Answer to Question #166351 in Ecology for Vishnu Ganta

Question

Can Mendelian Genetics be applied to explain all the inheritance of genetic disease reported in humans? Any exceptions.

Answer 1

Mendelian Genetics can be used to explain genetic diseases that are inherited by human beings. The mendelian genetics however does not apply to all genetically inherited conditions. An example is the Tay Sachs condition which involves inheritance of Gene alleles with incomplete dominance which cannot be explained by the mendelian genetics.
