Question | Answer |
---|---|
abnormality of structure (and often function) that arises during embryological development | congenital disorder |
the study of heredity and how traits are passed on through generations | genetics |
How many chromosomes does a human have? | 46; 22 paired autosomes, 2 sex chromosomes |
point at which two chromatids are joined | centromere |
process whereby one cell divides resulting in two daughter cells genetically identical to parent cell | mitosis |
process whereby one cell divides to produce male and female gametes | meiosis |
organized profile of a person's chromosomes | karyotype |
deviation from usual number of chromosomes | aneupoloidy (ex: Turner's syndrome (webbed neck, infertile) and Down's syndrome) |
all of the genetic information contained within the set of chromosomes | genome |
unit of genetic information that determines the particular characteristic of a person | gene |
4 types of gene mutation | deletion; duplication; inversion; translocation |
proportion of individuals carrying a mutation that also expresses the phenotype | penetrance; complete (all) or incomplete (only some) |
tools for screening for genetic disorders in practice | family history; medical history of client; perceptions |
pre-embryonic period | fertilization to 2 weeks |
embryonic period | week 3 to week 8 |
fetal period | week 9 to birth |
hard shell around the oocyte | zona pellucida |
male and female pronuclei fuse creating the _________ | zygote |
series of mitotic divisions, each cell is a blastomere | cleavage |
day 3-4; 16-celled structure | morula |
day 5; the zygote becomes a ________ | blastocyst |
inner cells of the blastocyst are the ________;outer cells of the blastocyst are the _______ | embryoblast; trophoblast |
when does the blastocyst begin to embed into the uterine wall? | day 6 - 7 |
day 8; embryoblast differentiates into _____ and ____ | epiblast and hypoblast (the bilaminar disc) |
day 14; hypoblast cells become columnar and form a thickened circular area called the ____ | prechordal plate (future site of the mouth) |
period where there is greatest susceptibility to teratogens | beginning of embryonic period; week 3 - 5 |
process of establishing the three germ layers to create trilaminar germ disk | gastrulation |
epiblast cells invaginate at the ____________ creating three layers; ___, ____, ____ | primitive streak; ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm |
