chapter 3 Flashcards
autosomes
chromosomes other than sex chromosomes, 1-22
sex chromosomes
chomosomes of sex deterimination
dimorphic chromosomes
shape, gene content, and expression is different from autosomes
sex chroosomes act as ______ during meiosis
homologous chromosomes
recessive sex-linked mutations affect ______
heterogametic sex
different sexes have different __________ on sex linked loci
numbers of alleles
tops and bottoms of both X and Y chromosomes
pseudoautosomal region
pseudoautosomal regions
promote chromosome pairing and help control the final gametes
SRY gene
transcription factor that turns on development pathway for men
hemizygous
inheriting 1 chromosome for sex determination
heterogametic
males have 1 X and 1 Y, phenotype of single allele is immediatley observed
autosomal dominance
- can’t pass without it
- equal in males and females, passed on by both
- doesn’t skip generations
autosomal recessive
- usually rare
- equal in males and females, tends to skip gens
- affected usually born to unaffected parents
- can be caused by inbreeding
X linked recessive
- More males affected, daughters of affected males are carriers
- 1/2 sons of affected females are affected
X linked dominance
- both males and females affected, doesn’t skip gens
- Affected father passes to all daughters
- affected son must have affected mother
