21
Q

What are some characteristics controlled by

A

A single gene

22
Q

What is a dominant allele

A

Controls the development of a characteristics when it is present on only one of the chromosomes

23
Q

What is recessive allele

A

Controls the development of q characteristics only if the dominant allele is not present

24
Q

What is dna

A

Deoxyribonucleic acid- what chromosomes are made of in a double helix structure

25
Q

What is a gene

A

Small section of dna

26
Q

What is a gene code

A

A particular combination of amino acids which makes a specific protein

27
Q

Everyone has unique dna expect

A

Identical twins

28
Q

What is dna fingerprinting

A

Process to identify individuals, paternity test and forensic science

29
Q

What are some diseases

A

Inherited

30
Q

What is polydactyly

A

Extra fingers or toes caused by a dominant allele of gene and can only be passed by only one parent who has the disorder

31
Q

What is cystic fibrosis

A

A disorder of cell membrane

32
Q

How is cystic fibrosis inherited

A

Parents must be carriers or have the disease and caused by recessive allele

33
Q

What can happen to embryos to show the allele that causes genetic disorders

A

Screened

34
Q

What do genes do

A

They tell cells in what order to put amino acids together

35
Q

What does DNA fingerprinting do scientifically

A

Cuts up a persons DNA into small sections and then separating them

36
Q

What is mitosis

A

When a cell reproduces itself by splitting to form two identical offsprings

37
Q

Advantages of stem cells

A

Cure diseases

Eradicate diseases

38
Q

Disadvantages of stem cells

A

Embryos potential life

Curing patients are more important than embryos

39
Q

What do genetic diagrams show

A

The possible combinations of gametes

40
Q

What dis Mendel used

A

Pea plants

41
Q

What conclusions did Mendel came to

A

Characteristics in plants are determined by hereditary units

Hereditary are passed on from both parents and one unit from each parent

Dominant allele is shown

42
Q

What are alleles

A

Different versions of the same gene

43
Q

How many alleles do gametes have

A

1

44
Q

What so we call it when two alleles are the same

A

Homozygous

45
Q

What do we call two different alleles

A

Heterozygous

46
Q

What happens during ivf

A

Embryos are fertilised in a laboratory implanted into mothers womb

47
Q

Why is more than one egg fertilised in ivf

A

More chance to be successful

48
Q

How can cystic fibrosis be identified

A

IVF and embryo screening

49
Q

Advantages of embryo screening

A

Help people suffering

Laws to stop going far

Treating disorders is too expensive

50
Q

Disadvantages to embryo screening

A

Expensive

Could have been life if rejected

Desirable characteristics may be wanted
