What else can I help you with?
What disease is caused by a dominant allele of a single gene?
Huntington's Disease
What is a Co-dominant alleles disorder?
One example is Huntington's Disease. With a recessive genetic disorder, to develop the disorder, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents (odds, 1 in 4). With a dominant gene disorder, if you inherit the gene from ONE parent, you will develop that disorder (odds- 1 in 2).
What a human genetic disorder caused by a dominant gene is?
Huntington disease
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.
Is huntington disease a autosomal dominant disorder?
Yes, Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene on chromosome 4. An affected individual has a 50% chance of passing on the mutated gene to each of their children.
Is wilsons disease dominant or recessive?
Wilson's disease is recessive
Is huntington's disease a mutation?
No, it is a dominant gene
What disease is caused by a dominant allele of a single gene?
Huntington's Disease
If an individual expresses a dominant disease will the children always inherit the disease?
Not always. It depends if the individual is a hybrid- meaning they have both the dominant and the recessive gene. They can pass on the recessive gene instead of the dominant one, and assuming the other parents also passes on the recessive gene, the child will not inherit the disease.
What are the chances a child will be born with a hereditary disorder or disease?
Depends on the disease- dominant gene or recessive gene- and the genotypes of the parents.
What is a Co-dominant alleles disorder?
One example is Huntington's Disease. With a recessive genetic disorder, to develop the disorder, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents (odds, 1 in 4). With a dominant gene disorder, if you inherit the gene from ONE parent, you will develop that disorder (odds- 1 in 2).
Huntington's disease will occur in individuals who receive a gene from one parent only. Therefore the gene for Huntington's is referred to as .?
dominant
IS Huntington's disease an autosomal recessive gene?
Nope. Dominant
A person who does not show a genetic disease such as Tay Sachs or Cystic Fibrosis but can pass the gene on to the next generation is called?
A carrier. This is usually a disease that requires two parts of a gene. The faulty gene is the recessive gene, and the healthy gene is the dominant gene. If two people with one dominant and one recessive gene each have a child they have a 25% chance of producing a child with two dominant genes, thereby resulting in that child having the disease.
What a human genetic disorder caused by a dominant gene is?
Huntington disease
What is a human genetic disorder caused by a dominant gene is?
One example is Huntington's Disease. Carried on a dominant gene, it causes deterioration of the central nervous system, affecting movement, swallowing, personality, etc.
What is an example of dominant inheritance?
Dominant Inheritance is when one parent has a dominant gene and the other has a recessive gene. The dominant gene overpowers the recessive gene, and only the dominant gene is phenotypically expressed.Source: http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/recessive.phpSome examples are variegate porphyria, Huntington's disease and myotonic dystrophy.source: http://genome.wellcome.ac.uk/doc_WTD020849.html
