LECTURE 5- STUDY GUIDE Flashcards
Mitochondrial and chloroplast genes are inherited from the female parents(from the egg cell during fertilization). why?
- The female egg is much bigger than the male sperm.
- The egg can carry much more genetic information and organelles
A mode of uniparental inheritance from the mother is called ____________. Fill in the blank
maternal inheritance
How are mitochondrial genes inherited?
uniparental from the mother
Most mitochondrial genes encode proteins that are part of you ATP synthase and the protein complexes of the electron transport chain. If these are mutated or damaged, it can affect your nervous system and metabolic function. For example,_______________ can be caused and result the optic neuron degeneration over time. Fill in the blank
Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy
How are chloroplast genes inherited?
They are uniparental and can only be inherited from the female plants.
According to the video Multiple Alleles (ABO Blood Types) and Punnett Squares, what happens if you try to give a B- antigens person (a) A- antigens, (B) AB- antigen, or (c) O- antigen blood?
The O-antigen blood would be able to be used
According to the video Multiple alleles (ABO blood type) and Punnett Squares, why can O antigen blood only receive donated blood from an O antigen individual?
type O blood does not have A or B antigens, their immune system will attack any other blood type that does.
According to the video Multiple Alleles (ABO Blood Types) and Punnett Squares, which blood type is a universal acceptor? why?
AB blood is the universal acceptor. Because the A and B antigens are present
According to the video Multiple Alleles ( ABO Blood Types) and Punnett Squares, what does it mean your blood is + or - ?
positive- means that you have the protein
called Rh factor on the surface of your blood cells.
negative- means that you do not have this protein called Rh factor
