Q

Dominant Gene

A

Is a type of polymorphic gene that determines the development of a specific trait even if it is paired with a recessive gene. A recessive gene is a type of polymorphic gene that determines the development of a specific trait only when it is inherited from both parents.

Q

Fragile X Syndrom

A

An inherited developmental disability, is due to a defect in the X chromosome (the pinched end of the X chromosome). It can result in physical changes, such as a relatively large head with protruding ears, as well as mild to profound mental retardation.

Genetic Testing

A

Involves taking a sample from someone’s blood, hair, skin, or other body part and then examining the person’s genes to look for sign that he or she may be at risk for specific diseases or disorders.
