Cards

Term
Chromosome Theory of Inheritance
Definition
Mendelian genes have specific loci on chromosomes and it is the chromosomes that undergo segregation and independent assortment.
Term
Linked Genes
Definition
genes on same chromosome that are inherited together in genetic crosses
Term
Wild Type
Definition
normal phenotype for a character
Term
Recombinant Types/ Recombinants
Definition
Offspring that have new combinations. Ex on page 278.
Term
Genetic Map
Definition
ordered list of the genetic loci along a particular chromosome
Term
Linkage Map
Definition
genetic map based on recombination frequencies
Term
Map Units
Definition
1 map unit = 1% recombination frequency
Term
Cytogenetic Map
Definition
locate genes with respect to chromosomal features, such as stained bands which can be seen in the microscope
Term
Haplo-diplo system
Definition
Some animals such as bees and ants have no sex chromosomes. Females develop from fertilized ova and are thus diploid. Males develop from unfertilized ova and thus are haploid.
Term
Sex-linked Genes
Definition
A gene located on either sex chromosome. X and Y.
Term
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Definition
sex-linked disorder. Absence of a key muscle protein called dystrophin and have mapped the gene for this protein to a specific locus on the X chromosome
Term
Hemophilia
Definition
sex-linked recessive disorder. Absence of one or more of the proteins required for blood to clot.
Term
Barr Body
Definition
The inactive X in each cell of a female condenses into a compact object called a Barr Body. Inside nuclear envelope.
Term
Non-disjunction
Definition
members of a pair of homologous chromosomes do not move apart properly during meiosis I or sister chromatids fail to separate during meiosis II.
Term
Aneuploidy
Definition
when offspring have an abnormal number of a particular chromosome
Term
Polyloidy
Definition
more than 2 complete chromosome sets
Term
Deletion
Definition
removes a chromosomal segment.
Diagram on pg. 286
Term
Duplication
Definition
repeats a segment.
Diagram on pg. 286
Term
Inversion
Definition
reverses a segment within a chromosome.
Diagram on pg. 286
Term
Translocation
Definition
moves a segment from one chromosome to another, nonhomologous one. RECIPROCAL TRANSLOCATION is most common.
Diagram on page 286
Term
Down Syndrome
Definition
aneuploid condition
Term
Genomic Imprinting
Definition
occurs during formation of the gametes and results in the silencing of one allele of certain genes
