21
Q

What are the metabolic pathways?

A

Anabolic and Catabolic

22
Q

Small molecules are assembled into large ones. Energy is required.

23
Q

Large molecules are broken down into small ones. Energy is released.

24
Q
  • Changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA
  • May occur in somatic cells (aren’t passed to
    offspring)
  • May occur in gametes (eggs & sperm) and be
    passed to offspring
25
What causes mutations?
Chemicals and UV
26
Some type of skin cancers and leukemia result from ____________
Somatic mutations
27
It is a DNA molecule that is tightly coiled around proteins called histones, which support its structure, to form a thread-like structures.
Chromosome
28
Five types of chromosome mutation
– Deletion – Inversion – Translocation – Nondisjunction – Duplication
29
Type of chromosome mutation * Due to breakage * A piece of a chromosome is lost
Deletion
30
Type of chromosome mutation * Chromosome segment breaks off * Segment flips around backwards * Segment reattaches
Inversion
31
Type of chromosome mutation * Occurs when a gene sequence is repeated
Duplication
32
Type of chromosome mutation * Involves two chromosomes that are NOT homologous * Part of one chromosome is transferred to another chromosome
Translocation
33
Type of chromosome mutation * Failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis * Causes gamete to have too many or too few chromosomes * Disorders: – Down Syndrome – three 21st chromosomes – Turner Syndrome – single X chromosome – Klinefelter’s Syndrome – XXY chromosomes
Nondisjunction
34
also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of a third copy of chromosome 21. It is typically associated with physical growth delays, characteristic facial features and mild to moderate intellectual disability.
Down syndrome
35
A condition that affects only females, results when one of the X chromosomes (sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing. It can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure of the ovaries to develop and heart defects.
Turner syndrome
36
occurs when a boy is born with one or more extra X chromosomes. Most males have one Y and one X chromosome. Having extra X chromosomes can cause a male to have some physical traits unusual for males such as weaker muscles, greater height, poor coordination, less body hair, and sterility
Klinefelter's syndrome
37
* Change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene * May only involve a single nucleotide * May be due to copying errors, chemicals, viruses, etc.
Gene mutations
38
Type of Gene Mutations
– Point Mutations – Substitutions – Insertions – Deletions – Frameshift
39
Type of gene mutation * Change of a single nucleotide * Includes the deletion, insertion, or substitution of ONE nucleotide in a gene
Point mutation
40
is the result of one nucleotide substitution * Occurs in the hemoglobin gene
Sickle cell disease
41
Type of gene mutation * Inserting or deleting one or more nucleotides * Changes the “reading frame” like changing a sentence * Proteins built incorrectly
Frameshift mutation
42
It is a mutation that exchanges one base for another (i.e., a change in a single "chemical letter" such as switching an A to a G)
Substitution mutation
43
Type of gene mutation - The addition of one or more nucleotide base pairs into a DNA sequence
Insertion mutation
44
Type of gene mutation - A part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is lost during DNA replication. - Any number of nucleotides can be deleted, from a single base to an entire piece of chromosome
Deletion mutation
