| Galton | Eugenics/Herdiarism |
| 1st genetic engineered medication | Insulin |
| Other medical genetically engineered medicaions | HGH, erthopoetin |
| Totepotent | Cell can become anything |
| Multipotent | Cell can become some things (Cirulatory or Nervous System) |
| Plurypotent | Came become many things (Bone marrow) |
| Problems with studying humans genetically. | Long gestation, Small family sizes, incomplete family backgrounds, and generational gaps. |
| Gherlin | Causes people to eat and eat without being satisfied (related to Prader Willi) |
| Concordance | traits alike |
| Discordance | traits different |
| Blue Eyes | bb (recessive trait) |
| Non blue eyes | Bb (most expansive form) |
| Mosaics are male or female? | female only. |
| Contains a digestive enzyme | Mitochondria |
| Site of Ribsome Synthesis | ER |
| The dipolid number of sperm is | 23 |
| Humans have this many automsome pais found in each somatic cell | 44 |
| This gives a chromosome it's shape | centromere |
| This has a "p arm" that is shorter than the "q arm" | acrocentric chromosome |
| Encouraging individuals to reproduce is an example of? | Positive Eugenics |
| a cells chromoses are____ found within the cells nucleus when a nuclear membrane is present | sometimes |
| This action requires the expenditure of energy from the cell. | Osmosis |
| If the initation sit for the DNA replication is at the 5' end of the old strand the new strand will be contructed? segementally or continually? | continually |
| Adenine pairs with | Guanine |
| 5 types of genetic testing | gamete testing, blastomere/polar body testing, prenatal testing, newborn testing |
| Hereditariansim | The doctrine or school that regards heredity as the primary factor in determining intelligence and behavior independent of environmental influence (ex. intelligence). |
| FISH karyotye analysis | Fluorescent in situ hybridization) is a cytogenetic technique that can be used to detect and localize the presence or absence of specific DNA sequences on chromosomes, used to form a diagnosis, to evaluate prognosis, or to evaluate remission of a disease. |
