What are the odds of inheriting a disease carried on a dominant allele?
If one parent carries the disease on a dominant allele, there is a 50% chance that their offspring will inherit the disease. Dominant alleles are always expressed in the phenotype, so if a parent has the disease, their offspring have a 50% chance of inheriting it.
In the genetic pedigree person U and her husband are considering having another child What is the percent chance that this child will develop sickle cell disease?
If both U and her husband are carriers of the sickle cell trait, there is a 25% chance that their child will develop sickle cell disease. This is because there is a 50% chance the child will inherit one sickle cell gene from each parent, resulting in the disease.
Hurlington disease is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects the nervous system if a man is heterozygous for the alleles that cause the condition and has children with a woman who lacks then?
If a man who is heterozygous for the Hurlington disease alleles has children with a woman who does not have the alleles, there is a 50% chance that each of their children will inherit the disease allele. Since Hurlington disease is autosomal dominant, inheriting just one copy of the disease allele will result in the individual being affected by the disorder.
Which of the following is an example of an autosomal dominant disease A Huntington's disease and neurofibromatosis type 1 or B Alzheimer's Disease and Heart Disease?
A. Huntington's disease and neurofibromatosis type 1 are examples of autosomal dominant diseases. These conditions are caused by a single copy of a mutated gene on an autosome (non-sex chromosome) and can be passed down from one affected parent to their offspring with a 50% chance of inheritance.
An individual who has one copy of a recessive autosomal allele that causes disease in the homozygous condition?
They are a carrier of the disease but do not show any symptoms because they have one normal allele that can compensate for the recessive disease-causing allele. If they have children with a partner who is also a carrier, there is a chance their offspring may inherit two copies of the disease-causing allele and develop the disease.
What percentage of patients with Sickle Cell Disease is not of African decent?
Sickle Cell Disease can be found in patients of any nationality or decent. Both parents must carry the recessive gene for this disease, and only then their offspring have a 25% chance of inheriting the disease. Those of African decent have approximately an 8% chance of inheriting the disease, Hispanics have about a 0.07% chance of inheriting the disease, and whites have roughly a 0.001% chance of inheriting the disease.
Is the rainforest an endangered ecosystem?
Yes, it can be but if you are prepared there's less of chance.
What cancer has the greatest chance for recovery?
breast
Is huntington's disease dominate or recessive?
It is autosomal dominant, meaning it is not on a sex chromosome (X or Y). If one of your parents has the disease and they are heterozygote for the disease than there is a 50% chance of inheriting the disease yourself. If one of your parents has the disease and is homozygote for the disease (very unlikely!) then you will 100% inherit Huntington's Disease. If both of your parents have the disease and are both heterozygotes for the disease then there is a 75% chance that you will have the disease.
What increases the chance of developing a disease?
Poor hygiene.
Is polycystic kidney disease more dominant in males or females?
It does not favor male or female, both have an equal chance of inheriting the disease. If a parent has the disease each child whether male or female have a 50% chance of inheriting the disease.
What is it called when you have no chance of catching an animal disease?
Imune. But that pretty much goes for any sort of disease.
