Question
Answer
The Cell cycle 2 phases Interphase Mitosis   Interphase: Normal cellular fxing Mitosis: reproductive phase where 2 exact daughter cells produced  
🗑
Interphase   2 gap phases and synthesis phase synthesis phase: where DNA is duplicated  
🗑
Chromatin   uncoiled strands of DNA found in interphase  
🗑
prep for mitosis starts with synthesis of DNA   replicated in synthesis phase then coiled around histones to form chromosomes. DNA is seen as chromosomes in Mitosis and meiosis  
🗑
Centromere   joins two chromatids in center. Landmark to id one chromosome from another. location can chagne. Chromatids: two duplicate strands of DNA to form chromosome. One will move to each daughter cell.  
🗑
4 phases of mitosis   prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase  
🗑
Mitosis   cellular division. By first phase, all organelles and dna have been duplicated  
🗑
prophase   nuclear env disappears, spindle fibers form and attach at chromosomes at centromeres  
🗑
metaphase   chromosomes align at equatorial plate by centromeres. Easiest to id by microscope in this phase  
🗑
anaphase   centromeres split to make separate chromatids and spindle fibers pull them to opp poles of ea cell  
🗑
telophase   new nuclear membranes form around ea set of 46 chromatids now known as chromosomes. They uncoil to form chromotin and cytokinesis occurs producing 2 daughter cells ea with diploid number of 46 chromatin strands  
🗑
Meiosis Haploid number   process done only in reproductive organs Haploid: produces gametes resulting in half of number of chromosomes 23 from mother, 23 from father  
🗑
two cellular divisions   Meiosis I: reduction to haploid number Meiosis II: divide like mitosis  
🗑
phases of meiosis I phases of Meiosis II   I: pro, meta, ana, telo II: meta, ana, telo  
🗑
Meiosis I, reduction phase   sister chromosomes align (mom 1 with dad 1), crossing over happens, centromeres don't split just the pairs of chromosomes  
🗑
What is crossing over   exchange of genetic material in sister chromosomes (mom1 and dad1)  
🗑
By end of Meiosis I   two daughter cells produced with ea 23 chromosomes  
🗑
Beginning of Meiosis II, mototic division   mitotic division results of 4 gametes ea w/ 23 chromosomes  
🗑
gene   seq of DNA in chromosome that codes for specific protein or specific piece of genetic info  
🗑
locus   position along chromosome that spec. gene is located  
🗑
allele   diff forms of genes on same gene locus, eye or hair color  
🗑
codon (triplet codon)   seq. of three nucleic acid bases that code for spec amino acid. 20 diff aa  
🗑
karyotype   ordered display of chromosomes  
🗑
DNA   genetic code 4 necleic acids: adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine replication by enzyme DNA polymerase  
🗑
Altered genetic process   mutations aneuploidy altered chromosomal structure  
🗑
mutation   probelms wtih genes not chromosomes, a segment of DNA that codes for a protein. Alteration in DNA seq and occurs during DNA replication in S phase before cell division. mutated DNA can be passed onto daughter cells or offspring in gametes  
🗑
types of mutation: base pair or frameshift   base pair: replacement of single base pair by diff base pair frameshift mutation: 1 or more base pairs inserted or deleted from DNA seq  
🗑
Aneuploidy euploid   cells with multiples of normal number of chromosomes haploid: 23 normal gamete diploid: 46 normal somatic cell  
🗑
polyploidy   abn cells contain multiples of euploid number (3x: triploid fetus: 69 or 4x: tetraplid fetus: 92) Cannot survive  
🗑
aneuploid   Can survive, do not contain euploid no.  
🗑
polysomy trisomy monosomy   p: extra copies of chromosomes t: 1 extra copy of chrom m: only 1 copy of chrom, usually not survive EXCEPT with female inf. w/ monosomy of X chrom  
🗑
Cause of aneuploidy   nondisjuntion: failure of separation of chromosomes during cellular reprod. In meitotic div = gametes w/ abn no. of chrom(aneuploidy). Duplication is more survivable than deletion of genetic mat.  
🗑
Mosaic Aneuploidy   special case where duplication or deletion of genetic matierial is not present in all cells May be result of nondisjx during mitotic div after fertilization  
🗑
example of autosomal aneuploidy   trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome), incr with maternal age 13 or 18 tend to die  
🗑
features of trisomy 21`   low nasal bridge, low set ears, simian creases, epicanthal folds, protruding tongue, mental retardation, cardiac defects  
🗑
Ex of Aneuploidy of sex chromosomes   Turner Syndrome: 45 chromosomes with monosomy of X (monosomy) Klinefelter syndrome: extra X chrom, 47 XXY  
🗑
Types of altered structure   deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations Can happen in crossing over phase, not always. Silent passed to children and loss of genetic material usually ends in death  
🗑
Ex of chromosomal deletion   Cri du chat syndrome: deletion of short arm of chrom 5 high pitched cry, low birth wt, microcephaly, cardiac defects, severe mental retardation  
🗑
Patterns that genetic inheritance and how alterations are transferred to offspring   not all inherited from parents Homozygous: 2 alleles from mom/dad r identical(ex: both genes code for blue eyes, AA) Heterozygous: 2 alleles not identical (Aa). One is dominant A, other recessive a. Can express dominant and carry recessive  
🗑
genotype phenotype   g: actual genetic code in DNA p: appearance or fx of individual. Can be influenced by env, not all predetermined by genetic structure  
🗑
Ex of environmental influence of phenotype   phenylketonuria (PKU): inborn error of metabolism, lacks ability to metabolize phenylalanine. On long arm of chrom 12. Both recessive genes severe, but reduced with dietary restriction, so phenotypic expression is influenced  
🗑
4 main patterns of genetic inheritance   autosomal dominant autosomal recessive x-linked dominant x-linked recessive  
🗑
autosomal dominant transmission Dd affected x Dd affected Dd Affected x dd normal   Affected: DD, Dd, Dd Normal: dd Affected: Dd, Dd Normal: dd, dd  
🗑
Common autosomal dominant disorders   marfan syndrome, connective tissue weakness, fibrilin, risk for aorta tear neurofibromatosis Huntington's disease, Chorea, progressive dementia  
🗑
Autosomal recessive transmission Dd x Dd   homo DD normal, hetero Dd carrier, Dd hetero carrier, dd homo affected  
🗑
Ex. autosomal recessive inheritance   cystic fibrosis Most common mutation: Delta 508 from deletion of triplet code for phenylalinine phenylketoniuria Tay-sachs disease: fat cells sickle cell: hemoglobin molecules  
🗑
Ex. X-linked dominant inheritance   hypophasphatemic rickets: defective protein in kidney, decr phosphate  
🗑
X-Linked Recessive transmission XHXh x XHY XHXH x XhY XHXh x XhY   more common affected: XhY, carrierXHXh, norm XHXH, XHY aff: none, carrier XHXh, XHXh, norm XHY aff: XhXh, XhY, carrier XHXh, norm XHY  
🗑
Ex. X-linked Recessive inheritance   Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy absent protein dystrophin which maintains structural integrity so get muscle wasting  
🗑
Other X-linked Recessive disorders   Hemophilia A Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) Agammaglobulinemia color blindness  
🗑
What is threshold of liability   no of defective alleles need to be present for disorder to be phenotypically expressed, may differ with gender  
🗑
What is the human genome project   Determines location of many genes that code for disorders. It maps specific genes to spec disorders. Gene therapy is experimental, not very successful.  
🗑
