Yes, a pedigree analysis can reveal how Tay-Sachs disease is inherited. This genetic disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to express the disease. By examining family trees, pedigree charts can help identify carriers of the Tay-Sachs gene and track the pattern of inheritance across generations. This analysis can illustrate how the disease is passed down and the likelihood of its occurrence in future offspring.
What else can I help you with?
Does TaySachs disease have a dominant or a recessive trait?
recessive
Suppose this pedigree is for a disease called Huntington's disease. The allele for this disease is dominant. How many of the males shown in the pedigree can be expected to have or develop the disease?
four
Suppose this pedigree is for a disease called Huntington's disease?
4
Which person is most likely to develop symptoms of the disease that is tracked in the pedigree?
i need to see the pedigree...
What are some common problems encountered in pedigree analysis?
Some common problems encountered in pedigree analysis include incomplete or inaccurate family history information, small sample sizes, non-paternity events, and genetic heterogeneity. These factors can complicate the interpretation of inheritance patterns and make it challenging to accurately determine the mode of inheritance for a particular trait or disease.
This pedigree is for a human genetic disease called sickle cell anemia. Assuming that the allele for the disease is recessive how many of the females shown have the disease?
None. =]
Can you use blood group A and O in pedigree analysis?
Yes, blood group A and O can be used in pedigree analysis to track inheritance patterns of traits within a family. By analyzing the blood group of family members across generations, geneticists can determine the mode of inheritance and potential disease risks associated with specific blood types.
Which person on the pedigree could not pass the allele for sickle cell disease to his her offspring?
V
A pedigree chart shows relationships within a family?
A pedigree shows the possible outcomes of traits in offspring. It shows if the offspring will have the trait, or if they will be a carrier. Pedigrees also show the previous generations how the future generations inherited the trait. The past generations can be labeled as F1 and the future are F2, which is our current generation.
This pedigree is for human genetic disease called sickle cell anemia Assuming that the allele for the disease is recessive how many of the female shown have the disease?
NONE.
What does a genetic counselor construct to show the inheritance pattern of a genetic disorder within a family?
Its a pedigree. A pedigree shows the inheritance of a genetic disorder within a family and can help to determine the inheritance pattern and whether any particular individual has an allele for that disorder.
What are pedigrees use for?
Pedigree's are used to show who was in your family and if someone in your family had a disease; it shows your family's generation's.
