Single gene inheritance. Single gene inheritance, also called Mendelian or monogenetic inheritance. This type of inheritance is caused by changes or mutations that occur in the DNA sequence of a single gene. There are more than 6,000 known single-gene disorders, which occur in about 1 out of every 200 births.ome examples of monogenetic disorders include: 1  cystic fibrosis, 2  sickle cell anemia, 3  Marfan syndrome, 4  Huntington's disease, and. 5  hemochromatosis.
The secret is in the chemical composition of dry ice, which is carbon dioxide in solid form. At room temperature, carbon dioxide exists as a gasâthe very gas we exhale every time we breath. But this familiar compound has some unusual physical properties.
The density of dry ice varies, but usually ranges between about 1.4 and 1.6 g/cm 3 (87 and 100 lb/cu ft). The low temperature and direct sublimation to a gas makes dry ice an effective coolant, since it is colder than water ice and leaves no residue as it changes state.
