Because Huntington's is a genetic disorder and it is known what sequence in what region causes the disorder.

What is caused by a dominant allele that expresses itself late in a persons life?
Huntingtons Disease
A person can be tested for the allele that causes Tay-Sachs disease because the what of that allele is different from that of the normal allele?
DNA sequencing
What causes huningtons disease?
Huntingtons disease is a genetic/inherited diesease. It is caused by a faulty allele (a dominant one), which can be inherited by parents. Spontanoius mutations may also occur which would cause the faulty gene and therefore huntingtons disorder.
How is a recessive allele Different from dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
Is a recessive allele different from a dominant allele?
Yes, they are different. A recessive allele gets its name because when in the presence of a dominant allele, it will "recede" and not show, hence the name for the dominant allele.
How are the bases in one allele different from the bases in another allele?
The bases in one allele is different from bases in another allele because an allele is different forms of the same gene. This means that even though they have been programed for the same thing there is a variation
What is it called when you have only one dominant allele to get the disease?
if an indivigual has a dominent allele for a disease he/she is an affected individual.
Is the allele causing huntington's disease dominant or recessive?
Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant allele
How is a recessive alle different from a dominant allele?
its different because adominant allele is in charge
Will every individual who inherits the allele for Huntington's disease develop the disease?
Yes, Huntington's disease is autosomal dominant with high penetrance. Every individual who inherits the allele gets the disease.
An organism with a genotype of Hh is a hybrid because?
All the F1 plants are tall because the dominant allele for a tall stems masks the recessive allele for short alleleAn organism with a genotype of Hh is a hybrid because the dominant allele for longer stems covers the recessive allele.
What is a type of degenerative disease cause be a dominant allele?
Huntington's Disease.
