Describe the differences between autosomal dominant disorders and autosomal recessive disorders
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: In autosomal recessive disorders, expression of the disease occurs only when that particular allele is inherited from each parent, making the person homozygous for that trait. In autosomal dominant disorders, the defective allele is usually transmitted by a parent who is heterozygous for the trait. The disease will appear in every generation of the family.
