Answer:
The female will not inherit a sex linked disorder if her father suffers rather "have chances or the disorder if the mother is the carrier" for the disorder.
Explanation:
A female has 2 X chromosome, which she got from her parents each. The females will get the disorder or the defective gene if the mother has defective X chromosome or if the father is carrying the same disorder from his father(grandfather). In both the cases the female will be the carrier and have chances to inherit the defect to the offspring. But the female will not affect as the male will. As the female has 2 X chromosomes, and hence the dominant X will compensate for the error in recessive X.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Scientific notation is the use of x x 10^x to write very large numbers in a shorter form.
It can be possible because the mother can present B blood phenotype. This opens the possibility of she having an heterozygous genotype of I^b i or I^b I^b which are dominant over the genotype of the O type father.
Complete question:
If the recessive allele for cystic fibrosis is represented as c, classify the following genotypes as homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or carriers: CC,Cc, and cc. State which one has the phenotype of cystic fibrosis.
Answer:
CC - homozygous dominant
cc - homozygous recessive
Cc - carriers
cc will have the phenotype
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects the production of mucus in the body, primarily affecting the lungs and digestive system.
Because it is autosomal recessive, an affected individual needs to inherit 2 copies of the faulty gene. The presence of just one normal copy of the gene is sufficient not to cause the disease
In genetics, the dominant allele is usually displayed as a capital letter and the recessive as a small letter. Homozygous means someone has 2 copies of the same allele, heterozygous means they have different alleles. Therefore, CC - homozygous dominant, cc - homozygous recessive, and Cc - carriers. Only those with a cc genotype will be affected, as the presence of one dominant allele is enough to block the phenotype
