Inheritance of Genetic Disorders (Group 3) by Heather Murray https://padlet.com/hglenville/cerdzlgbz8a1pve6 en-us 2021-02-21 16:11:51 UTC 2023-03-07 00:31:43 UTC hello@padlet.com Sex- Linked Colour Blindness https://padlet.com/hglenville/cerdzlgbz8a1pve6/wish/2505478435 XcY
A sex - linked inheritance is usually found in the X chromosome.

Colour blindness is a recessive gene and is more common in male because they only have one X while the female has 2 Xs. In females, the dominant gene usually is able to mask the gene. 

One of the most common forms would be Red -  Green colour blindness where the person would see different shades of brown. ]]> 2023-03-06 16:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/cerdzlgbz8a1pve6/wish/2505478435 Autosomal Recessive Disorders gevans52 https://padlet.com/hglenville/cerdzlgbz8a1pve6/wish/2505493175 You must inherit two altered genes (mutations) in order to have an autosomal recessive condition. The parents' health is normally fine, as most are carriers, meaning they only have one altered gene. If two parents have this, then the child can have two altered genes and will have the disorder. With two unaffected genes, there is a 25% probability that two carriers will have an unaffected child. They have a 50% probability of giving birth to a carrier who is also unaffected. Two altered genes increase the likelihood of them having an afflicted child by 25%.]]> 2023-03-06 16:58:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/cerdzlgbz8a1pve6/wish/2505493175 Sex-Linked (Hemophilia) https://padlet.com/hglenville/cerdzlgbz8a1pve6/wish/2505976625 Predominantly on males, because it's recessive on the x chromosome. The male carrier determines gender of offspring but female parent determines sex-linked trait in the offspring. Genes all located on x chromosome. Males don't have opportunity to mask it on x chromosome, where females do.

Hemophilia is a blood clotting condition where your body will have difficulty clotting blood. Therefore, your body will bleed for a long time, they will take longer to heal because they're body can't form scabs. It can be lethal because body can't heal itself fast enough. ]]> 2023-03-07 00:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/hglenville/cerdzlgbz8a1pve6/wish/2505976625
