23 Paris

A typical human cells contains 46 chromosomes in how many pairs

3 billion bases

At how many bases, the human haploid genome is larger than the genome of many other organisms

Sex-linkage

Because the X and Y chromosomes determine sex, the genes located on them show a pattern of inheritance called

Changes in what can change proteins by altering their amino acid sequences, which may directly affect a persons phenotype

Pedigree

Chart that shows the presence or absence of a trait according to the relationship within a family across several generations

Autosome

Chromosome that is not a sex chromosomes ;also called autosomal chromosome

Autosomal chromosomes

Chromosomes that is not a sex chromosomes. Chromosomes 1-22. 44 chromosomes.

Three bases

Cystic fibrosis usually results from the deletion of how many bases in the gene for a protein called cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.CFTR normally allows chloride ions to pass across cell membranes. The loss of these bases removes a single amino acid-phenylalanine- from CFTR, causing the protein to fold improperly. Caused by a recessive allele. Symptoms are digestive problems and heavy mucus that clots their lungs and breathing passageways. Need breathing treatment

Sex-linked diseases

Disorders that are passed down through families through one of the X or Y chromosomes

Restriction enzyme

Enzyme that cuts DNA at a sequence of nucleotides

Nondisjunction

Error in meiosis in which the homologous chromosomes fail to separate properly

X chromosomes

Females have two copies of what, and males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome

A male will have an X and Y chromosomes, making their side read 46, XY. A female contains two X's chromosomes, making their code read 46, XX. A Y chromosome is smaller than a X chromosome, so it will look like a big and little x. An X chromosome contains around 1400 genes and an Y chromosome contains about 158 genes, which is associated with male sex determination/sperm development.

How can you tell the difference between male and female bey observing their karyotype

Restriction enzymes can cut at specific sites. They precisely cut DNA molecules into smaller pieces, several hundred bases in length. Bacteria use restriction enzymes to cut and inactivate the DNA of bacteriophage. A restriction enzyme is like a key that fits only one lock. The overhangs are called "stick ends" because they can bond or "stick" to a DNA fragment with the complementary base sequence.

How do restriction enzymes work and what do they cause

DNA is placed inside of the wells and the other end is positively charged because DNA has a negative charge so it will move to that end. The short and smaller pieces of DNA will move the fastest/farther East. The longer and bigger pieces will move slower/shorter. It does this because the gel has pores, which makes it harder for the DNA to get through

How does gel electrophoresis work

Huntingtons disease is caused by a what. The allele for this disease contains a long string of bases in which the codon CAG coding for glutamine repeats over and over, more than 40 times. The system primos are mental deterioration and uncontrollable movements. The greater the number of codon repeats, the earlier the disease appears, and the more sever its symptoms are.

Gametes

If nondisjunction occurs during meiosis, what with an abnormal number of chromosomes may result, leading to a disorder of chromosome numbers

1200 bases

If you were to compare the genomes of two unrelated individuals, you would find that most-built not all-of their DNA will match base for base with each other. On average, about one base in how many will not match between two individuals. Biologists call these single base differences single nucleotide polymorphism called SNPs. Some of these are associated with certain traits, including the susceptibility to particular to diseases or medical conditions. This enables physicians to tailor or medical treatments to a patient

Two copies

In order for a recessive allele to be expressed in females, it must be present in how many copies, one on each X chromosome. This means that the recessive phenotype of a sex linked genetic disorder tends to be much more common amoung males than among females.

Procedure used to separate and analyze DNA fragments by placing a mixture of DNA fragments at one end of a porous gel and applying an electrical voltage to the gel

Genomic imprinting

Process in which epigenetic chemical marks can be passed from one generation to the next in a sex specific way. Some genes that are only expressed if they came from a male parents tand there are some genes that are only expressed if they came from a female parent. Nearly 100 genes in humans are imprinted in this way

Genomic imprinting

100,000 billion bases per year

Sequencing has been improved and automated over the decades, becoming faster, less expensive, and more accurate. Tasks that once took a person a year to do can now be done in a matter of hours. Some labs sequence well over how many bases per year, with hundreds of DNA fragments being sequenced simultaneously.

Karyotype

Shows the complete diploid set of chromosomes grouped together in pairs, arranged in order of decreasing size

Pedigree

Shows the presence or absence of a trait according to the relationships among parents, siblings, and offspring

Recessive allele/ defective allele for beta-globin

Sickle cells disease is heredity are and is caused by a what. The hemoglobin is not normal, which is the oxygen carrying protein in the red blood cell. It is caused by a what, which makes the defective polypeptide male hemoglobin less soluble, causing hemoglobin molecules to stick together when the blood's oxygen levels decrease. Hemoglobin tends to clump together into king fibers that push against the membranes of red blood cells and distort their shape. The shape is more rigid than normal, so they tend to get stuck together in capillaries. This causes damage to cells, tissue, and organs

Process of reading DNA

Single stranded DNA fragments are placed in a test tube containing DNA polymerase along with four nucleotide bases. As the enzyme foes to work, it uses the unknown strand as a template to make a one new strand after another. Scientist also add a small number of bases that have a chemical dye attached. Each time a dye labeled base us added to a new DNA, the synthesis of that strand stops. When DNA synthesis is completed, the results is a series of color coded DNA fragments of different lengths. Researchers can then separate these frágüeme net soften by gel electrophoresis. The order of colored beads on the gel tells the exact sequence of bases in DNA

What are some examples of autosomal disorders

Color blindness, hemophilia, Menkes Disease, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy

What are some examples of sex-linked diseases

The Human Genome Project finished the first complete human DNA sequence. They wanted to sequence the entire human genome. We learned that human cells contain about 20,000 genes, which is not a large number compared to the cells of other species. We are unsure of the functions of more than 25 percent of our genes. Because of this, now we can start to tell our genetic codes and look for any risk factors for certain diseases or genetic disorders. This can be a good thing because we can get a warning or tell if someone has a disease or disorder. The bad thing is that it can be used against people to. If a insurance company or a job can tell that you are at higher risk for something , they can cause you to pay higher insurance or not get a job because you could cost them a lot of money. Also we can figure out our relationships with other people

What are the goals and what have we learned from the human genome project and how does it relate to everyday life

RH+ and RH- are both forms of an RH blood type. RH+ is dominant, so if they have at least one copy, they will have RH+. RH- is recessive, so they have to have both copies of it to have RH-. The ABO blood group is codominant/ multiple allele. The three possible alleles are IA, IB, and i. IA and IB are codominant, but are dominant over i. If IA and IB will form AB. IA= A blood, IB= B, and two copies of i= O blood

What cana we get for blood type from genotype information

Open square= male and no trait Shaded square= male and trait Open circle= female and no trait Shaded circle= female and trait

What do the symbols mean in a pedigree

Sex linked traits are found on the sex chromosomes, unlike other genetic disorders that are found on the autosomal chromosomes. Genes on the Y chromosome are found only in males, Genes found on the X chromosome are found in both genders, This causes alleles found on the X chromosome are more lonely to cause problems in men because they don't have another X chromosome to cover out unlike females do. Example: colorblindness

What is the difference of sex-linked traits demo other genetic disorders

Half of the sperm has a Y chromosome and the other half has an X chromosome, so there is a 50% chance of having a male and a 50% chance of having a female

What is the probability of having a male or a female

We can see genetic disorders, like extra chromosomes, the size, shape, and gender of the person from the Karyotype

What types of information can a Karyotype give

Mitosis
