Chromosomal Inheritance Flashcards
Chromosomes contain
- DNA
- Proteins
What does heating bacteria do?
Denature proteins
What does penetrance measure?
The fraction of people with the genotype who express the corresponding phenotype
What does expressivity measure?
The range of expression of a certain genotype
What does constant expressivity mean?
The genotype is expressed exactly the same way each time
Protein expression is controlled on a
Cell to cell basis
The higher the frequency, the
Further apart genes are on a chromosome
A single, double, or triple crossover refers to
The number of crossover events
Recombination takes place on which structure?
Synaptonemal complexes
Synaptonemal complexes form between
Two structures that will undergo genetic recombination
Synaptonemal complexes are made up of
Highly specialized proteins
A chromosomal mutation involves the
Loss or movement of entire segments of the genome
Chromosomal mutations result in
Reduced survival
Which mutation is the least likely to affect phenotype?
Missense
