mother-yes

Why don't males have Barr bodies

their single x chromosome is still active

Inheritance patterns in humans: What does this mean and give an example: Codominance and multiple alleles

there is more than 2 alleles for a particular trait and 2 can both be expressed because on might not be completely domiant over another. **The blood group (ABO) trait is determined by a gene with 3 alleles- IA, AB, and i. The alleles IA and IB are codominant so both of alleles can be expressed

The Icelandic people have always placed high importance on knowing about their ancestors. In fact 80% of all the Icelandic people who have ever lived can be added to a family tree. Medical records are just as detailed. the population is quite isolated, so the gene pool is considered to be homogeneous. Why would these conditions make the genome of the Icelandic population ideal for studying rare inherited disorders associated with gene sequencing errors

these conditions would make the genome of the Icelandic population ideal for studying rare inherited disorders associated with gene sequencing errors because the genomes of the people are similar or pretty much the same. Therefore, it is easier to find base pairs or DNA sequences for disorders because they would stick out. Also, scientists would be able to keep track of who had and didn't have certain disorders because the Icelandic people are aware of their ancestors and medical records

In karyotypes how are the chromosomes that make up each numbered pair similar

they have similar shapes and sizes (some may also carry the same genes, but not necessarily same alleles)

Why are the sex chromosomes considered homologous, even thought they vary in size and appearance

Because one sex chromosome was inherited from one parent, and the other was inherited from the other parent

Inheritance patterns in humans: What does this mean and give an example: Sex-linkage

Certain genes are located on certain sex chromosomes making certain traits more common in males vs females or vice versa. Genes found on the Y chromosome are only found and expressed in males. Recessive alleles for genes of x chromosomes are more common among males. **Three genes for color vision are all located on the x chromosome. Colorblindess is a recessive trait so 2 recessive alleles be present in 2 copies on each of the x chromosomes to be expressed in females. In males a defective alleles for any of the genes results in colorblindess because it only has 1 x chromosome and 1 allele for the gene; more common in males than females

Explain why the father of a girl who is colorblind must also be colorblind

Colorblindess is a recessive trait and the color vision gene is located on the x chromsome. 2 recessive alleles have to be present in order for the individual to possess that trait. Males only need one because their other chromosome is a Y that doesn't contain any genes for color vision. Females have 2 X chromosomes one from each parent. You need two recessive alleles so she inherited an allele for colorblindess from both parents. Since males only need 1 recessive allele to be colorblind and the girl recieved one from the father, he must also be colorblind

Steps to explain how genetic disorders have a molecular basis: 1) A gene's _______ sequence changes 2) The ____________ _________sequence that alters a protein changes 3) A change in ________ results

DNA amino acid phenotype

-______________ ____________, most often a result of three copies of chromosome 21 -___________ syndrome, a female with a single X chromosome -__________ syndrome, a male with an extra X chromosome

Down sydrome turner's Klinefelter's

What is the tool or technique used and the outcome for: Reading DNA

Dye-labeled nucleotides are used to make a complementary strand of DNA. Each time a labeled nucleotide is added to the strand, DNA replication stops. Because each base was labeled with a different color, the results is color-coded DNA fragments of different lengths. when gel electrophoresis is used to separate the fragments, scientists can read the DNA sequence directly from the gel -color-coded DNA fragments of different lengths and they're then separated and the order of colored bands on the gels tells the exact sequence of boxes in the DNA

Is a cat with two colors of spots more likely to be male or female

Female; the gene that controls the color of coat spots is located on the X chromosome. In male cats with just one x chromosome they can have spots of only one color. Females can have an allele for orange spots on one x chromosome and an allele for black spots on another. In cells in certain parts of the body, some x chromosome can be switched off. These switches of on and off on the x chromosome can result in orange and black spots

