Are hairy ears Y linked
No
Hemophilia A is a defect in
Clotting factor VIII
Hemophilia B is a defect in
Clotting factor IX
Hemophilia A and B are ____ disorders
X linked recessive
Hemophilia C is caused by defect in
Clotting factor XI
Which chromosome is hemophilia C found
Chromosome 4
Autosomal recessive
In X-linked diseases, mostly ____ are affected
Males
Why are Y linked genes not common
Y chromosome is smaller than X with fewer genes
Pseudoautosomal inheritance
Very few genes found on both X and Y chromosomes
Psuedoautosomal inheritance is found on what regions
Homologous
Polymorphisms
Common variations in DNA
Molecular marker
DNA variation that is found at a specific site in a genome
Examples of molecular markers
SNPs - single nucleotide morphonisms
SSLP - Simple sequence length polymorphisms
Microsatellite (short tandem repeats)
What does it mean if the markers are always inherited with the mutant phenotype
It means the molecular marker and gene is linked
All RFLPs (Restriction fragment length polymorphism) are
SNPs
