~nerd~ Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 How can I explain the genetic basis of a disorder that occurs with equal frequency among chicks and dudes and that doesn't follow basic patterns of Mendel inheritance?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yggdrasil Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 What patterns does it follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZoidberg Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 An autosomal-linked disorder (if rule out sex chromosome linkage due to 1:1 sex ratio) following non-Mendelian inheritance patterns. Again for more detail what inheritance pattern does this disorder follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenoise Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 How about a mitochondrial dissorder. That fits really well. Non mendelian inheritance and equal frequency between the sexes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I believe trisomy would explain it, but it would be less likely. see trisomy 21, a cause of down's syndrome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
