Students have asked these similar questions
Recessive genetic disorders are more frequent than disorders inherited as dominant because :
a) carriers are not eliminated by the disease before reproduction
b ) people carrying dominant genetic disorders always die before birth
c ) dominant genetic disorders are never expressed in males
e ) recessive genetic disorders are limited to persons of the same ethnicity
Why are the concepts of variable expressivity, incomplete penetrance, and delayed age of onset so important in relation to genetic diseases?
Ocular albinism is a sex-linked recessive disease carried on the X chromosome. A
female carrier mates with a male with this disorder. What percentage of all of their
children is predicted to be an albino female?
1) 0%
2) 25%
3) 50%
4) 75%
5) 100%
