Q

Genetic heterogeneity

A

Having

more than one inheritance pattern.

24
Q

Genetics

A

The study of the genome, including how
genes make proteins, can change from individual to individual,
and are inherited from one person to another.

25
Germ cell
The diploid reproductive cells that undergo | meiosis to produce haploid gametes.
26
Epitaxis
Bleeding from the nose.
27
Expressivity
The degree of clinical manifestation of a trait or characteristic. 
28
Facies
The appearance of the face. 
29
Gamete
The reproductive cells from a male (spermatozoa) or female (ovum). These cells are uniquely haploid and carry only one copy of each chromosome. (23 total)
30
Gene
Hereditary units, transmitted from one generation to another, that are made up of a sequence of nucleotides and located on a chromosome.
31
heterozygote
an individual with two different genes at the allele loci
32
Homozygote
an individual with identical genes at the allele loci
33
Hypertelorism
a condition in which there is greater than normal distance between two paired organs; ocular hypertelorism, a condition marked by a greater- than normal distance between the eyes
34
Hypodontia
a developmental condition marked by fewer than normal teeth, also called partial anodontia
35
Hypohidrosis
abnormally diminished secretion of sweat
36
Coloboma
A congenital defect of the eye; notch | on the outer area of the lower lid.
37
Consanguinity
Blood relationship; in gemetics the term is generally used to describe a mating or marriage between close relatives.
38
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
A substance composed of a double chain of polynucleotides, with both chains coiled around a central axis to form a double helix; it is the basic genetic code or template for amino acid formation.
39
Diploid
Having two sets of chromosomes; the normal constitution of somatic cells.
40
Dominant
In genetics, a trait or characteristic | that is manifested when it is carried by only one of a pair of homologous chromosomes.
41
Hypotrichosis
The presence of less than the normal amount of hair
42
Hypoplastic
Underdeveloped
43
Karyotype
A photo micro graphic representation of a persons chromosomal constiutition arranged according to the chromosome number
44
Locus
The position occupied by a gene on a chromosome
45
Mature germ cell
The haploid gamete
46
Haploid
Having a single set of chromosomes; a gamete is a haploid
47
Meiosis
Two-step cellular division of the original | germ cells, which reduces the chromosomes from 4n DNA to 1n DNA.
48
Metastasis
Spread of a tumor to a new, distant, | previously unaffected site. Often seen in later stages and may be associated with a poor prognosis.
49
Mitochondria
Cytoplasmic organelles that | have their own DNA in a circular chromosome.
50
Mitochondrial
Unique DNA that is maternally inherited.
51
Mitosis
Way in which somatic cells divide so that | the two daughter cells receive the same number of identical chromosomes.
52
Multifactorial Inheritance
The type of hereditary pattern seen when there is more than one genetic factor involved and, sometimes, when there are also environmental factors participating in the causation of a condition.
53
Mutation
A permanent change in the arrangement of genetic material.
54
Nondisjunction
In genetics, when chromosomes that are crossing over do not separate; therefore both migrate to the same cell.
55
Oogensis
``` The process of formation of female germ cells (ova). ```
56
Ovum
The haploid female gamete cell. The | product of meiosis in female germ cells.
