Final Flashcards
(32 cards)
Example of AD
Achondroplasia- imdv. AA don’t survive (Aa have it)
Ay allele
Huningtons disease-abnormal H++ gene
Wooly hair
examples of AR
- PKU- mutation in Pah gene
- Albinism-no melanin prod.
X linked dom
- more common in females
- affected mothers to sons/daughters
affected sons to only daughters
x linked recesive
- males more affected
- males only to daughters
- Hemophillia A- so clotting
What repairs a nick in DNA and what repairs a full double backbone break
nick-DNA ligase
Full-NHEJ
What causes Cri du chat
deletion in chromosome 5
Paricentric vs paracentric inversion
- pari- centromere is within inverted segment
para- centromere is outside inverted segment
if downsyndrom mates with normal how many will live Alternate, adjacent 1, adjacent 2
alternate- both live
alternate 1- one down, one die
adjacent 2- both die
Trisomy, 12, 13, 18
12- down
13- Patau
18- Edwards
What is nondisjunction
- failure of chromosomes to segregate normally during meiosis 11
Alloploid vs Amphiploid
allo- hybrids in which chromosomes come from distinct/ related species
amphidiploid- has two diploid genomes, each from dif parents
Meristic traits vs Threshold
eristic- phenotypes described by whole numbers
What does CCr5 gene do
encodes protein CCR532 which is resistant to infection by HIV
Founder effect
a few imdv. separate from a larger pop + establish new pop
pop bottleneck
-large proportion of imdv. die
how to calculate avg. fregment length
- 4^n where n is # of bases in recognition site
2 steps to cloning fragments of DNA
- insert DNA fragments into cloning vectors to make recombinant DNA molecules
- Transport recombinant Dna into living cell to be copied
2 steps to creating recombinant DNA molecules with plasmid vectors
- digestion of the vector +human genomic DNA with some restriction enzymes results in complementary stick ends (ligase seals)
- Host cells take up and amplify recombo DNA (only media with ampicillin will grow)
What does sanger sequence use to make DNA
DNA polymerase
single nucleotide polymorphism
1 base pair changes ( Sickle cell anemia)
deletion-insertion polymorphism
short/ deletion of base pairs
simple sequence repeats
1-10 base pairs repeated 10-15 times
copy number variants
large blocks of duplication/deletion
polymerase chain reaction
method of making many copies of a target DNA
