2. It affects the hemoglobin gene]]> 2021-03-09 18:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1289281240 ssadamas https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1289281735 1. It is expressed by creating sickled red blood cells which are fragile and easily damaged, which come from a mutation in the hemoglobin gene. These sickled red blood cells can also clog blood vessels due to their abnormal size. Anemia happens because the sickled cells are usually destroyed before their life is completed this creates a shortage in red blood cells which cannot supply enough oxygen to the body.

2.  The symptoms are having oxygen concentration drop when exercising and having red blood cells stick together. Also sickle cells may jam capillaries, cause blood clots, Paralyzing strokes may occur if blood cannot travel to the brain which means it will not be able to give oxygen.]]> 2021-03-09 18:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1289281735 ssadamas https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1289282154 1. This gene is not sex-linked

2.

However, this disorder in Africa causes people to be resistant to malaria which gives them a “heterozygous advantage”.]]> 2021-03-09 18:40:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1289282463 ssadamas https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1290127560 1.

The mutant Huntington interferes with the action of normal Huntington and forms large aggregates in nerve cells that ultimately kills the cells

2. The results and symptoms of this disease are loss of coordination, flailing movements, personality disturbances and eventual death.]]> 2021-03-10 00:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1290398831 mvij https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1290417317 1.

Hemophilia is expressed by an inherited tendency for the blood to not clot properly. This can cause bleeding of its own as well as bleeding after an accident or surgery. 

2. Symptoms include bleeding into the joints which can cause swelling and pain or tightness in the joints. Bleeding into the skin (bruising) or muscle and soft tissue causing a build-up of blood in the area  (a hematoma). Bleeding of the mouth and gums, and bleeding that is hard to stop after losing a tooth. Blood in the urine or stool.]]> 2021-03-10 23:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1295610410 nmomplai https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1295633853 1. This gene is sex linked.

2. The mother's X chromosome with the hemophilia gene or her X chromosome with the usual blood clotting gene will be passed on to the baby.  Since the Y chromosome does not carry the hemophilia gene, a son born to a man with hemophilia and a woman who is not a carrier will not have hemophilia.]]> 2021-03-11 00:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1295633853 nmomplai https://padlet.com/mvij/gumyidbpgexpldce/wish/1295646150 I learned a couple of things. I learned that hemophilia affects about one out of every 5,000 males born. Hemophilia A is four times more common than hemophilia B, and about half of those who are infected have a moderate form of the condition. Hemophilia affects about 400,000 people globally, including only 20,000 people in the United States.

Albinism is expressed with very light skin and hair color than what is compared to their siblings if they don't have albinism. This causes skin that is very sensitive to UV rays from the sun.