What is the tool or technique used and the outcome for: Separating DNA

Gel electrophores is used. The DNA fragments are put into wells on a gel. An electric voltage moves them across the gel. Shorter fragments move faster than long fragments. within and hour, or 2, the fragments all separate, each appearing as a band on a gel. -long and short DNA fragments separate into bands on gel (based on size)

___________ ________________ separates different sized DNA fragments by placing them at one end of a porous gel, then applying an electric voltage. The electric charge moves the DNA. Using ______-________________ nucleotides, scientists can stop replication at any point along a sing DNA strand. The fragments can then be separated by size using gel electrophoresis and "read:, _______ by _________

Gel electrophoresis dye-labeled base by base

How might the allele that causes a disease stay in the population if it is fatal to those who have the disease

It makes the heterozygote resistant to a fatal disease

Most of the genetic disorders you have learned about are the results of a change in DNA sequence, as with cystic fibrosis, or the presence of an extra chromosome, as with Klinefelter's syndrome. The exception is Turner's syndrome. Women with turner's syndrome only have 45 chromosomes. They are missing an X chromosome. This disorder is the only case in which a person can survive with one less chromosome. What does this tell you about how genetic information is inherited in humans

It tells me that humans can't survive without having at least 1 X chromosome. That means that most of our genetic information is probably carried by the x chromosome

If malaria were eliminated from a certain area, how do you think the frequency of the sickle cell allele in that area would change

It would decrease because people who are heterozygous for sickle cell disease would have an allele that wouldn't be beneficial anymore

What causes some human genetic disorders

Nondisjunction, the failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis, can cause human genetic disorders

What two kinds of enzymes are used in sequencing DNA and what does each enzyme do in the process

Restriction enzymes:cut even the longest DNA molecule into precise pieces called restriction fragments, that are several hundred bases in length. Each restriction enzymes cuts DNA at a different sequence of nucleotides DNA Polymerase: is an enzyme that copied DNA. Single stranded DNA fragments are placed in a test tube containing DNA polymerase. DNA polymerase uses the unknown strand as a template to make one new strand of DNA after another

Why is it helpful to sequence many human genomes, instead of just one

Scientists can find how the human genome varies

Why might it be incorrect to assume that if one chromosome is larger than another the larger chromosome has more genes

Some chromosomes are larger than others because they might have larger stretches of repeating DNA. The smaller chromosome can have more densely packed genes. The repeating DNA in the larger chromsomes doesn't code for proteins, so it doesn't contain genes. In this instance the smaller chromosome would actually have more genes than the larger chromsome

Why does a female with one h allele have normal blood clotting but a male with one h allele has hemophilia

The female still inherited the domiant allele H for normal blood clotting on the other x chromosome. the male with the one h allele has hemophilia because it only has 1 x chromosome and a Y. there is no gene for hemophilia on the y chromosome so the recessive trait is expressed

Why are individuals who are heterozygous for the cystic fibrosis allele unaffected by the disease

The make enough of a particular protein to allow their cells to work properly

How does studying the human genome help us draw conclusions about the inheritance of traits

There are different patterns of inheritance including a pattern of simple dominance, codominance, and multiple alleles, and sex linkage. Also, pedigrees help to learn about patterns of inheritance

Compare and contrast Turner's and Klinefelter's syndrome

Turner's-only occurs in females; individual inherites only 1 X chromosome Klinefelter's-only occurs in males; individual inherites an extra x chromosome Both-results of nondisjunction; individual who has syndrom are unable to reproduce

How do we study the human genome and what have we learned so far

Using tools that cut, separate, and then replicate DNA base by base, scientists can now read the base sequences in DNA from any cell

Inheritance patterns in humans: What does this mean and give an example: Simple Dominance

When at least dominant allele is present the individual expresses the dominant trait for the phenotype. When the individual has 2 recessive alleles the recessive trait is expressed in the phenotype. **The Rh group: when at least 1 Rh+ allele is present the individual has Rh+ blood because its dominant. When 2 Rh- alleles are present the individual will have Rh- because it has 2 recessive alleles
