successfully code for the proper production of a functional protein that is vital for life. Recessive lethal alleles are mutations that are only lethal to homozygotic individuals with two copies of the mutated allele (Castle‚ 1910) . In humans cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia are two examples of recessive lethal alleles. A dominant lethal allele is a mutation that is lethal to any individual that has one or two copies of the allele. Huntington’s disease is an example of a dominant lethal allele

are caused by an abnormality in a person’s genome or genetic material. It is a disease that is passed down through several generations within the same family and is transmitted from a parent to their child. An example of a hereditary disease is cystic fibrosis. Hereditary diseases are more frequent in males.

introduction Non-infectious diseases (also called Non-communicable diseases) are those diseases that are not caused by a pathogen and cannot be shared from one person to another. Disease caused by these organisms are infectious diseases. There are many kinds of non-infectious diseases. Non-infectious diseases may be caused by either the environment‚ nutritional deficiencies‚ lifestyle choices‚ or genetic inheritances. Unlike infectious diseases‚ non-infectious diseases are not communicable

The discovery of DNA is attributed to the research of three scientists in 1951; Francis Crick‚ Maurice Wilkins‚ and James Dewey Watson. They were all later accredited with the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in 1962. Thanks to their discovery‚ science has been able to research and learn from DNA blueprints and use recombinant DNA technology to discover answers‚ vaccines and build immunity for many viruses. In recent years science has been using this new technology to genetically modify animals

If a male with no freckles mates with a female who is heterozygous for freckles‚ what is the probability of their child having freckles? 3 Cystic fibrosis is transmitted by recessive inheritance.

1. Explain the difference between signs and symptoms and give one example of each. A sign is an abnormal‚ objective finding‚ by the patient and can be found by physical examination. A symptom is a negative characteristic and can be described subjectively by the patient. An example of a sign would be a painless tumor‚ and an example of a symptom would be pain in the part of the body experienced by the patient. 2.
