What else can I help you with?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
True or false a congenital disorder is present at birth?
A congenital disorder, or congenital disease, is a condition existing at birth and often before birth, or that develops during the first month of life (neonatal disease), regardless of causation.
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 is co-dominant disorder?
A co-dominant disorder is a genetic condition where both alleles of a gene are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that reflects a combination of both alleles. This can lead to a distinct phenotype that is different from both homozygous states.
Who is the carrier in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia?
Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is an autosomal recessive disorder, which means that it typically requires both parents to pass on a copy of the faulty gene for a child to be affected. Carriers of the condition usually do not show symptoms themselves but can pass on the gene to their offspring.
What is a disorder is an abnormal condition that exists at the time of birth?
A disorder that is an abnormal condition present at the time of birth is known as a congenital disorder. These conditions can result from genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both, affecting physical structure, function, or metabolism. Examples include congenital heart defects, spina bifida, and Down syndrome. Early diagnosis and intervention can often improve outcomes for individuals with congenital disorders.
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.

What usually increases the appearance of a genetic disorder?
The appearance of a genetic disorder is usually increased by factors such as consanguineous (related) parents, inherited mutations from both parents, or environmental factors that trigger the expression of genetic mutations.
Which type of genetic disorder is Tay-sachs?
It is a recessive defect of a gene on chromosome 15. If both parents carry it and the child gets both copies, he will get this degenerative nerve disorder.
A dominant genetic disorder will be expressed if an individual has?
Two dominant alleles that cause the disorder.
What are the types of congenital diseases?
There are a few types of congenital diseases. The term is used for any condition that is a result of a genetic abnormality. There are ones that are sex linked and affect males more than females, and then there are the ones that affect both equally.
What is a sex-linked disorder and give one example?
Genetic disorders that are linked to either the X or the Y chromosomes. Red-green colorblindness and hemophilia are both sex-linked disorders.
Why do you have clubbed thumbs?
Clubbed thumbs are a genetic disorder, so you inherit them from your mother, father or both.
What is co-dominant disorder?
A co-dominant disorder is a genetic condition where both alleles of a gene are fully expressed, resulting in a phenotype that reflects a combination of both alleles. This can lead to a distinct phenotype that is different from both homozygous states.
Why would a baby have a disorder if his parents do not?
There are two possible explanations. Not all disorders are genetic; for example, the baby might have an infection, might be malnourished, might be injured. Secondly, the baby actually might have a genetic disorder, because the genetics of a baby are not identical to either of the parents, being inherited from both of them. If both parents have a recessive gene, that gene might not be expressed in either parent but could still be expressed in their baby.
