Question
Answer
Mendel’s hereditary factors   show
🗑
show Genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes. Some alleles are dominant while others are recessive; an organism with at least one dominant allele will display the effect of the dominant allele.  
🗑
Chromosome theory of inheritance   show
🗑
What are Chromosomes according to the Boveri-Sutton chromosome theory?   show
🗑
Mendel's laws of inheritance   show
🗑
show The first Mendelian law that states allele pairs separate or segregate during gamete formation, and randomly unite at fertilization.  
🗑
Law of Independent Assortment   show
🗑
show They breed at a high rate where a generation can be bred every two weeks. They have only four pairs of chromosomes and share 75% of the genes that cause disease with humans, so scientists can learn about human genetics by studying fruit fly genetics.  
🗑
Mutant phenotypes   show
🗑
Inheritance of Sex-Linked Genes   show
🗑
How may a recessive sex-linked trait be expressed?   show
🗑
show A male needs only one copy of the sex-linked recessive allele. Example of disorders are color blindness, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Hemophilia.  
🗑
show A Barr body (named after discoverer Murray Barr) is the inactive X chromosome in a female somatic cell, rendered inactive in a process called lyonization.  
🗑
show Genes located on the same chromosome that tend to be inherited together are called linked genes  
🗑
Parental types   show
🗑
Recombinant types   show
🗑
show A particular sequence in a genome at which replication is initiated.  
🗑
show An enzyme that unwinds the double helix of DNA at the replication forks.  
🗑
Single-strand binding protein   show
🗑
show An enzyme which corrects the overwinding strain ahead of replication forks by breaking, swiveling and rejoining DNA strands.  
🗑
DNA polymerase III   show
🗑
Primase   show
🗑
dNTP   show
🗑
show Deoxyadenosine triphosphate; Nucleotide that supplies adenine to DNA  
🗑
show Deoxyguanosine triphosphate; Nucleotide that supplies guanine to DNA.  
🗑
show Deoxycytidine triphosphate; Nucleotide that supplies cytosine to DNA.  
🗑
dTTP   show
🗑
What happens as each monomer of dNTP joins the DNA strand?   show
🗑
Leading strand   show
🗑
show The other new strand which requires the DNA polymerase to work in the direction away from the replication fork.  
🗑
show A series of segments which synthesizes the lagging strand by DNA ligase.  
🗑
show An enzyme which is responsible in removing the RNA nucleotides of primer from 5' end and replaces them with DNA nucleotides at the lagging strand.  
🗑
show Joins 3' end of DNA that replaces primer to rest of leading strand to rest of leading strand an joins Okazaki fragments of lagging strand.  
🗑
Nucleotide excision repair   show
🗑
show The end nucleotide sequences of DNA molecules which postpones the erosion of genes near the ends of DNA molecules. Suggestions that the shortening of telomeres is connected to aging  
🗑
Telomerase   show
🗑
Is there a possible relationship between telomerase activity and cancer?   show
🗑
Nucleoid   show
🗑
Chromatin   show
🗑
Histones   show
🗑
10 nm chromatin fiber   show
🗑
30 nm chromatin fiber   show
🗑
show The 30 nm fibers forms loops called looped domains that attach to a choromosome scaffold made of proteins.  
🗑
700 nm chromatin fiber   show
🗑
Nucleosomes   show
🗑
Euchromatin   show
🗑
Heterochromatin   show
🗑
show The process by which foreign DNA is introduced into a cell. change in genotype and phenotype due to assimilation of foreign DNA.  
🗑
Non-disjunction (Abnormal Chromosome Number)   show
🗑
Aneuploidy   show
🗑
Monosomic zygote   show
🗑
Trisomic zygote   show
🗑
Polyploidy   show
🗑
Triploidy (3n)   show
🗑
Tetraploidy (4n)   show
🗑
What types of changes may occur when there are alterations of chromosome structure?   show
🗑
show Removal of a chromosomal segment.  
🗑
Duplication   show
🗑
Inversion   show
🗑
Translocation   show
🗑
Down syndrome   show
🗑
show The result of an extra chromosome in a male producing XXY individuals.  
🗑
show Monosomy of X, produces X0 females who are sterile.  
🗑
show "Cry of the cat", results from a specific deletion of chromosome 5, where a child born of this syndrome i mentally retarded and has a catlike cry; individuals usually die in infancy or early childhood.  
🗑
Chronic myleogenous leukemia (CML)   show
🗑
What are the two normal exceptions to Mendelian genetics?   show
🗑
show Genes located in the nucleus.  
🗑
Extranuclear genes   show
🗑
show Where the variation of phenotype depends on which parent passed along the alleles for those traits. It is also resulted from the addition of CH3 (methylaton) of DNA.  
🗑
DNA   show
🗑
show Introduced an elegant double helical model.  
🗑
show Suggests Purine + Pyrimidine= width consistent with X-ray data. They determined that A paired with only T and G paired with only C.  
🗑
show A model of replication predicts that when a double helix replicates, each daughter molecule will have one old strand and one newly made strand.  
🗑
Conservative model   show
🗑
show Only one strand of DNA is replicated.  
🗑
Dispersive model   show
🗑
