Question
Answer
Changes in DNA are called ________.   Mutations  
🗑
Where can mutations occur?   In sex cells AND body cells  
🗑
The only mutations that can be passed on to offspring occur in these cells.   Sex cells  
🗑
Who is affected by mutations that occur in body cells?   Only the person with the mutation  
🗑
A mutation that occurs when a piece of chromosome breaks off   Deletion  
🗑
A mutation that occurs when a piece of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches in the opposite direction (upside-down)   Inversion  
🗑
An inversion reaction changes the direction of the ____   DNA  
🗑
A mutation that occurs when a piece breaks off a chromosome and attaches to a DIFFERENT chromosome   Translocation  
🗑
When homologous pairs to not separate properly during meiosis, giving one of the daughter cells and extra chromosome and one a missing chromosome, the mutation is called ___   Nondisjunction (not + separating)  
🗑
This nondisjunction disorder is caused by having 3 copies of the 21 chromosome.   Down's Syndrome (Trisomy 21)  
🗑
This nondisjunction disorder occurs when an individual receives an extra X chromosome (XXY), and usually results in low fertility and developmental delays   Klinefelter's  
🗑
This nondisjunction disorder occurs when an individual has only an X chromosome (X0) causing immature development and sterility.   Turner's syndrome  
🗑
This genotype has been loosely linked to men convicted of violent crime   XYY  
🗑
When two alleles of the same gene do not mask each other it is called ______ dominance   incomplete  
🗑
Incomplete dominance results in a genotype and phenotype that is a ______ of two traits.   combination  
🗑
What kind of traits are carried only on the X chromosome?   Sex-linked  
🗑
Which sex is more likely to get a sex-linked trait?   Males  
🗑
Why are males more likely to get a sex-linked trait?   They receive only one X chromosome (from their mother) so the recessive trait cannot be masked.  
🗑
Traits controlled by more that one gene are called _______   Polygenetic traits  
🗑
Give an example of a polygenetic trait   Skin, hair and eye color are examples  
🗑
What professionals study and help predict the chances of a specific trait being inherited in families?   Genetic counselors  
🗑
What do genetic counselors do?   Help determine probability of passing traits, explain the characteristics of certain traits  
🗑
What are some tools used by genetic counselors?   Pedigrees (Inheritance pattern charts) and karyotypes (chromosomes)  
🗑
An organized picture of chromosomes removed from a cell and stained is called a ______   karyotype  
🗑
The procedure in which a large needle is used to remove a small amount of amniotic fluid from the uterus of the mother to obtain fetal cells.   Amniocentesis  
🗑
Procedure which bounces soundwaves off a fetus to produce an image   ultrasound  
🗑
A record that traces how a trait is inherited in a family and helps predict future generations.   Pedigree  
🗑
Plants changes to produce certain chemicals that will kill certain insects that feed on them.   Genetically altered plants  
🗑
Normal genetic material is inserted into a virus, which transfers it to infected body cells, correcting an abnormal condition.   Gene transfer  
🗑
A surgery done on a baby in the mother's uterus using surgical tools and a camera.   Fetoscopy  
🗑
What does genetic engineering (biological and chemical engineering) attempt to do?   Change the arrangement of DNA  
🗑
DNA from one organism inserted into another   Recombinant DNA  
🗑
What is one usage of recombinant DNA?   Insulin production - Large amounts of insulin can be produced when the DNA that triggers production is introduced into an organism, like bacteria, that reproduces rapidly.  
🗑
The study of the interaction between Science and Nature that asks whether science should interfere to cause genetic changes.   genetic ethics  
🗑
What influence does politics have on genetic science?   Politics can determine how much money is spent on research, which diseases are studied, and whether to allow genetic alterations.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
