Often times there are a combination of genetics between two people that can form a certain disorder of the gene in their children. A person with a chromosomal disorder‚ too few or too many chromosomes‚ can develop an intellectual disability.

Cystic Fibrosis: Description‚ signs and symptoms: Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder‚ which is acquired at conception and therefore present at birth. The disorder is entirely caused by one pair of genes. People with cystic fibrosis produce abnormally thick‚ stick mucus in the linings of internal organs such as the lungs and intestines. The most common signs are persistent coughing‚ excessive sweating leading to salty skin‚ huge appetite but poor weight gain‚ and pale‚ oily‚ very smelly faeces

genomic DNA. Large-scale mutations involve the deletion or gain of a portion of a chromosome. Genomic amplification occurs when a cell gains many copies (often 20 or more) of a small chromosomal locus‚ usually containing one or more oncogenes and adjacent genetic material. Translocation occurs when two separate chromosomal regions become abnormally fused‚ often at a characteristic location. A well-known example of this is the Philadelphia chromosome‚ or translocation of chromosomes 9 and 22‚ which occurs

There are 2 factors that could affect development: - Biological - such as genetic or chromosomal abnormalities or illness and disease. - Social - such as a child’s life experiences or exposure to harmful chemicals or parenting.

What is Klinefelter syndrome? Klinefelter syndrome is a chromosomal condition that affects male sexual development. Males with this condition typically have small testes that do not produce enough testosterone‚ which is the hormone that directs male sexual development before birth and during puberty. A shortage of testosterone during puberty can lead to breast enlargement (gynecomastia)‚ reduced facial and body hair‚ and an inability to father children (infertility). Older children and adults with

The law of probability says that each chance of probability is equal in the sense of the possible outcomes of the traits present. 4. Dominant masks the recessive which in situations where both trait alleles are present in a gene the organism would be heterozygous and the dominant allele
