LN 08 (Developmental Malformation) Flashcards
simply imply that the individual is born with the defect and has no reference to it being hereditary or not
congenital defects
How is hereditary defects not always congenital?
some are made manifest later in life of the individual
physical expression of a trait
phenotype
genetic constitution of an organism
genotype
unit of genetic information (gene) is transmitted unchanged from generation to generation
first law
alternate forms of the gene must segregate during gamete formation and recombine independently in the offspring to provide a 1:2:1 ratio
second law
alternate form of gene
alelle
non-allelic traits do not segregate but assort randomly and recombine with a probability representing the product of their independent probabilities
third law
Three modes of genetic defect transmission
- 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
most commonly reported
genetic defects in domestic animal species
autosomal recessive inheritance
most commonly reported
genetic defects in humans
autosomal dominant inheritance
individual contains a pair
of identical alleles of a given gene
homozygous
individual contains different alleles for a given gene
heterozygous
ratio between those affected and not affected in any given mating is
three phenotypic normal to one affected individual, or 25% chances
congenital tremor
pig
cerebellar atrophy
sheep
cerebellar hypoplasia
cattle
cranium bifidum
pig
congenital hydrocephalus
cattle
atresia ani
pig
chediak-higashi syndrome
cattle, horse
combined immunodefiecency
horse
inherited goiter
sheep
familial polycythemia
cattle
congenital porphyria
cattle, pig
Cases reported in farm animals that are expressed by autosomal dominant
inheritance include
- idiopathic epilepsy
- familial convulsion in cattle
heterozygote affected animal mates with a homozygote animal, each offspring has ___ risk of being affected
50%
both parents are heterozygote affected, the risk that the offspring produced are affected increases to
75%
Breeding patterns that result to a defect observed to occur in the males
only tend to suggest that the defect is
Y linked
Two types of chromosomal abnormalities
- numerical abnormality
- structural abnormality
Abnormalities in the number of chromosomes are called
heteroploidy
individual is born and carries with its multiples of the haploid number of its chromosomes
polyploidy
involves either an increase or decrease in the normal number of chromosomes without regard to completion of full haploid set
aneuploidy
there are three sex chromosomes instead of two
trisomy
f only one sex chromosome
occur (e.g., OX, OY)
monosomy
result of nondisjunction of chromosomes during
the anaphase stage in meiosis of germ cells or in mitosis at the zygote
heteroploidy
heteroploidy results to, ____, which is the presence of two or more population of cells with different
genotypes
mosaicism
In ruminants, fraternal twinning results to the presence of different
genotypes in cell population of one twin in a condition known as
chimerism (due to fetal sharing of circulation)
example of chimerism
freemartin
In humans, defects in sex chromosome number are called
gonadal dysgenesis
gonadal dysgenesis examples
- Turner’s syndrome (45, 0X)
- Klinefelter’s syndrome (47, XXY)
fragment of chromosomes becomes attached to another chromosome
translocation
