Linkage
Definition
condition in which two or more loci (genes) tend to be inherited together

Term
Deletions - 2 Types:
Definition
1. Terminal (on the ends)
2. Intercalacy (internal)
Term
Terminal Deletions
Definition
part of chromosome (CENTROMERE) signals for deletions to be okay to preform
Ends are TELOMERES "end caps" not present on deleted piece so it becomes lost and eaten

mental imparement, ranging from learning disabilities to mental retardation
attention deficate and hyperactivity
anxiety and unstable mood
autistics like behavior
long face, large ears, flat feet, and hyperextendale joints
most common in males because on X present bad and females have good that takes over unlike males
more repeats on chromosome that increases change to get syndrome

3. Reversed (backwards of gene insertion)
Term
Duplications
Definition
often a rise from unequal crossing over
Term
Microsatellite Repeat

duplications are common because one or two reads are off clitter and loose C and G
everyone has these and how they preform DNA Fingerprinting despite there shortening and lengthening over time
Term
Rearrangements - 2 Types
Definition
1. Inversions
2. Translocation
Term
Inversion Rearrangements
Definition
segment of chromosome turned 180 degrees
occurs via loopage because loop ends become changed and swaps sides
position affect determines if they are usable or not
Term

2. Pericentric Inversion
Term
Paracentric Inversion
Definition
breaks and arm ratio stays the same during inversion (no centromere involved)
Term
Pericentric Inversion
Definition
breaks and arm ratio changes and involves centromeres
Ex. Chimps and Human Chromosomes #4
Term
Inversion Loop
Definition
what occurs when we line up homologues correctly based on letters despite the lines having paracentric inversions
*** Occurs because we have problems in Meiosis ***
Term
Reciprocal Translocation
Definition
equal exchange or crossover of non homologous chromosomes
Term

occurs when translocation carriers reproduce
Down's can be tract through generations because of the translocation carriers
also can produce normal, Monosomy (lethal), and other translocation carriers

Can an extract from dead bacterial cells genetically transform living cells
Term
4 Methods to Griffith's Experiment
Definition
1. Virulent Bacteria into a Mouse = Dead
2. NonVirulent Bacteria into a Mouse = Living
3. Heated Virulent to Kill Bacteria into a Mouse = Living Mouse
4. Nonvirulent plus heated virulent bacteria = Dead Mouse
Term
Griffith Experiment Conclusion
Definition
Transformation Principle something in the preparation change (transforms) nonvirulent material
Term
1944 - Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty Experiment
Definition
utilized previous findings from Griffith:
Takes Transformation Property and Looks to Find the Transformation Agent
Took Potential Agents (RNA, DNA, Proteins, Lipids, Chromatin)
Term
Avery, MacLeod, and McCarty Experiment
Definition
RNase = Destroy RNA
Protease = Destroy Proteins
DNase = Destroy DNA
took heat killed cells - Treated with one about "ase" Reagent - added to new cell culture
OUTCOME:
RNase and Protease continued to transformation but DNase has NO transformation
"Experiment Supports that DNA is Capable of Transformation"
Term
Avery, McLeod, and McCloud
Practical Outcome
Definition
Nonvirulent bacteria plus heated treated Virulent bacteria plus "ase"
Protease = Dies, agent not destroyed
RNase = Dies, agent not destroyed
Lipase = Dies, agent not destroyed
DNase = Lives, agent destroyed
"The chemistry of transformation lies in a molecule whose compositions is DNA"
BUT DNA is living systems (chromatin)
Term
1952 - Hershey and Chase
Experiment
Definition
used bacteriophage to show DNA is the genetic material
Term
Lifecycle of Phage
Definition
Phage DNA inject DNA into bacteria - Replication and Synthesis of New Bacteriophage - Release Bacterophage
Term
Hershey and Chase Physical Outcome
Definition
Protein Coat with Radioactive Phosphorous leads to phosphorous transfers into radioactive phosphorous
Protein coat with Radioactive Sulfur leads to radioactive sulfur did not transfer
Term
Hershey and Chase Summary
Definition
1. Bacterophage inject DNA into bacterial cells
2. Progeny phage were labeled only with phosphorous
3. DNA is responsible for directing phage Reproduction; Protein is not the genetic material
Term
Overall Summary
Definition
1. Griffith discovered bacterial transformation
2. Avery, et. al. determined that "transforming principle was DNA
3. Hershey and Chase showed that no protein was transmitted by bacterophage, only DNA
4. DNA accepted as the genetic material
