Get the answer of: Is Baldness an Example of Sex-Linked Genes? No, baldness is not an example of sex- linked genes. But it is an example of sex- influenced genes. It may occur in some cases, due to disease or other environmental factors, but is of generally a hereditary character, which is more prevalent in men, than in women. Studies [...]
In this article we will discuss about the examples of pedigree pattern of autosomal and sex chromosomal genetic diseases. 1. Pedigree pattern of an autosomal dominant trait. Note the vertical pattern of inheritance. Solid squares and circles indicating the affected males and females while hollow squares and circles are unaffected males and females. 2. Pedigree patterns of an autosomal recessive [...]
Let us make an in-depth study of the molecular genetic based approaches for the treatment of diseases. Principles of Molecular Genetic-Based Approaches to the Treatment of Diseases: Once a human disease gene has been characterized, molecular genetic tools can be used to dissect gene function and explore the biological processes involved in the normal and pathogenic states. The resulting information [...]
