Genetic Disorders

Two alleles that are heterozygous, but both gene products mimic the wild type allele

Heterogeneous recessive alleles at a particular locus that can cause genetic disease in a heterozygous state

Where one recessive allele causes the mutation of another

Y chromosome genes most often effect sex organs

The Y chromosome damages genes for hormones more easily than any other gene

Females

Males

Both are effected equally

Some genes are selectively expressed from the maternal or paternal allele

Some genes are more dominant depending which parent it is expressed from

Maternal genes are more likely to cause disorders than paternal genes
