Term
Fertilization of a haploid results in...
Definition
a Diploid Zygote which then undergoes mitosis
Term
Primary Spermatocytes have ______ chromosomes?
Definition
46
Term
Secondary Sperocytes have ____ ______________ chromosomes at __________________ (What stage)
Definition
23, duplicated, end of meiosis I
Term
What differentiates into sperm (spermatozoa)
Definition
spermatids
Term
Spermatids are from _______ and have ____ chromosomes
Definition
secondary spermocytes, 23
Term
Primary Oocytes have ___ chromosomes and divides ___________ into ___ cells with _____ chromosomes in each
Definition
46, meiotically, 2, 23
Term
In Oogenesis what is the difference between the two cells that the primary oocyte meiotically divides into?
Definition
The secondary oocyte receives all the cytoplasm and the other cell becomes a polar body
Term
Where does the secondary oocyte come from and what happens to it?
Definition
The secondary oocyte is the result of the division of a primary oocyte. It receives all the cytoplasm of the primary oocyte. It begins Meiosis II but stops at metaphase II. IF fertilized it completes Meiosis II.
Term
From a primary oocyte, females produce...
Definition
1 egg and 3 polar bodies
Term
What things cause Chromosomal mutations?
Definition
DDIT:
Deletions, Duplications, Inversions, Translocations
Term
What does "Nondisjunction" mean?
Definition
Chromosomes do not sort properly during cell division. During meiosis nondisjunction can produce gametes with too many or too few chromosomes
Term
What does euploid, diploid, and polyploid mean?
Definition
Eupoloid is a chromosome number that is viewed as normal, Diploid organisms are organisms in which 2 sets of chromosomes is normal, Polyploid is an organism in which 3 or more sets of chromosomes is normal
Term
What is Aneuploidy? How does it happen? What does it cause?
Definition
A birth defect caused by chromosomes not separating properly between the two cells during cell division. Generally happens when cytokinesis starts before karyokinesis finishes. It causes an extra or missing chromosome in the zygote.
Term
What is Trisomic? How does it happen? What does it cause?
Definition
Term
What is Monosomic? How does it happen? What does it cause?
Definition
Term
Aneuploidy Statistics in humans. % is happens, % of spontaneous abortions caused by it
Definition
5-10%, 50%
Term
What causes mental impairment, abnormal pattern of palm creases, slanted eyes, flattened face, and a short stature? (Down Syndrome) 1/800 live births
Definition
Characteristics of Aneuploid trisomy of chromosome 21
Term
What causes mental and physical impairment, facial abnormalities, extreme muscle tone, and early death? (Edward syndrome) 1/6000 live births
Definition
Characteristics of Aneuploid trisomy of chromosome 18
Term
What causes mental and physical impairment, wide variety of defects in the organs, large triangular nose, and early death? (Patau Syndrome) 1/15000 live births
Definition
Characteristics of Aneuploid trisomy of chromosome 13
Term
What causes sexual immaturity (no sperm) and breast swelling in males? (Klinefelter syndrome) 1/1000 males
Definition
Aneuploidy of sex chromosomes resulting in XXY
Term
What causes abnormal height (tall) as in Jacobs syndrome? 1/1000 males
Definition
Aneuploidy of sex chromosomes resulting in XYY
Term
What causes abnormal tallness and thinness accompanied by menstrual irregularity in women? (Triple X syndrome) 1/1500 females
Definition
Aneuploidy of sex chromosomes resulting in XXX
Term
What causes short stature, webbed neck, and sexually undeveloped females? (Turner Syndrome) 1/5000 females
Definition
Aneuploidy of sex chromosomes resulting in XO
Term
What did Mendel conclude from his studies?
Definition
traits stay segregated, not blended. Variations in appearance are due to alternate versions of heritable factors. Organisms receive 2 versions of each factor from each parent. If heritable factors are different, the dominant factor is expressed and the recessive factor is masked.
Term
How do you determine the genotype of a parent with the dominant phenotype?
Definition
Cross parent with a homozygous recessive individual. If the parent being tested in homozygous all the offspring will be the dominant phenotype. If they are heterozygous half of the offspring with have the recessive phenotype
