Extranuclear inheritance, imprinting, & maternal effect 4 Flashcards
Nuclear genes
Genes located in the nucleaus
Chloroplast & mitchondria contains circular chromosomes where its located at the __________
Nucleiod
Inhertiance of extranuclear inhertiance don’t obey ________________
Mendelian inhertiance
Maternal inheritance
The offspring has the same phenotype as the mother
Why does maternal inheritance occur with extranuclear genes?
Beacuse the chloroplast & mitchondria are inherited through the cytoplasm of the egg
Extranuclear genes
Are from the chloroplast & mitchondria
The ________________ is involved in photosynthesis & genes for it are rRNA & tRNA
Chloroplast
_______________ makes ATP where mitchondria DNA is rRNA & tRNA
Mitchondria
Many human disease are cause by _____________ mutations (If the mother has the disease then the baby will inherit the disease as well)
Mitochondrial
If a mother who has a disease wants to have kids without the disease what type of gene therapy can she do?
Nuclear transplant
What is nuclear transplant?
Its where you remove the mitchondria from the diseased woman & inject it into a donor egg that doesn’t have a nucleus & its a normal mitchondria (if i work results in a “3 person” baby)
Endosymbiosis
Describes a symbiotic relationships in which the symbiont (smaller one) lives inside the host (larger ones)
Endosymbiosis theory
That the chloroplast & the mitchondria originated from an endosymbiotic relationship between cyanobacterium & eukaryotic cells
