B:6 Inheritance,Variation and Evolution Paper 2 Flashcards
Write a Definition of DNA and what’s is a DNA Molecule made up of and what do they make?
- DNA Is Deoxyribonucleic acid the molecules in cells that stored genetic information.
- a DNA Molecule is made up of 2 strands of DNA Collide together they make a double helix.
Where is DNA Found and Write a Definition of a Chromosome?
- DNA Is found in the nucleus of plants and animal cells.
- Its Found in really long structures called chromosomes.
- A Chromosome is a long molecule of DNA Found in the nucleus each chromosome carries many genes.
Write a Definition of a Gene and what does each gene contain and what do these amino acids form?
- A Gene is a small section of DNA Found on a chromosome.
- Each gene codes for a particular sequence of amino acids.
- These amino acids join up to make proteins.
Write a Definition of Genome
- A Genome is all of the genetics materials in an organism
What Have scientists Worked out?
- Scientist have worked out the whole human genome.
Name 3 Facts About Human genotypes That are really important for medicine?
- 1) Scientists can identify genes in the genotype associated with various diseases.
- 2) Understanding which genes are linked to inherited diseases can aid in developing better treatments.
- 3) By studying small differences in people’s genomes, scientists can trace the movement of populations.
Name The 2 pairs of the Human Genome and what do the symbol represent?
- 1) T (Thymine) A (Adenine) - (TA)
- 2) C (Cytosine) G (Guanine) - (CG)
What Colours represents Thymine and Adenine and what’s holding them together?
- Thymine is red.
- Adenine is green
- Base pairs are holding them together.
What Colors represent Cytosine and Guanine and what’s holding them together?
- Cytosine is Blue.
- Guanine is Yellow.
- Hydrogen bonds are holding them together.
Name the 2 Different types of Reproduction and 2 Different types cell cycles?
- 1) The 2 different types of Reproduction is Asexual and Sexual Reproduction.
- 2) The 2 Different cell cycle are mitosis and meiosis.
Write a Definition of Sexual Reproduction and write a Definition of Gametes?
- Sexual reproduction is when 2 gametes combine to produce a new inducivial that is genetic different.
- A Gametes is a sex cell eg egg cells or a sperm cell in animals.
In 6 Steps describe How sexual Reproduction works?
- 1) The mother and father produce gametes (reproductive cells).
- 2) Gametes are formed through meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half.
- 3) During reproduction, the mother’s egg and the father’s sperm fuse together.
- 4) This fusion creates a cell with a complete set of chromosomes, half from each parent.
- 5) The offspring inherits a combination of genes from both parents.
- 6) This genetic combination results in variation among offspring.
What are the 4 genetically different gametes produced during sexual reproduction called?
- They are called Haploid Cells.
Write a Definition of Asexual Reproduction and how does it work?
- Asexual Reproduction is when organisms reproduce by mitosis to produce.
- One parent cell makes a new cell by dividing itself there is no mixing gense or fusion.
- Each cell is a cloned and exactly the same.
Which cell division is mitosis and which cell division is meiosis?
- Mitosis is body cell division.
- And Miosis is Sex cell division.
Why does Mitosis happen and write a Definition of a Zygote?
- Mitosis Happens because our body needs growth and repair.
- A Zygote is a Embryo at the very start.
In 4 Steps how does mitosis work?
- 1) All 46 Chromosomes duplicate so it Becomes 92 chromosomes.
- 2) The chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
- 3) The Chromosomes divide in half,
- 4) 2 Identical Cells each with 46 chromosomes are made.
In 5 Steps how does Meiosis work?
- 1) All 46 chromosomes duplicate
- 2) the genes shuffle on the chromosomes.
- 3) The chromosomes divide in half so they have 46 chromosomes each.
- 4) The chromosomes divide in half again.
- 5) 4 new non-identical cells each with 23 chromosomes.
Name 4 Differences of Sexual Reproduction?
- 1) Involves 2 parents.
