Question
Answer
Karyotype   photograph of cells during mitosis arranged in pairs  
🗑
Autosomes   all chromosomes except sex chromosomes  
🗑
Human chromosome structure   contain protein and a single, double stranded DNA molecule  
🗑
Pedigree chart   shows relationships in a family  
🗑
Why are some obvious human traits not able to be associated with one gene   many single traits are polygenic, some traits are only partially governed by ganetics (environmental/nongenetic factors)  
🗑
Why is it difficult to study human genetics?   Long generation times, complex life cycle, produce few offspring  
🗑
Human blood group genes   Rh is determined by 1 gene. 2 blood groups: ABo and Rh.  
🗑
Tay-Sachs   nervous system breakdown recessive  
🗑
Achondroplasia   dwarfism caused by dominant allele  
🗑
Phenylketonuria PKU   buildup of phenylalanine caused by recessive  
🗑
Huntington's   Progressive loss of msucle control and mental function dominant  
🗑
Sickle cell disease's cause   a change in just one DNA base that codes for the protein hemoglobin  
🗑
What makes a protein dominant, recessive , or codominant   the nature of a gene's protein product and its role in the cell  
🗑
Sex linked genes   genes on sex chromosomes  
🗑
Y chromosome   contains a few genes  
🗑
Colorblindness   defective version of 1 of 3 genes on x chromosome  
🗑
Hemophelia   recessive allele in 1 of 2 genes resulting in a missing protein required for normal blood clotting  
🗑
Duchene Muscular Dystrophy   defective version of gene that codes for muscle protein  
🗑
All x linked alleles are expressed in males, even if they are recessive b/c   they only have 1 x chromosome  
🗑
The cell adjusts to an extra x chromosome by   switching one off randomly  
🗑
Barr body   dense region in the nucleus formed when one of a female's x chromosomes is off  
🗑
Nondisjunction   homologous chromosomes fail to separate  
🗑
Trisomy   3 copies of a chromosome  
🗑
Down sindrome   3 copies of chromosome 21  
🗑
Genotype XO (Turner's)   female inherited only 1 chromosome and is sterile  
🗑
Klinefelters   males with genotype XXY  
🗑
XYY   psycho  
🗑


   

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.
