Additional Biology Flashcards

 


 

Cards

Term
Chromosomes and genes are both presented in pairs of what?
Definition
diploid cells
Term

Homologouse chomosomes separate and alleles segragrate during?

 

 

Definition
Meiosis
Term

Fertilization restores the paired condition for both?

 

Definition
Chromomsomes and genes
Term
How long do fruit flys live?
Definition
2 weeks due to there prolific breeders
Term
wild type?
Definition
the nomal charater phenotype is
Term

Morgan discovered what?

 

Definition
single male fly with white eyes instead of the usual red.
Term

linked genes.

 

Definition

genes located on the same chromosome.

 

They tend to be inherited together as a unit. 

Term
Morgan crossed F1 heterozygous females with?
Definition
homzygous recessive males
Term
The wild-type body color is gray and
Definition
mutan black
Term
The wild-type wing size is normal and the
Definition
mutant has vestigial wings
Term
genetic recombination
Definition
the production of off spring with new combinations of tratis inherited from two parents
Term
Parent types
Definition
Phenotypes that match the original P parents either with yellow round seed or green-wrinkled seeds.
Term
The physical bases of recombination betweem unlinked genes is?
Definition

Randome orientation of homogous chomosomes at mataphase 1

 

Term
In contrast, linked genes located on the same choromosome, tend to move together thorugh
Definition
Meiosis and fertilazation
Term
Under normal mendelian genetic rules
Definition
We would not expect linked genes to recombine into assortments of allels not found in the parents.
Term
reconbination frequency
Definition
recominants Divided by total offspring
Term
chromosome map
Definition
Crossing over the linked genes to develp a methos for contructing this.
Term
Sturtevant
Definition

Hypothesized that frequency of recombinant offspring reflected the distances between genes on a chromosome.

 

 

Term
The greater the distance beween two genes.
Definition
The more points between them where cossing over can occur.
Term
XY
Definition
testes
Term
XX
Definition
Ovaries
Term
anatomical signs of sex appear when the embryo is about
Definition
two months old.
Term
Lacking hte SRY gene
Definition
Generic embryonic gonads develp into ovaries
Term
Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Definition

Affects 1/3,500 males born in the US.

-Rarly to they live past there 20s.

-dues to the absence of an X-linked gene for  a key suscle protien, called dystophin

Term
Hemophilia
Definition

Sex-linked recessive trait defined by the ansence of one or more clotting.

-bleeding in muscles and joints can be painful and lead to serious damage. 

Term
Barr body
Definition

During female development, one X chromosome per cell condenses into a compact object. 

- this inactivates most of its genes.

Term
Heterzygous woman will have patches of
Definition
Normal skin and skin patches lacking sweat glands.
Term
Nondisjunction
Definition
Occurs when problems with the meiotic spindle cause errors in daughter cells
Term
aneuploidy
Definition
Offspring results from fertilization of normal gamete with one after nondisjuntion will have abnormal chomosome number
Term
Trisomic
Definition
cells have three copies of particular chomoosme type and have 2n+1 chomosomes.
Term
Momsomaic
Definition
Cells have only one copy of a particular chomosome type and have 2n-1 chromosomes
Term
Poplypoidy
Definition
Organisms with more that two complete sets of chomosomes have undergone.
Term
Delection
Definition
Occues when a chomosome fragment lacking a centromere is lost during cell division
Term
Duplicaiton
Definition
occurs when a fragment becomes attached as an extra segment to a sister chromatid
Term
inversion
Definition
occurs when a chomosomal fragment reattaches to the original chromosome but in the reverse orientation
Term
translocation
Definition
chromosomal fragment joins a nonhomologous chomosome.
Term
Down syndrome
Definition

dues to three copies of chomosome 21

-affects 1 in 700 children bron in US

 

Term
This may be linked to some age-dependent abnormality in the spinle of checkpoint meiosis, leading to
Definition
nondisjunction
Term
Nondisjuntion ofo sex chromosome produces
Definition
a variety of aneuploid conditions in humans
Term
Klinefelts syndrome XXY male, occurs on in
Definition
2000 births
Term
Males with Y chomosome tend to be
Definition
some what taler than average
Term
Karl correns
Definition
1909 first observed cytoplamic genes in plants
Term
Not all of a eukaryote cell gens are
Definition

located in the nucleus

-found in small circles of DNA in mitochondria dn chloroplast

-THey reproduce themselves
