Phenylketonuria (PKU) is caused by a mutation in the PAH gene located on chromosome 12. This gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase, which is essential for breaking down the amino acid phenylalanine. Mutations in this gene can lead to the accumulation of phenylalanine in the blood, resulting in the symptoms of PKU.
The chromosome carried only by the sperm is called the Y chromosome, which determines the male gender when combined with the X chromosome from the egg during fertilization.
Genes that are located on the same chromosome are called linked genes. These genes tend to be inherited together during cell division because they are physically close to each other on the same chromosome.
Meckel Syndrome (type 1)is an autosomal recessive trait carried on chromosome 17.
according to the chromosome theory of inheritance,genes are carried from parents to their offspring on chromosomes.
on the X chromosome
12 th chromosome
Down syndrome is caused by an additional chromosome while PKU is due to a mutation or defect in a gene.
PKU is described as an inherited, autosomal recessive disorder.
The chromosome carried only by the sperm is called the Y chromosome, which determines the male gender when combined with the X chromosome from the egg during fertilization.
The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, which is an autosome, not a sex chromosome.
