(111 cards)
1
Q
AUTOSOMES - how many?
A
22 pairs of AUTOSOMES (any chromosome not a sex hormone)
2
Q
how many sex chromosomes
A
1 pair of sex chromosomes
3
Q
chromosome
A
how you get your genes from your parents. located in nucleus.
4
Q
genes are a
A
portion of DNA
5
Q
GENOTYPE
A
GENOTYPE = the genetic makeup of an individual when discussing a specific gene pair (can also be used to refer to an individual’s entire genetic makeup)
6
Q
PHENOTYPE
A
PHENOTYPE = the observable expression of an individual’s genotype, such as physical features, a biochemical or molecular trait, or a psychological trait.
7
Q
DOMINANT
A
DOMINANT = expressed (or phenotypically apparent) when only one copy of an allele is associated with the trait present.
8
Q
RECESSIVE
A
RECESSIVE = expressed only when two copies of the alleles associated with the trait are present.
9
Q
Karyotype (number forms the size of kary)
A
Pictorial analysis of number, form, and size of an individual’s chromosomes
Commonly uses white blood cells and fetal cells in amniotic fluid. used to test for diseases. what’s individual to you.
10
Q
how do we get chromosomal abnormalities? (3 things)
A
Inherited
Spontaneous
Acquired
11
Q
abnormality of chromosomal number (somi is abnormal)
A
Monosomies (just one); trisomy’s (one extra, 3)
Polyploidy
12
Q
abnormality of chromosome structure (dit structure)
A
Deletions
Inversions
Translocations
13
Q
sex chrome abnormality
A
ambiguous gender at birth
14
Q
Deviations (poly ane is a deviant)
A
Polyploidy
Aneuploidy
Aneuploidy is the phenomenon in which a cell can have one or a couple of chromosomes missing or present in surplus. On the other hand, polyploidy refers to the presence of extra complete sets of chromosomes
15
Q
Polyploidy (poly is an incompatible exact copy)
A
Polyploidy – the deviations is an exact multiple of the haploid number of a set of chromosomes. 3 sets of chromosomes. ( incompatible with life)
16
Q
Aneuploidy (ana is not exactly a trisomy)
A
the deviation is not an exact multiple of the haploid set. This is Monosomies and trisomy’s. Trisomy the most common.

common
19
Q
chromosomal abnormality structure - translocation
A
exchange of chromosomal material, can occur in any chromosome.
20
Q
Autosomal Dominant Inheritance
A
Only one copy of the variant (the bad one) allele is needed for phenotypic expression.
21
Q
Heterozygous
A
you have a 50% chance of passing it on a variant.
22
Q
Vertical Transmission
A
the transfer of genetic material is from parents to offspring
23
Q
Autosomal Recessive Inheritance (you can’t see recessive)
A
2 carriers of variant, they don’t express it. 25% of offspring are affected, 25% are unaffected, and 50% are carriers.
24
Q

A
will be on the test
25
x-linked inheritence (no X for males)
Mimics autosomal dominant except no male-to-male transmission. (male doesn't pass on X to male)

54
Prior to fertilization, the ovum and the spermatozoon undergo the process of
meiosis
55
When ovum and the spermatozoon come together to form the zygote, how many chromosomes?
this forms the zygote. the normal human diploid number of chromosomes (combination of two sets, i.e., 46) is established.
56
Stages of Fetal Development (just 3 - easy) (7,8)
Pre-embryonic stage, Embryonic stage, Fetal stage
57
Pre-embryonic stage: where does fertilization occur? and when is morula formed? (morula cleavage)
Fertilized egg know as the zygote (contains 23 chromosomes from female and 23 chromosomes from male), Fertilization takes place in the outer 3rd of the Fallopian tube, Cleavage (mitosis) occurs as zygote makes it way to the uterus, Morula formed after 4 cleavages (16 cells)
58
stages of fetal development (the morula blasts the trophy)
The Morula divides into specialized cells that will later become fetal structures, The inner layer of cells called the Blastocyst will form the embryo and then the amnion, The outer layer of cells, called the trophoblast will eventually form the placenta
59
Chorionic Villi develop from (cory is a trophy)
the Trophoblasts
60
The three embryonic layers of cells formed are: (embryo is eme)
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
