a.

Summary Introduction

To explain: Two diseases that are inherited in the autosomal dominant fashion.

Introduction: A disease can be inherited in either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive fashion. The autosomal dominant trait shows the expression in both homozygous dominant (AA) and heterozygous (Aa) conditions. However, the autosomal recessive trait expresses itself only in the homozygous recessive (aa) condition.

Summary Introduction

To explain:  Two diseases that are inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.

Introduction: A disease can be inherited in either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive fashion. The autosomal recessive trait expresses itself only in the homozygous recessive (aa) condition.

Explain why loss-of-function alleles often follow a recessivepattern of inheritance.
Consider an autosomal recessive disease in which an individual must inherit two recessive alleles to display the disease phenotype. What is the probability that a woman who is a heterozygous for the trait and a man who is homozygous for the dominant allele will produce an offspring with the autosomal recessive phenotype? Assume no new mutations occur. Select one    1.) 100% 2.)25% 3.) 0% 4.)50% 5.) More information is needed
While studying of the family tree with history of hypertrichosis (hyper hirsutism of the ear) this sign was founded only in the men and it was inherited from father to the son. Define the type of hypertrichosis inheritance? Select one: a. Y-linked b. Autosomal-recessive O c. Autosomal-dominant d. Recessive, X-linked e. Dominant, X-linked
