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.
Which alleles would a sufferer have?
A sufferer of a genetic disorder would typically have two copies of a recessive allele (homozygous recessive) for that particular trait or condition. For dominant conditions, they would have at least one copy of the dominant allele (homozygous dominant or heterozygous). The specific alleles involved depend on the disorder in question.
Why would a person who receives genetic therapy for a disorder still be able to pass on the disorder to his or her children?
No, because this genetic disorder occurs because the parents are heterozygous, they don't show any symptoms. However, if each pqarent passes the recessive allele to the child, the child inherits both recessive alleles and will have a recssive genetic disorder, so it doesnt matter if you have a gene transfer because, the new gene is not yours, so you children may have it. xoxo
Is CF X-linked or incomplete dominance?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder, not an X-linked disorder. It means that both copies of the gene responsible for CF need to be mutated in order to develop the disorder. Incomplete dominance refers to a genetic trait where the heterozygous condition results in an intermediate phenotype, which is not the case for CF.
What does recessive allele disorders mean?
Recessive allele disorders are just as they sound - they are disorders that are a result of a prevalent recessive allele in one's genetic makeup. A recessive allele disorder will rarely occur since it is dependent on the crossing of two heterozygous parent cells, but it can lead to interesting consequences. An example of a recessive allele disorder is hemophilia - the body's inability to clot blood - and it has affected much of the European royalty in history, such as Queen Victoria of Great Britain.
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 is a heterozygous indivisual who doesnt show a reccesive genetic disorder but who can pass a reccesive allele on to their offspring is called what?
The individual is called a carrier. This means they carry a recessive allele for a genetic disorder, but they do not exhibit symptoms of the disorder themselves. However, they can pass on the recessive allele to their offspring.
What is the difference between genetic a disorder and a genetic mutation?
Mutation is any change in the genetic code of an individual regardless of how the change manifests. A genetic disorder is the result of an unfavorable mutation that results through through heterozygous recessive parents producing a homozygous recessive offspring, a random dominant mutation, or multiple polygenic mutations that compound for a negative effect on an individual as examples.
Can a person be a carrier for a dominant genetic disorder?
Anyone can be a carrier of a recessive genetic disorder (as long as it is not associated with the sex chromosomes) no matter what their gender since "carrier" refers to an individual that is heterozygous for the recessive allele and therefore phenotypically normal. Specifically, sexlinked genetic disorders can be "carried" by a heterozygous female but males (having only one X chromosome) cannot. Males will either be free of the defective gene or be affected.
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be to transmit it to offspring?
A carrier of a genetic disorder who does not show symptoms is most likely to be heterozygous for the trait and able to transmit it to his offspring. The term heterozygous refers to a pair of gene with one dominant trait and one recessive trait.
What does recessive disorder mean?
Recessive allele disorders are just as they sound - they are disorders that are a result of a prevalent recessive allele in one's genetic makeup. A recessive allele disorder will rarely occur since it is dependent on the crossing of two heterozygous parent cells, but it can lead to interesting consequences.

Is progressive retina atrophy a recessive or dominant genetic disorder?
Progressive Retina Atrophy is a dominant genetic disorder.
What is a heterozygous person called?
A heterozygous person is called a carrier for the specific trait or gene they carry. This means they have two different alleles for a particular gene, with one dominant and one recessive allele. It is important to note that being heterozygous for a genetic disorder does not necessarily mean the individual will exhibit symptoms of the disorder.
Which alleles would a sufferer have?
A sufferer of a genetic disorder would typically have two copies of a recessive allele (homozygous recessive) for that particular trait or condition. For dominant conditions, they would have at least one copy of the dominant allele (homozygous dominant or heterozygous). The specific alleles involved depend on the disorder in question.
Is aspergers a dominant or a recessive?
No. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder
Is eye color a homozygous recessive genetic disorder?
Eye color is not considered a genetic disorder; it is a polygenic trait influenced by multiple genes. The genetics of eye color are complex and involve a combination of dominant and recessive alleles from different genes. It is not classified as a disorder as it does not cause harm or impairment to an individual's health or functioning.
A example of a homosygous genetic disorder?
Cystic Fibrosis is a recessive homozygous genetic disease
