Can a baby be born with a CF gene if neither parent has the gene?
No, a baby cannot be born with a CF gene if neither parent has the gene. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, meaning both parents must be carriers of the mutated CF gene in order to have a child with the condition.
Why do some people have the same skin colour as their parent and others skin colour different from their parent?
it depends on your gene. there are dominant and recessive gene present. and for skin colour, bright colour are dominant over dark colour. if the both the parent are bright skin colour but the children is dark skin colour. there are possibilities where the recessive gene present in one or both parent. under certain circumstances the recessive gene will show its trait instead of the dominant gene. that's why some parent skin colour is different from the childrens' skin colour
How is it that a parent can have a gene but not have the phenotype that gene is code for?
A parent can carry a gene without expressing the associated phenotype due to the presence of recessive alleles. If the gene in question is recessive, the parent must have two copies of that gene to display the phenotype, while having just one copy can result in the dominant phenotype. Additionally, gene expression can be influenced by various factors, including environmental conditions and epigenetic modifications, which can also affect whether a phenotype is exhibited.
What Segments of DNA transferred from parent to offspring are called?
gene
What is the gene that codes for a particular trait is known as what?
An allele is a gene for a specific trait. Cells contain two alleles for every gene, with one allele provided by each parent of an organism.
Is there a gene that causes a person to be gay?
As of 2014, there is no known gene that causes someone to be gay. In the US, approximately 1.6 percent of the population identifies as gay.
What is the Mode of inheritance hemophilia?
Transmitted by a dominant gene. If that gene is inherited from either parent, the offspring will develop HD. If the gene is NOT inherited, then the offspring will not have HD- AND cannot pass the gene to their offspring.
Is Anthony Bruno gay?
No, only if he is injected with the gay gene!
Was gene autry gay?
yes
What position did Peter Conrad embrace about all homosexuals do not have the gay gene and that many men with the gay gene are not homosexual?
peter conrad noted that all homsexuals do not have gay genes
Do you get your eye color from your parent?
Yes you get your eye color from your parent. The parent that carries one dominant gene and one recessive gene for a specific eye color and the other parent carries two recessive genes for a different eye color, you will get the eye color of the parent who carries the dominant and recessive gene. In other words, the dominant gene trumps the recessive gene. In another scenario, if both parents carry two recessive genes for a specific eye color, then you will inherit the recessive gene of that color.
If a parent is gay can the offspring be gay?
OpinionHaving gay parents will affect the upbringing of their children, as the kids as exposed to more homosexual behaviors than heterosexual household. [Supervisor's note: this is not true. Exposure to any sexual orientation does not affect one's own sexual orientation]AnswerIn order for a parent who is gay to have gay offspring they would first have to engage in heterosexual relations and secondly have the chemistry of a gay gene or trait to pass on to the offspring.In 2003, Human Genome Project, was completed. There is absolutely no evidence of a gay gene.AnswerRecent evidence shows that homosexuality is caused by a mixture of both genetic and prenatal hormonal factors:See related links.There is no evidence of a single gay gene; a vaguely understood sequence of genes appears to be involved. Combined with the fact that uterine environment is so important, having a gay parent will likely not be the deciding factor in a child's orientation.Far more telling, would be a child whose mother had already born other children of that child's same sex and was herself from a very large or fertile family.
Can a baby be born with a CF gene if neither parent has the gene?
No, a baby cannot be born with a CF gene if neither parent has the gene. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, meaning both parents must be carriers of the mutated CF gene in order to have a child with the condition.
Can 2 people with Huntington's Disease produce an offspring who does not have Huntington's disease?
Unfortunately, no. Huntington's is carried on a dominant gene. One parent HD, one non-HD, you have a 50-50 chance of not inheriting that gene. But two parents that are HD, you will inherit the gene from one parent or the other.
Is gene orzech gay?
no because he likes girls
Is there a gene that inclines African Americans to be gay?
No. This is nonsense.
When a gene inherited from one parent masks the expression of the gene inherited from the other parent that gene is said to be?
That gene is said to be dominant. Dominant genes will be expressed over recessive genes in a heterozygous individual.
