Is sickle cell anemia considered a codominant trait in genetic inheritance?
Yes, sickle cell anemia is considered a codominant trait in genetic inheritance.
What ethnic group is greatly affected by sicklecell?
African American and Hispanic are greatly affect by sicklecell.
What is the inheritance of the sickle cell anemia?
autosomal recessive
Can you go into the Navy with sicklecell?
No
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.
Sickle cell anemia is an example of what type of inheritance?
polygenic inheritance . doug says " squirrel". hes a fat dog.
How does the mode of inheritance affect the prediction and analysis of inheritance patterns?
The mode of inheritance (e.g., autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive) determines the likelihood of passing on a genetic trait to offspring and influences the probability of inheritance in a family. Understanding the mode of inheritance is crucial in predicting the risk of inheriting a specific trait or disorder, as well as in genetic counseling and family planning. Inheritance patterns can be more easily analyzed and predicted when the mode of inheritance is known, aiding in the identification and management of genetic conditions within families.
Can anybody describe the mitochondrial mode of inheritance?
no
What is the mode of inheritance for cystic fibrosis?
Autosomal recessive.
What is the least prevalent mode of inheritance?
Polygenic inheritance is the least prevalent mode of inheritance because it involves multiple genes contributing to a single trait and is influenced by environmental factors, making it more complex and less common than other simpler modes like Mendelian inheritance.
Sicklecell anemia is caused when a mutation results in the replacement of glutamate with valine. Which type of mutation is observed here?
The mutation that results in the replacement of glutamate with valine in sickle cell anemia is a missense mutation. This type of mutation occurs when a single nucleotide change in the DNA sequence leads to the substitution of one amino acid for another in the resulting protein. In this case, the specific change involves the codon for glutamic acid being altered to code for valine, which affects the hemoglobin structure and function.
What is the medical term meaning abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes?
There are many abnormal conditions that can result from genetic inheritance, such as Sickle Cell Anemia.
