Is Parkinson disease on chromosome 6?

No, Parkinson's disease is not caused by a mutation on chromosome 6. The exact cause of Parkinson's disease is not fully understood, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Some rare forms of Parkinson's disease are linked to specific gene mutations, but these are not located on chromosome 6.


How can duplication of a chromosome of the first pair produce a double head and at the same time affect the wing pigmentation and body organism?

There are multiple genes encoded by this chromosome. The duplication of the chromosome might have dysregulated multiple genes that affect the patterning of the head and body and affect wing pigmentation. On the other hand, one gene might be involved in all these processes. For instance, patients with Down syndrome have three copies of chromosome 21, resulting in developmental issues but also an early onset of Alzheimers Disease.


What chromosome is affected in fabry disease?

The allele that is responsible of Fabry Disorder/Disease is located on the X chromosome and is the only lipid storage disorder identified as being sex linked.


Why does the X chromosome affect an organisms phenotype more than the Y chromosome?

The X chromosome contains considerably more genetic material than the Y chromosome.


What is an individual who has a recessive disease causing allele at a particular gene on one chromosome and a normal allele at that gene on the other chromosome?

An individual with a recessive disease-causing allele on one chromosome and a normal allele on the other chromosome is referred to as a heterozygote for that gene. Since the disease is recessive, the normal allele typically masks the effects of the recessive allele, meaning the individual usually does not exhibit symptoms of the disease. However, they can still pass the recessive allele to their offspring.
