Biochem Week 3 Flashcards
Where does meiosis produce and where does it occur
Haploid gametes in spermatozoa in males and ovum in females.
Meiosis: Prophase 1
Crossover recombination
Region where crossover occurs in prophase 1
Chiasma…Chromosomes associate like tetrodes
Tetrodes align along the midline(equator of the cell)
Metaphase 1
Random segregation of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles
Anaphase 1
1 copy of chromosomes w/ each 2 sister chromatids
Telophase and cytokinesis
Alignment of sister chromatids
metaphase ii
Separation of sister chromatids x2
anaphase ii
how many chromosomes are left for the haploid gametes
23
How does genetic diversity of gametes occur
Cross over between homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 and random segregation of homologous chromosomes in anaphase 2
Male gametogenesis results in ____ genetically distinct ____
four; spermatozoa
Results in formation of one ovum and ___ polar bodies
Oogeneis 3
23 pairs of chromosomes come together and form 46 chromosomes i.e 2n
fertilization
M Phases
PMAT
G1 phase
growth and normal metabolic roles
S phases
DNA replication
G2 Phase
Growth and preparation for mitosis
Sister chromatids are linked at the
centromere
Spindle fibers appear and chromosomes condense
Prophase
Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes
Prometaphase
Chromosomes align
metaphase
centromeres divides and sister chromatids move to opposite poles
anaphase
Nuclear membrane reforms and chromosomes decondense and spindle fibers dissipate
Telophase
Cytoplasm divides and parent cell becomes 2 daughter cells w/ identical genetic information
Cytokinesis

- Generations
- Identical Twins
2. Fraternal Twins
Traits the manifest due to inheritance of a single allele are known as
Dominate traits the dominate allele
Incomplete penetrance
Concept of absolute the individual has the allele and the either manifest ir or do not…. So they incompletely have allele but depends on gene if it will manifest or not
Variable expressivity
Range of possible outcomes some individuals with allele may have more severe manifestations than others. Spectrum
Familial hypercholesterolemia is an example of ____
Haploinsufficiency
The situation that occurs when one copy of a gene is inactivated or deleted and the remaining functional copy of the gene is not adequate to produce the needed gene product to preserve normal function.
haploinsufficiency… only one allele is active unable to compensate for the other half
Achondroplasia is an example of
Gain of function… Dwarfism… FGFR3 single and protein made to ossify
Achondroplasia occurs when
FGFR3 singles too early or too much which means the growth plate of long bones start to ossify to early and stop growing.
There will be complete showing of the mutation when the gene is present.
Fully Penetrant disorder… Compares to incomplete where there is a chance it may or not occur.
The presence of different variants at a single gene locus that cause the same or similar phenotypic expressions of a disease or condition.
allelic heterogeneity
Different genes can cause a similar presentation
locus heterogeneity
