Q

who had the first solid evidence associating a specific gene with a specific chromosome

A

thomas hunt morgan
–experimented with fruit flies provided convincing evidence that chromosomes are the location of mendel’s heritable factors

Q

what did morgan’s experiment deal with and how did he figure out it had to do with chromosomes?

A

Correlating Behavior of a Gene’s Alleles
with Behavior of a Chromosome Pair
• In one experiment, Morgan mated male flies with white eyes (mutant) with female flies with red eyes (wild type)
– The F1 generation all had red eyes
– The F2 generation showed the 3:1 red:white eye ratio, but only males had white eyes
• Morgan determined that the white-eyed mutant allele must be located on the X chromosome
• Morgan’s finding supported the chromosome

Q

dihybrid cross would have what ratio?

A

9:3:3:1

21
Q

genetic recombination

A

the production of offspring with combinations of traits differing from either parent

22
Q

parental types

A

offspring with a phenotype matching one of the parental phenotypes

23
Q

recombinant types or recombinants

A

offspring with nonparental phenotypes (new combinations of traits)

24
Q

crossing over was discovered by who?

A

thomas hunt morgan

25
Q

genetic map

A

an ordered list of the genetic loci along a particular chromosome

26
Q

the farther apart two genes are, the _____ the probability that a crossover will occur

A

higher

27
Q

linkage map

A

genetic map of chromosome based on recombination frequencies

28
Q

map units

A

represents a 1% recombination frequency

-indicate relative distance and order, not precise locations

29
Q

cytogenetic maps

A

indicate the positions of genes with respect to chromosomal features

30
Q

nondisjunction

A

pairs of homologous chromosomes do not separate normally during meiosis
-as a result one gamete receives two of the same type of chromosome, and another recieves no copy

31
Q

aneuploidy

A

results from the fertilization of gametes in which nondisjunction occured
-offspring with this condition have an abnormal number of a particular chromosome

32
Q

monosomic

A

zygote has only one copy of a particular chromosome

33
Q

trisomic

A

zygote has three copies of a particular chromosome

34
Q

polyploidy

A

condition in which an organism has more than two complete sets of chromosomes

35
Q

triploidy

A

three sets of chromosomes

36
Q

tetraploidy

A

four sets of chromosomes

37
Q

polyploidy is common in ___, not _____

A

plants, animals

38
Q

deletion

A

removes a chromosomal segment and that removed segment usually goes into another DNA

39
Q

duplication

A

repeats a segment within the DNA

40
Q

inversion

A

reverses orientation of a segment within a chromosome

41
Q

translocation

A

moves a segment from one chromosome to another

42
Q

an aneuploid condition that results from three copies of chromosome 21

A

down syndrome

43
Q

an extra chromosome in a male, producing XXY individuals
OR;
XYY (male but still fertile)

A

Klinefelter

44
Q

produces X0 females who are sterile …only known monosomy

A

monosomy x called Turner Syndrome

45
Q

results from a specific deletion in chromosome 5, a child born with this syndrome is mentally retarded and has a catlike cry, usually die early in life

A

Syndrome Cri du Chat

46
Q

genomic imprinting

A

the silencing of certain genes that are “stamped” with an imprint during gamete production.
If the allele inherited from the father is imprinted, it is thereby silenced, and only the allele from the mother is expressed.

47
Q

extranuclear genes

A

found in organelles in cytoplasm…Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and other plant plastids carry small circular DNA moleculess….extranuclear genes are inherited maternally because zygotes cytoplasm comes from the egg …mostly in plants
