What is the genotype of a carrier?
Rr heterozygous
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your?
You can be a carrier of a recessive gene as part of your genotype.
Is a person who is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic disese a carrier?
As long as a persons genotype consists of at least one recessive gene, they can pass it on to offspring to give them the disease, which makes them a carrier. Since this persons genes are both recessive, it is definite that they will pass on the recessive gene.
What is true of a woman with the genotype?
She is a carrier of hemophilia but does not have the condition
Which genotypes are possible for offspring of a carrier (Ss) and a person who lacks the sickle-cell allele (SS)?
SS,Ss
Why is the genotype heterozygous also known as a hybrid or carrier?
A genotype that is heterozygous means an individual has two different alleles for a particular gene. This can result in a mix of traits or characteristics, earning the term "hybrid" from the blending of genetic information. In cases where one allele is dominant and the other recessive, the individual may not exhibit the recessive trait but can pass it on to offspring, hence being referred to as a "carrier."
A girl is a hemophiliac whose mother is normal what are the genotypes of her parents?
The girl must have inherited an X chromosome with the hemophilia gene from her mother, who is a carrier (heterozygous X^HX^h). The father must have contributed a Y chromosome, as males determine the offspring's sex. The father's genotype is not directly related to the daughter's hemophilia status.
How can you tell if someone is a carrier?
If their genotype contains both a dominant and a recessive allele for a trait.
What does What are the possible outcomes for the offspring mean?
Offspring usually means 'children', or 'answers'. That should help. _____________ I'm guessing that it's a biology question, and it's dealing with genetics. If so the question is asking you to report all the different ways that the genes of the parent organisms can combine to produce different values for a given characteristic. For example, you might list one possibility as "male, with such-and-such eye color, or "male with color blindness", or "female carrier of color blindness", that kind of thing. The idea may be to determine how genotype and phenotype interact, and to determine from that the probabilities of having an offspring with a the various possible phenotypes.
What is being carried by a genetic carrier?
A genetic carrier has a dominant and a recessive version of an allele. Normally, the term genetic carrier is used in relation to genetic illnesses where two copies of the recessive allele cause that illness. Therefore, a carrier does not have the illness themself (as the dominant, non-disease allele is expressed over the recessive allele). However, they have the ability to create an offspring who has the double recessive genotype and therefore has the condition if they mate with another carrier or someone who is double recessive (who has the disease).
An individual with a recessive allele for an undesirable trait is called?
A carrier. This individual may not show the undesirable trait, but can pass on the recessive allele to their offspring.
If someone is a heterozygous carrier of the tay-sachs gene what is their genotype?
if someone is a Heterozygous carrier of Tay-Sachs they would have to be Tt. Because TT is Homozygous.
