Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic disorders involve changes or mutations in the DNA sequences of genes, which can affect the function of proteins and lead to a range of phenotypic (observable) traits and conditions. Some genetic disorders are caused by changes in the number or arrangement of chromosomes, which can affect the inheritance and expression of genes. Gametes, or reproductive cells, contain half the number of chromosomes as other cells in the body and can be affected by genetic mutations or abnormalities. However, gamete disorders are not commonly referred to as a distinct category of genetic disorders.
