Q

What was gregomendel interested in

A

He had a major interest in inheritance of plants and animal features, particularly in the interest in hybridization in plants.

Q

What is codominus

A

An exception to mendel’s mono hybrid cross

When two alleles of a gene are equally dominant, they combine to produce a new phenotype

Ex If red snapdragons are crossed with white snapdragons, the offspring is pink

Q

What is the difference between the x?And y chromosome

A

18
Q

What is human blood type determined by

A

The interaction of three different alleles. A, B. And C

19
Q

What do the blood type alleles represent

A

The type of protein that’s found in the blood cell membrane. A, B, o

20
Q

Why can you not give someone a different blood?Type

A

The body’s immune system is designed to recognize and destroy foreign proteins.

21
Q

What issues can arise if someone is given the wrong blood type

A

The cells can clump and glog, blood vessels

22
Q

What is a pedigree

A

A try used to trace a certain trait through as many generations as possible

23
Q

Is a pedigree reliable

A

A pedigree only works well with traits that have simple patterns and inheritance, dominance/ recessive, Sex linked

24
Q

Why are pedigree’s use

A

Pedigree can be used to determine how a trait is transmitted and to predict the probability of future offspring inheriting that trait

25
Q

What are the causes of genetic disorder

A

Chromosome admiralities ( Missing or extra chromosomes)

Altered chromosome structure

26
Q

What is a karyotype

A

A photograph of chromosomes

It’s useful in detecting defects due to chromosome admiralities

27
Q

How are chromosomes numbered

A

According to homogulus, pairs and gooped according to size and centromere, position

28
Q

Causes of missing or extra chromosome

A

Call majon failed to separate popularly during meiosis

29
Q

Does a lack of a chromosome always result in non survival

A

Turner syndrome is the only exception due to the presence of bare bodies, which is a coiled up inactive x chromosome

30
Q

What is deletion

A

Piece of a chromosome is missing results in a lack of information

31
Q

What is duplication

A

Deleted portion of one chromosome becomes attached to it homolog ( Neighbor)

32
Q

What is inversion

A

Section of a chromosome becomes reversed.Results is a reversal of the gene.Order

33
Q

What is trans location

A

Fragment of one chromosome becomes attached to a non homagan chromosom

34
Q

What are the effects of a changed chromosome structure

A

Generally, drastic effects like abmorality’s, sterility, usually self destructing

35
Q

What is point mutation

A

Errors are made in the Replication process as d n a is copied for cell division

  • This can be substitution or a deletion, how
36
Q

What is the effect of point mutation

A

It depends on the Process of the gene and wear on the protein, the change occurs

37
Q

Give an example of chromosomes i’m abnorralities

A

Down syndrome
Turner’s syndrome
Kline filter syndrome

38
Q

What is hybrid

A

An individual formed by mating between unlike forms,

39
Q

What is jean splicing

A
40
Q

What is the law dominant

A

The principle of dominate
When parents differ in one characteristic, their hybrid offspring resembles only one of the parents

The principle of segregation
When a hybrid reproduces its reproductive cells, one is of two kinds have transmitting the dominant character of one parent and the other half, transmitting the recessive character of the other parent.

41
Q

What is the principle of segregation

A

The principle of segregation
When a hybrid reproduces its reproductive cells, are of two kinds half transmitting the dominant character of one parent and the other half, transmitting the recessive character of the other parent.

42
Q

What is the principle of assortment

A

Alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamite formation
