This type of genetic disorder requires both parents to “donate” a defective gene. Autosomal recessive (2 little letters: aa , bb, ff ) found on 1 of the first 22 chromosomes. What is it called when an offspring is heterozygous for a recessive genetic disorder?. A carrier ( Dd , Hh , Aa ).

This type of genetic disorder requires both parents to “donate” a defective gene
Autosomal recessive (2 little letters: aa, bb, ff) found on 1 of the first 22 chromosomes
What is it called when an offspring is heterozygous for a recessive genetic disorder?
There are no carriers for these fatal diseases. If you have one copy of this gene then you HAVE the disease
1- Huntington’s Chorea - like Parkinson’s where physical and mental abilities deteriorate2 - Marfan’s syndrome – Lincoln was thought to have this (very tall – usually die of heart problems)
the most common genetic disorder among black people. Red blood cells are abnormally shaped
This genetic disorder is seen in all races of people and animals where pigment (color) is missing
With sex linked genetic disorders, why is it that boys are mostly affected?
Girls have XX so if 1 X is damaged, the other chromosome dominatesBUTboys have XY so if the X is damaged, the Y cannot compensate
Women are carriers of the disease – They DO NOT have it, but with each pregnancy they have a 50-50 chance of passing it on to their sons – those sons are NOT carriers
hemophilia (The Royal Disease of Europe), color blindness, Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy and Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)
the most commonly inherited genetic disorder among Caucasian people. It produces a great deal of phlegm build up.
Aside from taking blood, where else can your blood type be found?
These genetic disorders are most common among people of Eastern European origin – both parents must be carriers
Jewish genetic disorders such as:Tay-Sachs, Niemann-Pick, Canavan’s Disorder, Bloom’s Disease, Familial Dysautonomia and Fanconi Anemia
A diagram that shows the occurrence or appearance of a particular gene or organism from 1 generation to the next
1 – autosomal dominant disease because the chart shows no carriers2- in generation II, three out of the 5 siblings have the disease3 – out of the generation II sibling that got married (2) who have the disease, they passed the disease to 50% of their offspring
Sex linked trait (for color blindness) because most of the females are carriers and most of the males get the disorder
Cross an male with type AB blood with a female who is heterozygous type A
Female: IAiMale: IAIBResult:2 type A offspring: IAIA, Iai1 type AB: IAIB1 type B: IBi
