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

In a hierarchical relationship, a subordinate object is typically of less importance or holds a lower position compared to a dominant object. The dominant object often exerts more control, influence, or authority over the subordinate object.
It is a personal preference, but traditionally people wear their watch on their non-dominant wrist. This allows for ease of movement with the 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.
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.
No, autosomal recessive
no, it is an inhereted disease and is also recessive.
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?
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:
You must inherit two recessive alleles, one from each parent.
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.
Tay-sachs is autosomal.
It was named after doctors Warren Tay and Bernard Sachs.
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).
Tay-Sachs disease has a recessive pattern of inheritance, and approximately 1 in every 27 people of Jewish ancestry in the United States carries the TSD gene.
50-50. Each parent contributes one pair of genes to their offspring. HD is carried on a Dominant gene. If your father has HD, you may inherit the recessive gene (No HD) or the dominant gene (HD). Odds are exactly even.
