PPT-Genetics disorders A genetic disorder is a disease caused

via an alternation in the DNA sequence Genetic disorders can be caused by a mutation in one gene or mutations in multiple genes or a combination of gene mutations and environmental factors. Warm Up: 2/1/2017. Instructions: Turn in your Cornel notes on Mutation Types and Causes to the turn it in box on my desk & start working on answering the . questions below:. What is a mutation? . What has gone wrong?. 2. Certain human genetic disorders can be attributed to the inheritance of single gene traits or specific chromosomal changes, such as nondisjunction.. illustrative examples:. . Genetic disorders can be due to any of the following factors:. A. Monogenetic Disorders: Caused by a mutation in a single gene. Autosomal. recessive alleles:. a. You may be a carrier and not know it, since the dominant allele masks the recessive.. CP Biology. Genetic Disorders. Major types of genetic disorders:. Autosomal. Single genes. Multiple genes. Sex-linked. Chromosome abnormalities. Autosomal Disorders. Autosomal genetic disorders . are caused by alleles on autosomes (chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes). ”. KEY CONCEPT . The chromosomes on which genes are located can affect the expression of traits. In chapter 6 you learned how some genetic traits depend on dominant and recessive alleles.. But…many factors affect phenotype, including the specific chromosome upon which a gene is located. . Most genes are carried on the ___________, ______ chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes. These disorders affect males and females ________ and are due to _____ mutations. Autosomal disorders can be divided into three groups based on the pattern of inheritance.. Polydactyly. Down Syndrome. Hemophelia. Progeria. Hypertrichosis. Sickle Cell Anaemia. INTRODUCTION. What is genetic diseases/disorders?. The human body is composed up of cells , each one specializing a particular function like sensing light, smelling . Christina Dailey, MS, CGC. Christina Dailey, MS, CGC . M Health Fairview.
