Q

5 differences between monozygotic and dizygotic twins

A

Monozygotic twins are split from one cell and form from one egg and one sperm, they result in identical twins, they do not run in families, called identical twins, they have identical DNA. Dizygotic twins form from 2 eggs and are fertilized by 2 different sperm, they result in fraternal twins, they do run in families on the mothers side, called fraternal twins, they have different DNA

Q

how do triplets form

A

3 separate individual eggs are fertilized by 3 separate individual sperm. 2 eggs come out of one ovary and 1 egg out the other. Or one egg splits into 3, then they’re all fraternal twins.

24
Q

Explain what maple syrup urine disease is. Explain how autosomal recessive disorders work

A

If both parents are heterozygous or have the recessive gene for the disorder, then there is a 25% chance of their child to have the disorder, 25% chance for their child to not have it, 50% chance for children to be a carrier. Found in amish and mennonites population and is very common for them

25
Q

what is meiosis

A

Process of reproduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell. A reduction division in the number of chromosomes in a diploid cells

26
Q

end result of meiosis 1

A

The separation of homologous chromosomes, halpoid with 2 cells

27
Q

end result of meiosis 2

A

The separation of sister chromatids, with 4 cells and all still haploid

28
Q

is og parent cell haploid or diploid in mitosis and meiosis

A

mitosis-diploid, meiosis-diploid

29
Q

how many daughter cells produced in meiosis and mitosis

A

mitosis-2, meiosis-4 sperm cells and 1 egg cell

30
Q

are daughter cells haploid or diploid in meiosis and mitosis

A

mitosis-diploid, meiosis-haploid

31
Q

are daughter cells identical to parent cells in meiosis and mitosis

A

mitosis-yes, meiosis-no

32
Q

are the daughter cells identical to each other in mitosis and meiosis

A

mitosis-yes, meiosis-no

33
Q

what type of cells does this occur in for mitosis and meiosis

A

mitosis-somatic cells(body cells), meiosis- sex cells

34
Q

how often does mitosis and meiosis occur

A

mitosis- depends on type of cell, meiosis- male(every few hours make sperm), female(every 28 days make eggs)

35
Q

how many viable sperm created during meiosis

A

4 viable sperm

36
Q

how many viable eggs created during meiosis

A

1 egg

37
Q

What are polar bodies? How many polar bodies during female meiosis

A

3 polar bodies, eggs that are made along the side of the original egg but it isn’t able to be fertilized and are empty egg cells.

38
Q

what is gametogenesis

A

formation of gametes(sex cells)

39
Q

What is oogenesis and Spermatogenesis

A

oogenesis-formation of female gametes(eggs) spermatogenesis- formation of male gametes(sperm)

40
Q

Explain how the egg cell in a female and a sperm cell in the male develop prior to the child’s birth

A

Female- born with all the eggs they’ll ever have. starts meiosis then halts at prophase. And stays dormant until puberty Male- starts meiosis then halts at prophase

41
Q

Explain what happens to the egg and sperm once the child reaches puberty

A

Female- every 28 days an oocyte(egg) is released from ovary and continues meiosis, halts at metaphase 2 and waits for fertilization, if it doesn’t get fertilized it’s done. Male- continues meiosis and finishes it.

42
Q

who is the father of genetics and what plant did he study

A

Gregor Mendel, pea plants

43
Q

How did Mendel set up his experiment, starting with the Pt generation to the F2 generation

A

In the p generation he let them self breed then they were all pure breeds. He first started off by cross pollinating 2 true breeding plants in the F1 generation. Then after seeing that one trait that didn’t come through in the F1 plants he decided to let the F2 generation self breed to see if the trait would come back.

44
Q

what does true-breeding mean

A

self pollinating

45
Q

Summarize Mendel’s principles

A

Parents pass traits to offspring in the form of genes, genes are dominant or recessive, genes have different varieties of alleles.

46
Q

List the steps to solving dihybrid story problems

A

determine parents, foil to find combination of gametes, then put into punnett square, then answer the question

47
Q

what are the 4 blood types

A

A, B, AB, O

48
Q

The type of antigen (protein) present for blood types

A

A: a antigen, B: b antigen, AB: both a and b, O: has none

49
Q

Possible genotypes for blood types

A

A: IA, IAi, B: IB IBi, AB: IAIB, O: ii

50
Q

What type they can donate blood to

A

A- A, AB; B- B, AB; AB: AB; O: all

51
Q

What type they can receive blood from in blood types

A

A- A, O; B: B, O; AB: all, O: O

52
Q

Antibodies found in blood types

A

A: b antibodies; B: a antibodies; AB: no antibodies; O: a and b antibodies

53
Q

What is the rH factor? Why is it important during pregnancy?

A

A protein that decides if the blood type is positive or not. If a mom with no rH factor has a kid with Rh factor then it can cause the mom to get sick. The first pregnancy will be fine until the birth of the child. And as the mom continues to have kids the mom could get sick and kill the baby

54
Q

universal donor, why

A

o-, because it doesn’t have anything that other bloodtypes haven’t already seen. And it doesn’t have any antigens at all

55
Q

universal recipient, why

A

AB+, Because there is nothing that this blood type hasn seen in terms of A and B anitbodies and rH protein. And has all the antigens and won’t be making any antibodies

56
Q

most and least common blood type

A

least: AB-, most: O+

57
Q

Name two pros of CRISPR. Name two cons of CRISPR

A

Pros- can help get rid of hereditary diseases, is cost efficient, is helpful with protecting crops from problems. Cons- is very new and has little research, has problems in the process because the process is very difficult and one little thing could go wrong, people could misuse the technology and try to physically/mentally advance themselves
