genes

Question 22

genes are made up of

Answer 22

DNA segments

Question 23

25,000 genes make up how many codes?

Answer 23

3 billion codes

Question 24

each gene on 1 chromosome corresponds with

Answer 24

another gene on the chromosome mate (mom and dad)

Question 25

additive

Answer 25

each gene makes an active, equal contribution

Question 26

dominant-recessive

Answer 26

dominant controls & hides the influence of the recessive

Answer 27

at least 20

Question 28

give the meaning of congenital

Answer 28

present at birth/may or may not be genetic

Question 29

give the meaning of inherited

Answer 29

genetically passed on

Question 30

give the 3 types of Disorders

Answer 30

chromosomal; "Karyotypes"
single gene (mendelian; a/t/g/c)
polygenic/multifactorial (genes & environment combined

Question 31

what process ends with a duplicate number?

Answer 31

mitosis

Question 32

nature means it has what effect?

Answer 32

genetic effect

Question 33

give the process of mitosis

Answer 33

pairs of chromosomes separate to the ends of the cells, then replicate themselves & the cell splits

Question 34

each cell has how many chromosomes in each cell after mitosis?

Answer 34

46 chromosomes

Question 35

after mitosis, what is the number called?

Answer 35

diploid number (duplicates)

Question 36

give the end result of mitosis

Answer 36

1 cell becomes 2 with the exact same # and type of chromosomes

Question 37

explain meiosis

Answer 37

pairs of chromosomes separate to ends of cells
cell split
each cell has 23 chromosomes
this only occurs with sex cells
haploid=half
so the zygote will end up with 46
