Q

Why are origins of non-disjunction maternal?

A

Females developing ova as developing babies and when they are born they have all their eggs
Arrested at meiosis I
Longer period of arrest = abnormalities

Insertions
Inversions
20
Q

Outcomes of Balanced Translocation

A

Normal
Balanced
Partial trisomy + partial monosomy

21
Q

Reciprocal Translocation

A

Involving breaks in 2 chromosomes with formation of two new derivative chromosomes

22
Q

Robertsonian Translocation

A

Fusion of two acrocentric chromosomes

Loss of short arms

23
Q

Outcomes of Robertsonian Translocation

A

Trisomony (chromosome)

Monosomy (chromsome)

24
Q

Deletions

A

Interstitial

Terminal

25
Q

Inversions

A

Paracentric

Pericentric

26
Q

Pericentric

A

Piece involves Centromere

27
Q

Genetic

A

Germ line or Somatic

Non-coding or Coding

28
Q

Coding

A

Silent- codon change, aa stays the same
Missense- amm changes
Nonsense- stop codon
Franeshift

29

Point Mutations

A

Transition

Transversion

30
Q

Transitions

A

Purine to Purine

Pyrimidine to Pyrimidine

31
Q

Transversions

A

Purine to Pyrimidine

Pyrimidine to Purine

32
Q

Cys64Arg

A

• At position 64, mutation from Cys to Arg

33
Q

M252X

A

• Mutation at position 252 to stop codon

34
Q

1294del40

A

Deletion of 40 nucleotides at position 1294

35
Q

1298A>G

A

Position 1298 mutation of A >G

36
Q

662-42C>T

A

Introns use position of exons Position 662 -42 has mutation of C > T

37
Q

IVS2+12insG

A

Position IVS2 + 12 nucleotides has insertion of G

38
Q

Detecting Mutations

A

PCR
Gel electrophiresis
Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (RFLP)
Amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)
DNA sequence

39
Q

PCR

A

Oligonucleotide primers
Denature
Anneal primers and nucleotide
Extend with DNA polymerase

40
Q

Gel Electrophoresis

A

Separate DNA fragments by size
Across electric field
DNA is negatively charged

41
Q

RFLP

A

Enzymes from bacterial cells
Recognise specific DNA sequences (4-8bp)
Cut DNA
Requires gel electrophoresis or southern blot

42
Q

ARMS

A

Normal primer matches= amplification of wild type
Mutant primer = no amplification
Mutant primer attaches= amplification of mutant alleles
Normal primer= no amplification
Electrophoresis required

43
Q

DNA Sequence

A

Uses dideoxynucleotides
ddATP, ddCTP, ddGTP, ddTTP
Gold standard for mutation detection
Uses gel electrophoresis
