Describe how disorders or defects can be passed down genetically to a child
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Children inherit two copies of every chromosome (one from the father and one from the mother) and gene. If either parent has any genetic defects, at least some of it will pass along to the child. Whether or not the child actually develops the trait depends on what combination of genes the child receives and whether or not the gene is dominant or recessive.
