked genes are genes located on the same chromosome.
What are sex-linked disorders?
Disabilities or disorders that are linked to reproduction or sex For more info GOOGLE IT!
If a characteristic is sex-linked then where is the gene for it found?
Genes for sex-linked traits can be found on the sex chromosomes - X and Y. Almost all sex-linked traits are determined by the X chromosome, because it is much larger than the Y chromosome and can thus carry more genes. A few sex-linked traits are known on the Y chromosome, including - believe it or not - hairy ears.
