What is a genetic carrier?
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
Is it true that a female with one copy of the allele will be a carrier and have the disorder?
It depends on the type of disorder being discussed. For X-linked recessive disorders, a female with one copy of the mutated allele (being heterozygous) will typically be a carrier but not exhibit symptoms of the disorder. However, for autosomal dominant disorders, having one copy of the allele is sufficient for the individual to express the disorder. Therefore, the specifics of the allele and disorder in question are crucial for an accurate answer.
What are the odds of offspring having a sex linked disorder if mother is carrier?
The odds depend on the specific sex-linked disorder. For carrier mothers of an X-linked recessive disorder, there is a 50% chance of passing the affected gene to a son (who would be affected) and a 50% chance of passing the gene to a daughter (who would be a carrier). For X-linked dominant disorders, there is a 50% chance of passing the gene to both sons and daughters.
What is it called when someone has two different personalitys?
Having two different personalities is referred to as dissociative identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorder. It is characterized by the presence of two or more distinct and frequently altering identities or personality states in the same person.
What kind of gene pair is found in the female carrier of a sex linked disorder?
In the female carrier of a sex-linked disorder, there would typically be one normal allele and one mutated allele for the gene associated with the disorder on the X chromosome. This is because females have two X chromosomes, and one copy of the X chromosome with the mutated allele can be masked by the normal allele on the other X chromosome.
How is a carrier different from a person who has genetic disorder?
A carrier means that you have the gene for the disorder, but because the gene is recessive (meaning that it only shows when you have two recessive genes) and you obviously have a dominant gene as well, you won't show the disorder. Someone who actually has the disorder has two recessive genes. D = dominant gene r = recessive gene Dr = carrier, no signs rD = carrier, no signs DD = not a carrier, no signs rr = has the disorder
Who is a person that is a carrier for a sex-linked recessive disorder?
Usually female.
What is a genetic carrier?
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
What is a heterozygous person called?
A heterozygous person is called a carrier for the specific trait or gene they carry. This means they have two different alleles for a particular gene, with one dominant and one recessive allele. It is important to note that being heterozygous for a genetic disorder does not necessarily mean the individual will exhibit symptoms of the disorder.
What is the actual smoker surcharge for obamacare in ga?
it varies from carrier to carrier and it's different for each person
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be to transmit it to offspring?
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be heterozygous for the trait and able to transmit it to his offspring. The term heterozygous refers to a pair of gene with one dominant trait and one recessive trait.
Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
What is the cause of DNA disorders and diseases?
When the DNA molecules spit during Meiosis and a disorder is copied into the baby's new DNA, it might get the disorder, or it may just become a carrier. A carrier has the disease or disorder in it's DNA but doesn't show any symptoms of it. The carrier can still pass the disease or disorder on to their kids though. That's what I learned in grade 11 biology!
What is the percent chance that a normal male and a female carrier will have a child who has the disorder?
You might need to indicate what the disorder is.
What is a Cocktail Personality Disorder?
It is a disorder in which a person takes on different personalities. It is different from Multiple Personality Disorder because in MPD, the person has no idea that he or she is taking on more than one personality.
Why can a female be a carrier of a sex linked genetic disorder?
When a female is heterozygous i.e. she possess one allele of disease , she is called carrier .
What does it mean to be a carrier of a disorder?
You may not necessarily have the disorder, but its carried in you genes. so if you were to have kids or already have then there's the possibility of your off spring having the disorder ...To carry is to have it in your genes
