Parents of a newborn are confused when their child is diagnosed with a genetic disorder because neither of them has a defect. Testing is done and it is determined that both parents are carriers of the disorder even though they are asymptomatic. Understanding the principles of the Mendelian Pattern of Inheritance, the nurse determines what condition is
the likely reason for this genetic disorder? A. X-linked dominant condition B. Autosomal dominant condition C. X-linked recessive condition D. Autosomal recessive condition Correct Answer-D
If a disorder is _______________ , it means the affected person only needs to get the abnormal gene from one parent to inherit the disease. One of the parents has to have the disorder. These disorders involve altered genes on autosomes rather than the sex chromosomes X and Y. Both males and females have an equal chance of being affected. There is
a 50% chance of an affected child. A. Autosomal dominant B. Autosomal recessive C. X-linked recessive D. Multifactorial Correct Answer-A
What types of disorders are abnormalities that result from an abnormal sex chromosome? A. Autosomal dominant B. Autosomal recessive C. Multifactorial D. X-linked Correct Answer-D
