21
Q

What are the metabolic pathways?

A

Anabolic and Catabolic

22
Q

Small molecules are assembled into large ones. Energy is required.

A

Anabolic

23
Q

Large molecules are broken down into small ones. Energy is released.

A

Catabolic

24
Q
  • Changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA
  • May occur in somatic cells (aren’t passed to
    offspring)
  • May occur in gametes (eggs & sperm) and be
    passed to offspring
A

Mutation

25
Q

What causes mutations?

A

Chemicals and UV

26
Q

Some type of skin cancers and leukemia
result from ____________

A

Somatic mutations

27
Q

It is a DNA molecule that is tightly coiled around proteins called histones, which support its structure, to form a thread-like structures.

A

Chromosome

28
Q

Five types of chromosome mutation

A

– Deletion
– Inversion
– Translocation
– Nondisjunction
– Duplication

29
Q

Type of chromosome mutation
* Due to breakage
* A piece of a
chromosome is lost

A

Deletion

30
Q

Type of chromosome mutation
* Chromosome segment
breaks off
* Segment flips around
backwards
* Segment reattaches

A

Inversion

31
Q

Type of chromosome mutation
* Occurs when a
gene sequence is
repeated

A

Duplication

32
Q

Type of chromosome mutation
* Involves two
chromosomes that
are NOT homologous
* Part of one
chromosome is
transferred to
another chromosome

A

Translocation

33
Q

Type of chromosome mutation
* Failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis
* Causes gamete to have too many or too few chromosomes
* Disorders:
– Down Syndrome – three 21st chromosomes
– Turner Syndrome – single X chromosome
– Klinefelter’s Syndrome – XXY chromosomes

A

Nondisjunction

34
Q

also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder
caused by the presence of all or part of
a third copy of chromosome 21. It is
typically associated with physical
growth delays, characteristic facial
features and mild to moderate
intellectual disability.

A

Down syndrome

35
Q

A condition that affects only females, results when one of the X chromosomes (sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing.
It can cause a variety of medical and developmental problems, including short height, failure of the ovaries to develop and heart defects.

A

Turner syndrome

36
Q

occurs when a boy is born with one or more extra X chromosomes. Most males have
one Y and one X chromosome. Having extra X chromosomes can cause a male to have some
physical traits unusual for males such as weaker muscles, greater height, poor coordination, less body hair, and sterility

A

Klinefelter’s syndrome

37
Q
  • Change in the nucleotide sequence of a gene
  • May only involve a single nucleotide
  • May be due to copying errors, chemicals, viruses, etc.
A

Gene mutations

38
Q

Type of Gene Mutations

A

– Point Mutations
– Substitutions
– Insertions
– Deletions
– Frameshift

39
Q

Type of gene mutation
* Change of a single
nucleotide
* Includes the
deletion, insertion, or
substitution of ONE
nucleotide in a gene

A

Point mutation

40
Q

is the result of one nucleotide substitution
* Occurs in the hemoglobin gene

A

Sickle cell disease

41
Q

Type of gene mutation
* Inserting or deleting one or more nucleotides
* Changes the “reading frame” like changing a
sentence
* Proteins built incorrectly

A

Frameshift mutation

42
Q

It is a mutation that exchanges one base for another
(i.e., a change in a single
“chemical letter” such as
switching an A to a G)

A

Substitution mutation

43
Q

Type of gene mutation
- The addition of one or more
nucleotide base pairs into a DNA
sequence

A

Insertion mutation

44
Q

Type of gene mutation
- A part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is lost during DNA replication.
- Any number of nucleotides can be deleted, from a single base to an entire piece of chromosome

A

Deletion mutation
