Chapters 27-29
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What is spermatogenesis? | Is the process of continues germ cell differentiation to produce spermatozoa, it is initiated at the time of puberty Cell division limited to gametes Mitotic proliferation Meiotic division Cell remodelling |
| What is fetal circulation? | 1 way blood bypass nonaerated lungs way of the foramen ovale-obv circulatory diff btw fetus + neonate is the umbilical arteries + umbilical vein, tk bl to/from the placenta- incl few shunts : 3 shunts: ductus venosus, foramen oval, ductus arteriosus |
| What is dominant allele | under most circumstances they suppress the expression of other alleles |
| What are recessive genes | -usually expressed in humans only when both alleles are exactly the same, or homozygous -can only be expressed in the absence of the dominant allele |
| Phenotype | the observable traits of an organism |
| Genotype | organism's genetic make up for a specific trait |
| What is genetic diversity | The total number of different alleles in a population -when increases: Random mutation, Migration or emigration -when decreases:Founder effect ,Genetic bottleneck, Selective breeding |
| What is the process of Meiosis | -constancy of the chromosome # from one cell generation to the next, Spermatozoa are produced are genetically unlike each other + unlike the cells that produce them. Is the reason for great variation among humans. Caused by crossing over + ind assortment |
| What is incomplete dominance | heterozygote has a phenotype intermediate between that of homozygous-dominant/recessive indivudals An individual who is heterozygous for a particular trait, yet expresses both alleles of that trait, is an example of incomplete dominance |
| What is multiple allele inheritance | The presence of 3 or more alleles for a genetic trait. |
| How does the environment influence genetic expression | Environmental factors such as food, drugs, or exposure to toxins can cause epigenetic changes by altering the way molecules bind to DNA or changing the structure of proteins that DNA wraps around. |
| What are the chromosomes for males and females | -Males typically have two different kinds of sex chromosomes (XY), and are called the heterogametic sex. -Females typically have two of the same kind of sex chromosome (XX), and are called the homogametic sex. |
| What is a chromosomal aberration | Physical and chemical damage or errors during mitosis or meiosis can damage chromosomes or alter the number of chromosomes in a cell |
| Punnett's squares | a diagram used to visualize genetic crosses and genotype formations in offspring |

| What are sex linked characteristics? | genes located only on X-chromosomes The main way a recessive allele would be expressed even when only one copy is present would be sex-linked inheritance Sex linked characteristics: inherited traits determined by genes on the sex chromosomes |
| Blood type punnett square | Used for blood typing to predict a child's possible genotypes based on the blood types of his parents |
| A blood represents itself as Iai. Type B represents Ibi and determine what blood types their children will have | Half of the children predicted to be Type A and half Type B |
| Gene mutations in sex chromosomes occur more frequently in females or males? | A male with a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome is typically affected with the condition. Because females have two copies of the X chromosome and males have only one X chromosome, X-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. |
