DEVELOPMENTAL MALFORMATION 8 Flashcards
First Law
a unit of genetic information (gene) is transmitted unchanged
from generation to generation.
. Second Law –
– alternate forms of the gene must segregate during gamete
formation and recombine independently in the offspring to provide a 1:2:1
ratio.
three modes of genetic defect transmission in animals and
these includes :
- mutant genes of large effect
- change in number or morphological state of
chromosomes - additive effects of many genes of small effects but influenced by environmental factors.
Third Law
– non-allelic traits do not segregate but assort randomly and recombine with a probability representing the product of their independent
probabilities.
Autosomal recessive inheritance
is the most commonly reported
genetic defects in domestic animal species
heterozygous
individual contains
different alleles for a given gene
homozygous
individual contains a pair
of identical alleles of a given gene
exhibit distinct
phenotypic defect.
Autosomal Dominant Inheritance
Abnormalities in the number of chromosomes are called
heteroploidy
hemizygous
(an individual with possessing only one allele)
farm animals that are expressed by autosomal dominant inheritance include :
- idiopathic epilepsy
- familial convulsion in cattle.
With chromosomal abnormalities, there occur two
types:
numerical abnormality, and structural abnormality
heteroploidy and
involves either
polyploidy or aneuploidy
individual is born and carries
with its multiples of the haploid number of its chromosomes, the condition is
called
Polyploidy
the number may be 69
triploidy
92
tetraploidy
involves either an increase or decrease in
the normal number of chromosomes without regard to completion of full haploid
set.
Aneuploidy
. If there are three sex chromosomes instead of two (e.g.,
XXY, or XYY), the condition is called
trisomy
if only one sex chromosome
occur (e.g., OX, OY),
monosomy
occur as a result of nondisjunction of chromosomes during
the anaphase stage in meiosis of germ cells or in mitosis at the zygote, and result
to
Heteroploidy
the presence of two or more population of cells with different genotypes.
In humans, defects in sex chromosome
number are called
gonadal dysgenesis
there are chances that fetal sharing of circulation result
to population of cells between twins, resulting to the presence of different genotypes in cell population of one twin. This condition is called
chimerism
gonadal dysgenesis, and examples include :
Turner’s syndrome (45, 0X) and Klinefelter’s syndrome (47, XXY).
where the fragment
becomes attached to another chromosome.
translocation
parts of the
chromosome exchange places with another and is called
Reciprocal translocation
A typical example of translocation was that observed in
Down syndrome
where two breaks occurs and a realignment result to a reversal of the order of the chromosome.
inversion of chromosome
When a defect is governed by the additive effect of two or more genes of small effect but is conditioned by non-genetic environmental influences and is
expressed,
polygenic inheritance
