It is neither recessive nor dominant because it is a chromosomal disorder and not just a problem present in a single gene.

How are dominant and recessive traits different?
A dominant trait is the trait that will show. A recessive trait is the trait that is hidden. For example if your mom had brown eyes and your dad has green eyes you would have brown eyes because brown eyes are the dominant trait
Is a subordinate object is of less importance than a dominant object?
A subordinate object is of less importance than a dominant object.TrueFalse
Why oil is still dominant source of energy?
Oil is clearly dominant in transport, and chemical feedstocks used to make a wide variety of products, and also important in many homes for heating. For electricity production coal is in fact dominant and oil is very little used.
What is the dominant intermolecular force in HF?
Hydrogen bonding
Why is your dominant hand more sensitive than your non-dominant hand?
Not completely, your dominant hand will always feel more natural to you, yet sometime when an arm or hand has been broken for a long period of time the other hand will become skilled enough to perform adequately.
Why is tay sachs is considered recessive level and codominant at the molecular level?
The part of tay sachs that kills you is recessive. Some proteins are still expressed even if you are a heterzygous carrier of tay sachs (less than if you are homozygous recessive but more than homozygous dominant) making the molecular view of tay sachs codominant.
Recessive disorder that results from the absence of an enzyme required to break lipids down?
tay-sachs disease
Is tay-sachs caused by codominant alleles?
No, autosomal recessive
Is Tay Sachs contagious?
no, it is an inhereted disease and is also recessive.
Is Tay Sachs disease a dominant lethal allele?
I believe it is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning it is only apparent with a homozygous recessive genotype. But i could be wrong (i loathe biology). oh really?
Is Tay-Sachs disease recessive?
Yes. In order to develop Tay-Sachs, you must inherit the gene for it from BOTH parents. If you inherit from ONE parent, you can be a carrier, but will not develop the disease. If BOTH parents are carriers, your odds of inheriting Tay-Sachs is 1-4. Other genetic diseases, such as Huntingtons, are carried on a dominant gene- If one parent has gene, odds are 1-2. Link at the bottom of the page for more information on Tay-Sachs:
How does someone get an autosomal recessive disorder such as Tay Sachs?
You must inherit two recessive alleles, one from each parent.
What is the nervous system that breakdown that is caused by an autosomal recessive allele?
achondroplasia
What is a good sentence for recessive gene?
A recessive gene is one that does not show outwardly unless the organism has two copies of it. If you have only one copy of a recessive gene, your appearance is that of the dominant gene. Here are some sentences.Red hair is caused by a recessive gene.The baby had two recessive genes for Tay-Sachs disease, and did not live.You cannot tell if someone has a recessive gene just by looking at them.
Is alzheimer's disease sex linked or autosomal?
Tay-sachs is autosomal.
How is Tay Sachs Disease inherited?
A mutation of the HEX A gene of chromosome 15 causes Tay-Sachs disease. As a result, the protein hexosaminidase A is not formed properly and GM2 ganglioside, the lipid normally broken down by hexosaminidase A, accumulates to toxic levels (especially in the brain).
What are facts about tay-sachs?
It was named after doctors Warren Tay and Bernard Sachs.
