Question
Answer
3 autosomal trisomeies   down's syndrom (trisomy 21)Edward's syndrom (trisomy 18)Patau Syndrom (trisomy 13)  
🗑
what is mosaicism?   when cells of individual have a different genetic make up.  
🗑
most trisomies are caused by what?   non disjuction during meoisis  
🗑
what is X inactivation?   is a dosage compensation mechanism  
🗑
where does x inact. happen from   female embryonic development. 1 of the 2 copies of x chromosome will be inactivated  
🗑
Chimersim?   form of mosaicism, but caused by fusion of two zygotes  
🗑
what is the SRY portion of the Y chromosome?   SRY is the Sex determing region of the Y chromosome. essential for maleness.  
🗑
what is Kleinfelters Syndrom?   seen with ind. who are XXY.  
🗑
result of Kleinfelters syndrom?   phenotypic male but affect with infertility  
🗑
What is turners syndrom   is XO female  
🗑
charateristics of turners   sterility, webbed neck, cardic deformities  
🗑
what could cause an ind. who has Y chromosome to be phenotypically male?   Swyers syndrom. mutations in SRY that render it  
🗑
in which of the following would you expect X inactivation to occur?   XX, XXX,XXY. All of them  
🗑
name 3 structuarl aberrations involving one chromosome   inversionsdeletionsduplications  
🗑
2 structual aberrations that involve 2 chromosomes.   translocationsinsertions  
🗑
could a structural aberration lead to one of the 3 autosomal trisomy phenotypes?   structural aberrations can lead to syndroms as seen in certain trisomies.  
🗑
unit of hereditary info   gene  
🗑
alternate from of a gene   allele  
🗑
position of gene on a chromosome   loci  
🗑
in a heterozygote, dominate allele is expressed over the recessive allele   dominant  
🗑
allele that is masked by dominant allele   recessive  
🗑
the alleles for a trait that an ind. has are the same such as HH or hh   homozygous  
🗑
allels for trait that ind. are carrying are different. Hh   herterogyous  
🗑
genetic makeup of organism.   genotype  
🗑
expression of a genogype   phenotype  
🗑
name two lethal diseases that are carried onm autosomal dominant alleles   achondroplasiahuntington's disease  
🗑
how are alleles able to be maintained in a population   achondroplasia maintained bc it is only lethal as homozygous dominant. spontanteously aborted  
🗑
how is huntingtons dis. abled to be maintained?   doesnt occur until after ind. has passed sexual maturity, so an affected individual could potentially pass the allele on to offspring  
🗑


   

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.
