Put simply; dominant or recessive. After that it gets complicated and wordy.

Genetic diseases can be classified based on the mode of inheritance (such as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked), the type of genetic alteration (such as point mutations, deletions, or insertions), the affected gene or chromosomal location, and the underlying molecular mechanisms that lead to disease. Additionally, genetic diseases can also be classified based on the specific organ systems or clinical symptoms they affect.

How does this project directly impact your understanding of genetic diseases?

This project has allowed me to gain hands-on experience in researching genetic diseases and analyzing genetic data, which has deepened my understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these diseases. By working closely with genetic data and studying how specific genetic variations contribute to disease development, I have gained valuable insights into the complexity and heterogeneity of genetic diseases. This firsthand experience has enhanced my ability to interpret genetic information and appreciate the challenges associated with diagnosing and treating genetic disorders.


Members of a population may be prone to inherited genetic diseases if?

Members of a population may be prone to inherited genetic diseases if they have parents who carry the genetic mutation responsible for the disease. Inherited genetic diseases are passed down through generations and can affect individuals who inherit the mutated gene from their parents.
