Most genetic diseases tend to be recessive. why is that?

1 answer:

3 0

If the disease was cause by the dominant allele, every person with said gene would be affected with the disease. if the genetic allele is recessive, both parents can be carriers (hetero) without being affected. that makes it easier for the genes to keep being passed on.

hope this helps!

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Lysosomes.

Explanation:

HEXA (Hexosaminidase A) is the functional enzyme and encoded by the HEXA gene. The main function of this enzyme is the hydroxylation of the gangliosides.

The mutation in this gene leads to the lysosomal storage disease. The GM2 starts accumulating in the lysosomes and causes Tay Sach's disease. This is a genetic disorder that leads to the breakdown of the cells of the spinal cord and the brain.

Thus, the answer is lysosomes.
