LECTURE 8: Developmental Malformation Flashcards
Every individual is said to be unique in every aspect and this is determined
by the _________.
genes in the chromosome
As the genes of the developing fetus interact with the
_______, there are chances that said interactions result to some
alterations that could be expressed as defects
fetal environment
It is hereditary when the defect of one parent is transmitted in the gametes through the generations.
defect
simply imply that the individual is born with the defect and has no reference to it being hereditary or not.
Congenital defects
Experimenting with crossbreeding of garden pea plants,
Mendel showed that although some traits are transmitted to generation of
offspring in an unchanged state.
Mendelian Laws of Inheritance
Mendelian Laws of Inheritance
Experimenting with crossbreeding of garden pea plants,
Mendel showed that although some traits are transmitted to generation of
offspring in an unchanged state.
physical expression of a trait
phenotype
genetic constitution
Genotype
laws of inheritance
- First Law
- Second Law
- Third Law
First Law
a unit of genetic information (gene) is transmitted unchanged from generation to generation
Second Law
alternate forms of the gene must segregate during gamete
formation and recombine independently in the offspring to provide a 1:2:1 ratio
This alternate form of gene was later called _________.
allele
This alternate form of gene was later called allele, and its transmission outlined the concepts of what?
DOMINANCE and RECESSIVITY
Second Law – alternate forms of the gene must segregate during gamete
formation and recombine independently in the offspring to provide a ______ ratio.
1:2:1 ratio
Third Law
non-allelic traits do not segregate but assort randomly and recombine with a probability representing the product of their independent
probabilities
It do not segregate but assort randomly and recombine with a probability representing the product of their independent probabilities.
non-allelic traits
three modes of genetic defect transmission in animals
- mutant genes of large effect
- change in number or morphological state of chromosomes
- additive effects of many genes of small effects but influenced by environmental factors.
are expressed according to the foregoing laws of inheritance
mutant genes of large effect
the most commonly reported genetic defects in domestic animal species
Autosomal Recessive Inheritance (ARI)
ratio of 1:2:1
HOMOZYGOUS NORMAL: HETEROZYGOUS: HOMOZYGOUS ABNORMAL
Contains a pair of identical alleles of a given gene
homozygous individual
Contains
different alleles for a given gene
heterozygous individual
What trait is recessive?
aa
What trait is dominant?
BB
