What is caused by a dominant allele that expresses itself late in a persons life?
Huntingtons Disease
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.
Is the allele causing huntington's disease dominant or recessive?
Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant allele
Would a dominant allele ever return to a population?
If a population does not have a particular dominant allele, it could return to the population through the immigration of new individuals carrying the dominant allele.
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.
What is a person who has a dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene?
A person who has one dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene is typically considered to be affected by the condition if the disease is caused by the dominant allele. In this case, the dominant allele's effects will manifest, overshadowing the recessive allele. The individual may not express traits associated with the recessive allele, as the dominant trait takes precedence.
What disease is caused by a dominant allele of a single gene?
Huntington's Disease
What is a type of degenerative disease cause be a dominant allele?
Huntington's Disease.
Which condition is inherited a dominant allele?
Huntington's Disease
Would a recessive allele or dominant allele be more common in population?
Dominant allele because its more likely to be received by the next generation.
A person can be tested for the allele that causes huntingtons disease because of that allele is different from that of a normal allele?
Because Huntington's is a genetic disorder and it is known what sequence in what region causes the disorder.
What are the odds of inheriting a disease carried on a dominant allele?
If one parent carries the disease on a dominant allele, there is a 50% chance that their offspring will inherit the disease. Dominant alleles are always expressed in the phenotype, so if a parent has the disease, their offspring have a 50% chance of inheriting it.