- 2) Takes more energy and time.
- 3) Meiosis happens.
- 4) The copies aren’t identical.
Name 4 Differences Of Asexual reproduction?
- 1) Involves 1 parent.
- 2) Takes less energy and time.
- 3) Mitosis happens.
- 4) Copies are Identical.
Name 2 Similarities between asexual and sexual reproduction?
- 1) Creates a new Organism.
- 2) DNA Has to duplicate itself.
Write a Definition of Fertilisation?
- Fertilisation is the fusion of a male and female gamete during sexual reproduction.
How many pairs of chromosomes are in every body cell and what do the 22 pairs do?
- There are 23 Pairs of chromosomes in every human body cell.
- 22 are matched pairs of chromosomes that just control your characteristics.
- The 23rd pair its labelled XY Or XX
What labeled on the 23rd Pair and what do they decide?
- The 23rd Pair is labeled XX or XY.
- They are 2 chromosomes that deice your sex.
What’s Chromosome Are for males and what’s the chromosomes for females?
- For Males its XY.
- And for females Its XX.
What other than genes determine what we look?
- The Environmental Also Choose what we look like.
Write a Definition of a Allele?
- An Allele is a Version of a Gene.
Write a Definition of Dominant Allele and Recessive allele?
- A Dominant Allele is a gene that is always expressed if present.
- A Recessive Allele is a gene that is only expressed if there are 2 copies of it.
Write a Definition of a Phenotype and Genotype?
- Phenotype is The Physical Characteristics caused by your genes.
- Genotype is the Specific genes that are in your genome.
Write a Definition of Homozygous and Heterozygous?
- Homozygous is having 2 copies of the same allele.
- Heterozygous is Having 2 copies of different alleles.
How do we Find the Probability of Getting a boy or girl?
- We would use a Punnet square.
In 4 Steps How do Work Out the Probability the baby Characteristics?
- 1) First Use a Capital For Dominant allele then use a Lower case letter for Recessive Allele but The capital and lowercase shouldn’t look the same.
- 2) Then Choose Which One the Parent Should Have.
- 3) Then Put each of the parents letters on the top or the side.
- 4) Lastly Put Join the Letter together and then you can see the probability of the Baby’s Characteristics but the Capital Letter must be before the Lowercase Letter.
What controls most Characteristics?
- Most Characteristics are controlled by several genes.
Write a Definition of an Inherited Disorder and Family Tree?
- Inherited Disorder is a Disorder caused by a faulty allele which can be passed on to individual offspring.
- Family Tree is a Diagram that shows how a characteristic is Inherited in a group of related people.
Write a Definition of Cystic Fibrosis and What Happens if you have one copy of it and what are they know as?
- Cystic Fibrosis Is an Inherited Disorder of the cell membranes caused by a recessive allele.
- Because Cystic Fibrosis is Recessive people with 1 copy of the allele won’t have the disorder.
- They are known as carriers.
Name 5 Symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis?
- 1) Serve coughs
- 2) Shortness of Breath
- 3) Difficulty gaining weight
- 4) Sticky and Thick Mucus.
- 5) High fat diet
Name 4 Daily Treatments of Cystic Fibrosis
- 1) Lots of Antibiotics to fight infections in the lungs.
- 2) Enzymes Capsules to eat with food.
- 3) Physiotherapy to help shift the mucus that builds up in the organs.
- 4) More drugs to thin the sticky mucus
Write a Definition of Polydactyly and how do you inherit it?
- Polydactyly is an Inherited Diseases caused by a dominant allele where a person has extra fingers or toes.
- Polydactyly can be inherited if just 1 parent carries the Faulty Allele.
- The Parent that has the Faulty allele will have the disorder too since the allele is dominant.
Write a Definition of a Family tree?
- A Family Tree is a diagram that shows how a characteristic is inherited in a group of related people.
Write a Definition of Screening?
- Screening is the process of checking someone’s genes to see if they have or might pass on a particular genetic condition.
