11.1 and 11.2 Flashcards
Three or more forms of a gene code for what?
A single trait
How many alleles does a single gene have
2 or multiple
A person can only carry two because
Chromosomes exist in pairs
Blood types are both _ and they dont_
Dominant
Hide each other
What blood type would you get if inherit both A and B
AB
What are traits controlled by?
Genes
Some human traits show a large number of phenotype a bc

Determines a persons gender and other traits
XX
Girl
XY
Boy
All egges carry one
X chromosome
_ of makes sperm cells carry and X chromosome and _ carry a Y chromosome
Half
Half
Where are sex linked genes found
On the X and Y chromosomes and their alleles are passed on these chromosomes
And X chromosome is
Larger than the Y chromosome and carry more genes
What is a carrier
A person who has one recessive allele or a trait and one dominant allele
A trait controlled by a recessive allele
Does not express the trait but can pass the trait but can pass the trait onto their offspring
Only _ can be carriers of sex linked traits
Females
Why can only females be carriers on sex linked traits?
Because they are the only one who can carry two alleles for a trait
What is an abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes
Genetic disorder
What are genetic disorders caused by?
Mutations in the genes or changes in overall structure or number of chromosomes
When genetic disorder is when your body produces abnormally thick mucus and lungs and intestines
Cystic fibrosis
What happens in Cystic Fibrosis
It makes it hard for the person to breathe
How do you inherit cystic fibrosis
You inherit two Mutated alleles, one from each parent
