Blood banking Flashcards
Study of transmission of inherited characteristics
Genetics
Genes expressed in equal frequency in males and females
Autosomal genes
Genes carried on X chromosomes
Sex-linked genes
A segment of DNA arranged along the chromosome at a specific locus
Gene
Genes in a locus that differs in their nucleotide sequence
Alleles
2 or more possible alleles at a locus
Polymorphic
2 or more different genes that may occupy a specific locus on a chromosome
Allelic
Opposite form of a gene
Antithetical
Genes occur in pairs; one gene is passed from parent to the offspring
Medelian Genetics
Genes occurs in pairs; one gene is passed from parent to the offspring
Mendelian Genetics
Two members of a single gene pair is passed from one generation to the next in separate genes
Law of Independent Segregation
Traits inherited from different chromosomes expressed separately and discretely
Law of Independent Assortment
The inheritance of a blood group antigens can be predicted using a ___
Punnett square
Inherits identical alleles at the same gene locus from both parents
Homozygous
Inherits different alleles at the same gene locus from each parent
Heterozygous
Concentration of antigens
Dosage effect
Genes inherited on the same chromosome
Cis
Genes are inherited on separate chromosomes
Trans
Genes that are close together on a chromosome and inherited as one unit
Linkage genes
Set of genes inherited via one of the two parental gametes
Haplotypes
Genes that do not produce a detectable trait
