Q

translocation def

A

Chrom A and Chrom B

one piece from each

Swap piece with each other

24
Q

def unbalanced translocation

A

when there’s a loss/gain or genetic material

25
what's the name of the DNA stain used in doing a karyotype
Giemsa
26
edema/swelling is caused by inc blood flow or inc permeability
inc perm | more precise, bc the blood needs to go OUT in order for there to be swelling
27
COX 2 inhibitor is the current anti acute INF drug what's the next gen drug that is being dev
lipoxin analogue
28
COX 2 inh inhibits COX, which has lots of downstream results What's the main target of C0X inh
inhibit prostagladin
29
pathway of fever
hypothalamus release PGE2 -> skin VC and more blood to body core -> more blood to score means higher body temp BUT feel chilly
30
what do you call effusion that contains RBC
Serosanguinous
31
suppurative/purulent INF/abcess is accompanied by what kind of necrosis
liquefactive
32
order these from first to last in sequence - monocyte/macrophage - edema - neutrophil
1 edema (first) 2 neutrophil 3 monocyte/macrophage
33
NO, rel by endo cell, causes VD and...
dec adhesion
34
histamine rel trig by serotonin rel trig by
h: IgE binding, complement, cytokin s: exposed collagen and thrombin
35
what plants did Mendel study
pea
36
Sutton conclusion?
Sutton | 1 genes reside on chromosomes (theory is called Chromosomal theory of inheritance)
37
reasons why patient with SAME genotype can have dif phenotype
1 environmental (could be treatment of disease, nutrition growing up, etc)
38
penetrance def
prob of expressing a phenotype given that person has inherited that gene all or none: you can express the disease or not
39
100% penetrance means
100% - manifest disease
40
prob less than 100% means penetrance is
reduced/incomplete
41
age dependent penetrance def
disease that have higher prob of occurrence as age increases
42
pleiotropy def
one gene causes multiple dif, seemingly unrelated phenotypic effects
43
disease ex of pleiotropy
Marfan syndrome - defect in ONE gene: Fibrillin 1 gene affects - -eye - -skeleton - -heart
44
homozygote def
pair of SAME allele at same locus
45
hemizygote def
has only 1 allele ex: XY means HZ for the X read: DIF from heterozygote (Hh)
46
carrier def
clinically UNaffected person who is heterozygous for a deleterious, recessive allele
47
what is a pedigree
graphical rep of family tree using symbols
48
in a pedigree, what is the label for person who presents for evaluation
proband
49
name a disease that is subject to founder effect
``` Tay Sachs (auto recess) very rare except in Ashkenazi Jews or Amish ```
50
why are Y linked diseases uncommon
Y chrom is small (doesn't contain many genes)
51
say the obvious about Y linked diseases
only males affected
52
read: autosomal dominant is associated with - variable expressivity - penetrance - pleiotrophy why: Aa - you can vary the influence of each whereas aa, it is much less imp the influence of each
-
53
read: autosomal recessive means you have higher chance of - founder effect - consanguinity
-
54
what are the types of genetic patterns where males and fem are EQUALLY affected
auto dominant or recessive
55
obligate carrier def
someone must have been a carrier
56
methylate which sequence in a DNA sequence when silencing the gene
CpG cytosine-guanosine
