- Describe in words the likely transmission of an autosomal dominant disorder. Include details of the parent’s genotype and subsequent pattern and probability of inheritance of the single gene disorder for the offspring produced and provide an example of an autosomal dominant disorderarrow_forwardHuntington disease (HD) is a genetic disorder that usually first appears in middle age and, over time, leads to involuntary movements, impaired speech, difficulty swallowing and speaking, and cognitive decline. There is no cure for HD, and affected individuals eventually die, usually after 10 to 15 years of progressively worsening symptoms. Huntington disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant disorder. Presymptomatic genetic testing for HD is available for people with a family history of the disease. Individuals who have a parent with HD have a 50% chance of inheriting the HD gene and eventually having HD. Some of these individuals want to know if they will eventually get the disease, and they undergo presymptomatic genetic testing. Others do not want to know, given that there is no cure or effective treatment for the disease. If you were at risk for HD, would you want to undergo genetic testing? What are some reasons for and against having a genetic test for HD?arrow_forwardPlease fill in the following red areas.arrow_forward

- Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. A. Symptoms of hereditary hemochromatosis include fatigue, joint pain, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, skin discoloration, delayed puberty in males, and premature menopause in women. All of these symptoms result a single mutation in a specific gene. Name and define this genetic phenomenon and explain how it relates to this specific genetic situation described above.arrow_forwardDescribe the genetics of Huntington's Disease (choose all that are correct): X-linked Disease-causing alleles are full or partial loss-of-function alleles Autosomal Dominant Rare Late age of onset Recessivearrow_forwardExplain the genetic alterations resulting in chromosomal aberrations and their relationship to disease processes such as trisomy 21 and Philadelphia-chromosome linked chronic myelocytic leukemia.arrow_forward
