Chromosomes, Pedigrees and Mutations 3.5 U3 Flashcards

1
Q

What is gene linkage?

A

Genes on the same chromosomes can “break” the law of independent assortment The closer together they are, the most likely they are to be “linked”Unlikely to be split apart during crossing over in Meiosis I

Q

How are gene map units created and used?

A

Crossover frequencies can be converted into map units.We can use the frequency of crossing-over to determine the relative distance between genes on the same chromosome.

Q

Autosomal Inheritance Dominant Traits? EX

A

every individual with the trait must have a parent with itwithout any other context, shading = AA or AaExample = Huntington’s disease

Autosomal Inheritance Recessive Traits? EX

A

individual with the trait may or may not have a parent with itwithout any other context, shading = aaNon-shaded could be AA or Aa!Example = Sickle Cell Anemia

X-Linked Recessive Traits? EX

A

males are more likely to show recessive traitsshading = XaXa, XaYNon-shaded could be XAXA, XAXa, or XAYExample = Red-green colorblindness

Q

What is Silent Mutations?

A

Has no effect on the protein sequence

17
Q

What is Missense Mutations?

A

Results in an amino acid substitution

18
Q

What is Nonsense Mutations?

A

substitutes a stop codon for an amino acid

19
Q

What is Frameshift Mutations?

A

A deletion or insertion of bases can cause a frameshift

20
Q

What can Cause Mutations?

A

Spontaneous Mutationserrors in DNA replication, etc.Induced Mutationscaused by mutagens

21
Q

What are some examples of disorders caused by mutations?

A

Sickle Cell Disease, Huntington’s Disease

22
Q

What is Sickle Cell Disease?

A

Single gene mutation (point - substitution)Hemoglobin-Beta gene on chromosome 11Autosomal recessive“Heterozygous advantage”

23
Q

What is Huntington’s Disease?

A

Insertion of “CAG” repeats in gene for a protein in brain neuronsChromosome 4Autosomal dominant

24
Q

What is a human karyotype?

A

A human karyotype shows 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes.

25
Q

When does non-disjunction happen and also what is it?

A

Could happen in M1 or M2If in M1 then no normal cellsIf in M2 then half normal cellsIs improper splitting of chromosomes

26
Q

What is Monosomy?

A

1 copy

27
Q

What is Trisomy?

A

3 copies

28
Q

What is Aneuploidy?

A

An abnormal number of chromosomes

29
Q

What is Polyploidy?

A

Having more than two complete sets of chromosomes Relatively common in plants, but rare in animals!

30
Q

What is X-Chromosome Inactivation

A

In females, one X chromosomes is “switched off” and forms a Barr Body

31
Q

What are lethal traits?

A

A trait in which a homozygous dominant individual does not survive.This affects probability estimates!

32
Q

When is crossing over common?

A

When far apart

33
Q

When is crossing over rare?

A

When close together(linked)

34
Q

X-Linked Dominant Traits? EX

A

females are more likely to show dominant traits
shading = XAXA, XAXa, XAY

Example = X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH)
