lab practical exam 12/6/23 Flashcards
Where are autosomal characteristics carried?
Chromosomes #1-#22
Where are sex linked traits carried?
In 23rd pair - X and Y
Identify Karyotype for Normal Male
One X
One Y
Identify Karyotype for Klinefelter’s Syndrome
Male with one additional x chromosome (XXY).
- testes underdeveloped, enlarged breasts
-long limbs
- sparse body hair
- learning disabilities
Identify Karyotype for Triple-X/Poly-X Syndrome
Female with 3 chromosomes,
- webbed neck, short stature
- low intellectual capabilities
- underdeveloped gonadal structures
Identify Karyotype for Jacob’s Syndrome
Male has extra Y chromosome from father
- no physical or intellectual effects shown
Identify Karyotype for Down Syndrome
Extra 21st chromosome
If individual is homoz. dom. (PP), or heteroz. (Pp), what characteristics will be shown in the phenotype?
Dominant Phenotype
Would you expect a dominant trait to be the most common in a pop? Why?
NOT ALWAYS TRUE. Natural selection might give advantage + Founder effect
What is Founder effect?
A few individuals start a new population
Phenotypic ratio given Genotypic ratio:
G = 1AA:2Aa:1aa
3 purple, 1 white
Predictions based off Genotypic Ratio:
1AA:2Aa:1aa
25% 1/4 homozy. dom (purple)
50% 2/4 heterozy. (purple)
25% 1/4 homozy. rec. (white)
TRUE OR FALSE? Sex chromosomes only carry genes that relate to the sexual characteristics or functions of an individual
FALSE. Many disorders considered linked to the X chromosome –> hemophilia, color blindness, etc.
X^BX^b
carries gene (bio female)
X^bX^b
is colorblind (bio female)
X^bY
is colorblind (bio male)
How are X linked traits inherited different in males and females
- males present more, females carry
- color blindness, hemophilia, and muscular dystrophy are genes linked on the X chromosome
Does a pedigree indicate phenotypes or genotypes?
PHENOTYPES (genotypes to some extent).
Determine possible blood types for Jack and Susan’s children.
Jack’s Blood Type: O
Susan’s Blood Type: A
AO, AO, OO, OO
AO, AO
What are the 3 parts that make up a nucleotide of DNA
- phosphate group
- pentose sugar (deoxyribose)
- nitrogenous base (contains hydrogen)
Sides of a DNA strand:
sugar & phosphates
