Is cleft lip and palate an autosomal or sex linked disorder?
Cleft lip and palate is not a sex-linked disorder. It is a common birth defect that occurs due to both genetic and environmental factors, with a multifactorial inheritance pattern involving multiple genes as well as environmental influences.
What is a sex- linked disorder caused by a reccessive allele on the x chromosome?
yes
Is canavan disease sex-linked?
Canavan disease is not a sex-linked genetic disorder. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that both parents must pass on a copy of the mutated gene in order for an individual to inherit the disease.
Sex linked recessive disorder are most often passed from mother to sons?
true
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 required for an individual to have a sex-linked disorder?
A sex-linked disorder is when a mutation of genes overrides the normal function of a another gene. For example, male-pattern baldness is a sex-linked disorder.

How can you distinguish between a sex linked disorder and sex limited from the pedigree?
A sex linked disorder will show up in males and females, but it will show up twice as much in the males. A sex limited disorder will show up in only one gender. If it is onlyfemales, then you know that it's sex limited. If it is onlymales, then it is sex limited.
Is Wilson's disease a sex-linked or autosomal disorder?
Wilson's disease is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that both copies of the gene associated with the disease must be mutated for the individual to develop the condition. It is not a sex-linked disorder, as it does not depend on the individual's sex for inheritance.
