Study Notes
Genetics System Review
- DNA structure is a double helix composed of nucleotides.
- Nucleotides consist of a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine).
- Cytosine bonds with guanine via two hydrogen bonds, and adenine bonds with thymine via three hydrogen bonds.
- Chargaff's rule: A=T and G=C, meaning the amount of adenine equals thymine, and the amount of guanine equals cytosine.
DNA Study Facts & Review
- Genes in DNA determine organism characteristics.
- Mutations are alterations in DNA caused by chemicals, natural processes, or radiation.
- Mutations can happen during DNA replication.
- A chromosome has telomeres (chromosome ends), a centromere (chromosome middle), and chromatids (chromosome halves).
DNA Replication Notes
- DNA has a structure that allows for easy copying.
- The DNA molecule unzips and each side becomes a template for a new complementary half.
- The resulting two DNA molecules are identical.
Cell Division Review
- DNA must replicate for new cells to receive complete genetic information.
- Cells divide for asexual reproduction, growth, and repair.
- Mitosis creates identical daughter cells.
- Mitosis involves division of the nuclear material (cytokinesis) and cytoplasm.
- Interphase is the main stage of cell cycle with three stages first being G1 which is cell growth, S phase which is DNA replication, and G2 which is cell preparation for mitosis.
- Prophase: Centrioles move to opposite cell poles, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, dissolution of nuclear membrane and spindle fibers.
- Metaphase: Chromosomes line up across cell equator, spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.
- Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
- Telophase: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelopes reform, cytokinesis occurs – cell membrane pinches inward.
Asexual vs Sexual Reproduction
- Mitosis maintains chromosome numbers and is for asexual reproduction and growth.
- Meiosis produces gametes with half the chromosome count for sexual reproduction.
- Asexual reproduction involves single parent, creating identical offspring (clones).
Meiosis & Mitosis Reproduction
- Meiosis involves two divisions (meiosis I and meiosis II) to reduce chromosome number.
- Meiosis produces four daughter cells.
- Meiosis includes prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I/cytokinesis.
- Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells to maintain the number of the chromosomes.
- Meiosis involves interphase and meiosis I and II each following the PMAT stages.
Karyotype Practice Study Questions
- A karyotype is a genetic test examining chromosome structure, size, and number.
- A normal human has 46 chromosomes (23 pairs).
- Karyotypes assess for missing, extra, or structurally altered chromosomes.
- Karyotypes are used to detect genetic disorders or birth defects.
How to Remember It All
- Homozygous: "same" as matching pairs
- Heterozygous: "different" with unmatching pairs
- Genotype: Genetic makeup (letters, e.g., TT)
- Phenotype: Physical traits (appearance, e.g., tall)
Punnett Squares: Predicting Traits Like a Pro!
- Punnett squares are a tool to predict genetic outcomes.
- It involves mixing parental genes to calculate possible offspring genotypes and phenotypes.
Dihybrid Crosses: In-Depth Study Notes
- Dihybrid cross involves two traits.
- Mendel's second law (independent assortment) states genes for different traits are inherited independently. This explains how combinations of traits emerge in offspring
Blood Cells Genetics Review
- Blood types (A, B, AB, O) are determined by alleles (IA, IB, i).
- IA and IB are co-dominant, and i is recessive.
- Blood type compatibility is determined by the antigens on red blood cells.
- Rh factor is another protein on red blood cells.
Mendelian Genetics: The Blueprint of Heredity
- Law of Segregation: Each organism carries two alleles for each trait, that segregate during gamete formation.
- Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are inherited independently ,assuming they're located on different chromosomes.
- Law of Dominance: In a pair of alleles, one may mask the expression of the other (dominant allele).
Non-Mendelian Genetics: The Rainbow Beyond Dominance
- Incomplete dominance: A blended phenotype; neither allele is completely dominant (e.g., red x white snapdragon = pink).
- Codominance: Both alleles are fully expressed in the phenotype (e.g., speckled chickens show both black and white feathers without blending).
Sex Linked Inheritance Notes
- Sex chromosomes (X and Y) differ in size and carry different information.
- X-linked traits are more common in males because they have only one X chromosome.
- Sex-linked traits are carried on the X chromosome.
Chromosomal Mutations Notes
- Karyotype: A visual display of an organism's chromosomes, used to detect abnormalities.
- Mistakes in meiosis (nondisjunction), or failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate, can result in an abnormal chromosome number.
- Errors in crossing over can cause chromosomal mutations like duplication, deletion, inversion, or translocation.
X-Linked / Sex Linked Disorders
- X-linked disorders are genetic conditions caused by mutations in genes located on the X-chromosome.
- Males are more commonly affected because they have only one X-chromosome, so the affected allele on the X-chromosome expresses itself.
