(M) Pattern of Inheritance Flashcards
T or F. The pattern of inheritance is the interaction between alleles in heterozygotes
T
- one allele controls the phenotype—can already manifest
- does not skip generation
Dominant
- does not control the phenotype—unless it’s homozygous or sex linked (XY)
- not expressed in heterozygotes
- neither parent is required to have the trait since they can be heterozygous (carriers) that can later on manifest to the next generation
recessive
What’s the ratio of the offspring that will be affected in autosomal dominant inheritance?
50:50
T or F. X linked gene is located on one of the numbered chromosome or nonsex chromosome
F (autosomal)
In Autosomal Dominant, if there are 4 sons, how many will be affected?
2 (50%)
This diseases such as Huntington Disease, and Neurofibromatosis mostly occur in this type of gene
autosomal dominant
T or F. In autosomal dominant, MALE & FEMALE can transmit the trait to their offspring since one mutated copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient.
T
T or F. There’s skipping of generation in autosomal dominant.
F
Need 2 mutated copies of gene for it to manifest
Autosomal Recessive
ratio of Autosomal Recessive
1:2:1
(HETEROZYGOUS PARENTS: 1/4 or 25% of the progeny will be affected)
T or F. In autosomal recessive, the parents can be unaffected
T (kasi carrier sila, their offspring will inherit it)
T or F. In autosomal recessive, this only appears in male.
F (both male and female)
What are the diseases associated with autosomal recessive?
Cystic fibrosis, Albinism
one single gene is needed for the disease to be manifested—more common in female
X-Linked Dominant
