CHROM INHERITANCE
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is the chromosomes theory of inheritance? | genes are located on a chromsomes and that behaviors of chromosomes during meiosis accounts for the mendel's law of segregation and independent assortment |
| sex linked gene | a gene located on either sex chromosome. |
| x-linked gene | genes along the x chromosome. |
| hemophilia | x-linked recessive disorder define by the absence of one or more of the protein required for blood clotting. |
| Barr body | inactive x-chromosome in each cell of the female condenses in a compact object located inside of the nuclear envelope. |
| linked gene | genes that are located near each other on the same chromosomes trend to be inherited together in genetic crosses. |
| genetic recombination | the production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parent. |
| linkage map | a genetic map based on recombination frequencies |
| nondisjunction | members of a pair of homologous chromosomes do not move apart properly during meiosis |
| aneuploidy | aberrant gamete unites with a normal one at fertilization |
| monosomic | zygote that has a missing chromosomes |
| trisomic | zygote that has an additional chromosome |
| polypoloidy | fairly common in te plant kingdom. (3n) amount of chromosomes are multiplied by amounts more then 3. |
| deletion | lost of chromosomal fragment |
| duplication | deleted fragment may attach as a ectra segment to a sister chromatid |
| inversion | fragment may also reattached to the assigned chromosomes but in reverse orientation |
| translocation | fragment to join a nonhomologous chromosomes |
