problem #16 on page 227:



Pleiotropy is when One gene has multiple effects
a) Ex
...
Mice the B gene: you can be a black rat or a brown rat
...
If
you have dominant C genes, you have color
...
Height, skin color, hair color, eye color,
b) Opposite of pleitropy

Solve Problem #18 on page 227
...
Elements include: trait, male/female, who is
affected, parents, and offspring
d) Describe a few facts about cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs, sickle
cell anemia, and Huntington’s Disease
...

Cystic fibrosis:
• Causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs
Tay-Sachs:
a) Is Progressive deterioration of nerve cells and of mental and physical
abilities
...

b) Occurs when harmful quantities of cell membrane components called
gangliosides accumulate in the brain’s nerve cells, killing the cells
...
It is an Autosomal
recessive disorder
b) Leads to strokes
Huntington’s Disease:
a) Affects muscle coordination and eventually causes cognitive and
behavioral problems
...

Amniocentesis:

a) Is used to determine if the fetal has genetic abnormalities that could cause
a disability
...

Chorionic villi sampling:
a) Determines chromosomal or genetic disorders in the fetus
...

Chapter 12: Morgan and the Chromosomal Basis of Inheritance
1
...
3 autosomal
sets, one set of sex chromosomes
c) Morgan found a male fly with white eyes instead of the usual red, and then
bred the fly with red-eyed females
...
From this, Conclusion was that the eye color of the fly is sex-linked
2
...
They cause recombinant offspring, which are the offspring that
have the chromosomes that crossed over and therefore have traits from
both parents

What are some examples of these traits?
Solve Problem #1 and #5 on page 244
...
Examples are
Hemophilia, colorblindness, and Duchene’s muscular dystrophy
...
Since males
get one X and one Y chromosome, they don’t have the second X chromosome

to mask traits
...

...
One of the two copies in the X
chromosome is inactivated
...
The choice of which set of chromosomes is inactivated is random in
humans
...
The set that becomes inactive is known as a Barr
Body

Nondisjunction:
a) Is the failure of sister chromatids to divide
...

Aneuploidy:
a) One chromosome pair fails to divide
b) Resulting cells have either n+1 (trisome) or n-1 (monosome)
c) Ex
...
Trisome on chromosome number 18
b
...
There are malfunctions in kidneys,
heart defects
...

b) Resulting cells go from 2nà4n for # of chromosomes
c) Down syndrome is an example
