Q

Only _ can be carriers of sex linked traits

18
Q

Why can only females be carriers on sex linked traits?

A

Because they are the only one who can carry two alleles for a trait

19
Q

What is an abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes

A

Genetic disorder

20
Q

What are genetic disorders caused by?

A

Mutations in the genes or changes in overall structure or number of chromosomes

21
Q

When genetic disorder is when your body produces abnormally thick mucus and lungs and intestines

A

Cystic fibrosis

22
Q

What happens in Cystic Fibrosis

A

It makes it hard for the person to breathe

23
Q

How do you inherit cystic fibrosis

A

You inherit two Mutated alleles, one from each parent

24
What is sickle cell disease caused by
It is caused by mutations that affects hemoglobins which carry oxygen
25
What do red blood cells that have sickle shaped like?
Like crescent
26
Red blood cells that have sickle
Cannot carry as much oxygen and clog blood vessels
27
Sickle cell disease is
Codominant with a normal allele
28
S
Sickle cell
29
A
Normal
30
SA
Person has disease but has enough normal cells to get oxygen to body
31
SS
Person had disease
32
What is hemophilia?
Body does not produce enough of one of the proteins needed for normal blood clotting
33
What danger does hemophilia have
Internal bleeding from small bumps and bruises
34
What is hemophilia caused
by caused by recessive allele on X-chromosome
35
What does Hemophilia occur more in
Males because they only have to inherit one chromosome
36
What happens to cells in Down syndrome?
Every cell has a extra copy of chromosomes 21 ( 2 instead of 3)
37
What occurs in Down syndrome
Chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis
38
What happens to your body in Down syndrome
You have heart defects and a degree of mental retardation
39
What do doctors use to diagnose genetic disorders
Pedigrees, karyotypes and genetic testing to trace and diagnose genetic disorders
40
What are pedigrees
A chart Or family tree that tracks which family members have a particular trait
41
What is a Karyotyoe
a picture of all the chromosomes in a persons cell Arranged in pairs and reveals if a person has a correct number of Chromosomes
42
Does genetic counseling help do
It helps couples understand their chances of having a child with a particular genetic disorder
43
How do people deal with their genetic disorders
Medical treatment such as physical therapy
