No. Recessive genetic traits (not all are defined as disorders) can be passed from either parent.

Is sex linked recessive disorders most often passed from mothers to son?

Only if it's a disease that has to do with genes located in the Y chromosome. Sex-linked diseases are mostly passed on from mothers to sons, such as hemophilia and daltonism.


Is a disorder know as a dominant or recessive?

A disorder can be either dominant or recessive, depending on the specific genetic inheritance pattern. Dominant disorders only require one copy of the mutated gene to be expressed, while recessive disorders require two copies.


How are autosomal disorders passed down?

the disorder is usually either autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant. they are passed down from the parents to the next generation. autosomal reccessive diseases only are when one parent gives one reccessive allele and the other parent gives the other reccessive allele. A dominant autosomal disorder can be inherited with one or two of the alleles.


Which statements is untrue about X-linked disorders?

This question cannot be answered on WikiAnswers because we don't know any of the "following statements".


Many serious diseases can be passed from parent to offspring through genes. In which case given below is a recessive disease NOT able to be passed on?

A recessive disease is not able to be passed on if both parents are carriers of the gene but do not express the disease themselves. In this case, the offspring would only inherit the disease if they receive two copies of the recessive gene, one from each parent. If the child inherits only one recessive gene and one dominant gene, they will be a carrier but will not exhibit the disease. Thus, the disease can only be passed on if both parents contribute the recessive allele.
