What is the Frequency of carriers in the population of scoliosis?
game and food problem are Main cause of scoliosis so this carriers' are so bright
What is frequency of albinism?
1 in 20,000 people
Are there carriers for albinism?
Yes. If either parent is a carrier of the gene that causes albinism then their child becomes a carrier as well. It is only when both parents have the gene for albinism that the child is born with this disorder.
Is albinism heterozygous or homozygous?
genetically albinism is an autosomal recessive gene which in fact gives the child a 25% chance of inheriting the gene if both parents are carriers
Albinism or the lack of color is a recessive trait that is present in some plants Cross two carriers for albinism If 500 plants resulted from the cross what percent of offspring would be expected?
25%
How prevalent is albinism in the population?
man get out of here!!!!!!!
How many people are born with albinism each year?
1 in 17,000, or 0.0059% 1 in 70, or 1.4% are carriers. The estimated 2007 population of the US is 302,854,000
What are the chances of albinism in monozygotic twins?
same as rest of population
Can two parents with albinism have an unaffected child?
Yes, Albinism is a recessive trait. You may be carriers of it but it doesn't necessarily mean that your child will have it. Your parents could have been carriers of it but not had it. The albinism just happened to be mixes into your genes.
What is the frequency of female carriers of duchenne muscular dystrophy in the worldwide population?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) primarily affects males, but female carriers can have a frequency of about 1 in 3,500 to 1 in 5,000 women, depending on the population studied. Carrier females typically have one normal dystrophin gene and one mutated gene, which may result in mild symptoms or none at all. Overall, the estimated prevalence of female carriers worldwide is approximately 1 in 50 to 1 in 100 women.
Can you speard albimism by toucking someone if you have it?
No.Most forms of albinism are the result of the biological inheritance of genetically recessive alleles (genes) passed from both parents of an individual, though some rare forms are inherited from only one parent. There are other genetic mutations which are proven to be associated with albinism. All alterations, however, lead to changes in melanin production in the body.The chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of an organism with albinism and one without albinism is low. However, because organisms can be carriers of genes for albinism without exhibiting any traits, albinistic offspring can be produced by two non-albinistic parents. Albinism usually occurs with equal frequency in both genders. An exception to this is ocular albinism, which it is passed on to offspring through X-linked inheritance. Thus, ocular albinism occurs more frequently in males as they have a single X and Y chromosome, unlike females, whose genetics are characterized by two X chromosomes.There are two different forms of albinism; a partial lack of the melanin is known as hypomelanism, or hypomelanosis and the total absence of melanin is known as amelanism or amelanosis.(Source wikipedia)
Does albinism occur in a family tree?
Yes, albinism can occur in a family tree, as it is often inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. This means that both parents must carry a copy of the mutated gene for a child to be affected by the condition. If both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that their child will have albinism. However, albinism can also arise from new mutations, so it may appear in families without a prior history of the condition.
