What is the likeilhood that a person who has two parents with the disease will be a carrier of defective gene?

A child has a 25 percent chance of inheriting a disorder if each parent holds a single gene for a recessive disease. This is because the chance of getting a dominant gene that will mask the recessive gene is very high.

The genetic material of which kind of cells is included in a single circular molecule of DNA devoid of any histone proteins?

You must have Dr. Gay, or they use standard tests! The only idea I have is BACTERIA because all eukaryotes have histones, so that would rule out plants and animals.

How do you calculate the genetic potential of a horse on howrse?

If you want to find the genetic potential of a certain horse, just click on the 'genetic' tab that is right next to the 'characteristics' tab (where his health, energy, morale is etc) and you should see it in the top right corner.
You can go to help it will say genetics!

How is DNA copied and passed from one generation to the next?

DNA is copied into the chromosomes by genes transition and genes transferred by the for example the healthy plants genes tranwere into unhealthy plants and thath ways dna molecule will be transwered . :)

What is gene cloning and gene modification?

Gene cloning is when you take the entire genetic profile to create a copy of the donor of the genes. Gene modification is when you change a persons genes, in a way to change the outcome of how the baby will look, act, her/his personality and a lot more.

In this case, gene cloning would come under the category of gene manipulation.

Reeders cross two genetically similar organisms is called?

a cross between dissimilar individual to bring together their best characteristic is called

1.hyberidiztion

2.interbreeding

3.sequencign

4.genetic engineering

select one of them

What are some advancement possibilities in mechanical engineering?

Mechanical engineering technology is the application of physical principles and current technological developments to the creation of useful machinery and operation design. Technologies such as solid models may be used as the basis for finite element analysis (FEA) and / or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the design. Through the application of computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), the models may also be used directly by software to create "instructions" for the manufacture of objects represented by the models, through computer numerically-controlled (CNC) machining or other automated processes, without the need for intermediate drawings.

Mechanical engineering technologists are also expected to understand and be able to apply concepts from the chemistry and electrical engineering fields. Mechanical engineering technologists are expected to apply current technologies and principals to machine and product design, production, and manufacturing processes.

What is a potential benefit for the environment that stems from genetic engineering?

From the anedotal evidence, potential benefits for the environment of genetic engineering are difficult to find. There have been promises of less chemicals in the form of pesticides being needed for GM crops, but that just has not been shown to be true. Also, "unintentional" cross-breeding of GM varieties with non-GMO varieties, including organically grown crops, has been shown to be occurring.

What causes hybridization?

Crossing two pure bred organisms will produce hybrids. The best example is a cross between a male donkey and a female horse which will produce a mule. The cross of a male horse and a female donkey produces a henny. Mules are considered smarted than either parent.

List of colleges of genetic engineering in the US?

if you go to the collegeboard website, you can search for all sorts of criteria.. go to students, then on the far left there is a place to search colleges by name or by major, location, etc. or use this..

Did you find any colleges ? I am looking for the same info. Please let me know. thank you

What causes genetic mutations in humans?

X-rays and UV rays can both cause genetic mutations in humans. Also, exposure to certain chemicals, like those in tobacco. A certain amount of mutations also occur all the time, regardless of your exposure to harmful agents like these, due to the built in error-rate when DNA is copied.

Is there a genetic test for klinefelter's syndrome to test parents or unborn children?

Yes a karyotype is performed which is a blood test to be able to look at the number of chromosomes a person has, and therefore would be able to identify the extra X chromosome in case someone has it.

What does a genetic diagram show?

A genetic diagram shows the possible outcomes of a cross of two individuals' genes. The top line displays the phenotypes of one generation, and the bottom line displays the predicted phenotypes of the offspring.

How are restriction enzymes important tools in genetic engineering?

restriction enzymes are important tools in genetic engineering because they just are!!

Why do they use yeast in genetic engineering?

Yeast is a eukaryote and its DNA resembles more to animals and plants than bacteria,. hence, proteins produced by genetically engenieered yeasts may provide a better match plants, animals and humans than proteins made by bacteris.

Is dyslexia genetically related?

Absolutely! If you have a close family member who has dyslexia, you are much more likely to have it yourself. Both my father and my mother's father have dyslexia, therefore it is not such a surprise that I do. Also, if you have people who are left-handed in your family, that has been proven to increase your likelihood of having dyslexia.

How can genetic engineering help to solve food crisis?

By providing food crops that have greater yield and can exist in a range of conditions. or By creating a food supply for all people

What is the definition of genetic distance?

The "distance" or similarity between the allelic frequency of two separate populations. *Usually the two populations are separated over a significant geographic distance.

The process which gametes from two parents combine to from one new cell?

In sexual reproduction, genetic material from two separate organisms is combined in the offspring. The other alternative is asexual reproduction, in which the genetic material for the offspring comes from just one parent.

Is genetic engineering a good thing or a bad thing?

It could be argued that genetic research is neither good nor bad, it is the application of the research that may be good or bad. For example, a rich dictator creating a clone of himself - bad thing, a cure for Parkinson's disease - good thing.

Can bacteria undergo recombination?

Generally speaking, no. Bacteria reproduce asexually, via a process known as binary fission, in which two identical daughter cells results from the splitting of a parent cell.

However, bacteria do have ways of modifying their DNA through various methods.

See link below.

What is applied genetics?

Applied genetics is the process of using gene theories to attempt to actually produce a genetic product.

An example of this would be genetically engineered seeds.
