-
Mendel studied traits in peas that were controlled by just....
2 alleles
-
Can traits be controlled by more than 2 alleles?
yes
-
A trait that is said to be controlled by more than 2 alleles is called...
Multiple Alleles
-
What is human blood type controlled by?
Multiple Alleles
-
Which blood type is both recessive to A and B?
O
-
What is the codominant blood type?
AB
-
What is blood type determined by?
The type of antigen present on the surface of red blood cells
-
O antigen produces what type of Antibodies?
AB
-
AB Antigen produces what type of Antibodies?
O
-
A Antigen produces what type of Antibodies?
B
-
B Antigen produces what type of Antibodies?
A
-
-
-
-
AB antigens is...
AB blood
-
Marker on outside of Red Blood Cells?
Antigen
-
Fights off foreign Red Blood Cells
Antibodies
-
What is the universal donor?
O blood
-
What is the universal recipient?
AB blood
-
Why is O blood the universal donor?
Due to the fact that there is no antigens on the surface of the red blood cells
-
Why is AB blood the universal recipient?
Because they both have A and B antigens on the surface of the red blood cell
-
Why is it important to know your blood types?
Your immune system could reject foreign blood cells. Therefore, transfusing foreign blood cells could be dangerous
-
What is another word for Rh factor?
Rhesus monkey
-
What is Colorblindness caused by?
Recessive Alleles
-
Sex-linked disorder found only on the X chromosome
Colorblindness
-
What is the percentages for Colorblindness in Males and Females?
-
Why can't a male be a carrier for colorblindness?
You can't have more than one X for a male. Since they only have one X they can't be a carrier.
-
What does the blood lack in Hemophilia?
Fibrinogen
-
When does Polygenic Inheritance occur?
When many genes affect a particular trait
-
Give examples of Polygenic Traits
- Skin color
- Eye color
- Height
-
Dominant allele disorder
Huntington's disease
-
Huntington's Disease:
Which chromosome is it?
What age do the symptoms start?
What is it mistaken for?
What is a symptom of it?
What is the result of this disease?
- #4
- 35-40 (middle age)
- Alcholism, Schizophrenia, & bipolar disorder
- Muscle paralysis
- Death (no known cure)
-
How many people does Huntington's Disease affect?
1/50,000
-
Which disease is Neurological degenerative disease?
Huntington
-
Why is HH not possible in Huntington's disease?
There would be a spontaneous abortion because when the body recognizes that you have it, the body rejects the baby.
-
Why can't Hh be a carrier in Huntington's Disease?
If you have a capital allele that just means you have it.
-
Cystic Fibrosis:
Which chromosome?
What is the result of this disease?
What is the age for the result?
-
Genetic Disorder caused by a build up of mucus in the lungs and digestive system
Cystic Fibrosis
-
The most common genetic disorder that causes death in Caucasians?
Cystic Fibrosis
-
A technique for loosening mucus in the airway sot hat it may be coughed out. The doctor taps on certain spots.
Postural Drainage
-

- Black urine
- Build up of proteins in the brain

-
What are the Recessive Genetic Disorders?
(4)

- Sickle Cell Anemia
-
Individuals with Sickle Cell Anemia produce what?
Abnormal hemoglobin
-
A protein found in the red blood cells

-
What happens during Sickle Cell Anemia?
The abnormal hemogoblin molecules pack together to form rods. This causes red blood cells to become sickle shaped.

-
How is Sickle Cell Anemia favorable?
(2)

- 2. Heterozygous individuals are resistant to malaria
-
Tools used to follow a trait through generations of families

Why do geneticists use pedigrees?
To determine the inheritance pattern of a trait
