24
Q

What does genetic counseling do?

A

Genetic counselor help couples understand their chances of having a child with a particular disorder

25
What are the two major cause of a genetic disorder?
1. Mutations in DNA | 2. Changes in the number of chromosome
26
What chromosome is for cystic fibrosis?
Chromosome 7
27
What is the process of selecting organisms with desired traits to be the parents of the next generation.
Selective breeding
28
What is the crossing of two individuals that have similar characteristics
Inbreeding
29
What is the cross of two genetically different individuals
Hybridization
30
Organism that has exactly the same genes as the organism from which it is produced
Clone
31
Genes from one organism are transferred into the DNA of another
Genetic engineering
32
Inserting a copy of a gene directly into a person's cells to replace the copy of the gene causing a disease
Gene therapy
33
All the DNA in a cell
Genome
34
Which of these traits is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles?
Blood type
35
What is three or more forms of a gene that code for a single trait
Multiple alleles
36
Why does height in humans have such a wide variety of phenotypes?
Height is controlled by at least 4 genes
37
What factors can affect a person's height?
Both genes and environmental factors
38
Which combination of sex chromosomes results in a male human being
XY
39
Why are sex-linked traits more common in males than in females?
A recessive allele on the Y chromosome will always produce the trait in a male.

AB
41
Sex linked genes are genes on
The X and Y chromosomes
42
A carrier is a person who has
One recessive and one dominant allele for a trait
43
What must occur for a girl to be colorblind?

O-
48
What is the goal of the human genome project?
To identify the DNA sequence of every human genome
49
What are the 3 ways of producing organisms with desired traits?
Selective breeding, cloning, and genetic engineering
