Difference between Alzheimer's disease and Heredity

Alzheimer's disease vs. Heredity

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time. Heredity is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring, either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.

Similarities between Alzheimer's disease and Heredity

Alzheimer's disease and Heredity have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Allele, Autosome, Cell (biology), Classical antiquity, Dominance (genetics), Down syndrome, Gene, Genetics, Mitochondrion, Penetrance, Sex linkage.

Allele

An allele is a variant form of a given gene.

Autosome

An autosome is a chromosome that is not an allosome (a sex chromosome).

Cell (biology)

The cell (from Latin cella, meaning "small room") is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms.

Classical antiquity

Classical antiquity (also the classical era, classical period or classical age) is the period of cultural history between the 8th century BC and the 5th or 6th century AD centered on the Mediterranean Sea, comprising the interlocking civilizations of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, collectively known as the Greco-Roman world.

Dominance (genetics)

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.

Down syndrome

Down syndrome (DS or DNS), also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

Genetics

Genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.

Mitochondrion

The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms.

Penetrance

Penetrance in genetics is the proportion of individuals carrying a particular variant (or allele) of a gene (the genotype) that also express an associated trait (the phenotype).

Sex linkage

Sex linkage is the phenotypic expression of an allele related to the allosome (sex chromosome) of the individual.

Alzheimer's disease and Heredity Comparison

Alzheimer's disease has 410 relations, while Heredity has 111. As they have in common 11, the Jaccard index is 2.11% = 11 / (410 + 111).
