Cards

Term
translation and transcription order
Definition
transcription comes first and then translation
Term
cystic fibrosis is treated with....
Definition
gene replacement
Term
tay-sachs
Definition
-recessive disorder
-treated by gene replacement
Term
produce RNA...
Definition
by process of transcription
Term
use RNA to produce ---- by process of -----
Definition
-protein
-translation
Term
dominant disorder
Definition
-at least one parent has to have it
-every generation
Term
recessive disorder
Definition
-both parents are carriers
-affected individuals from unaffected parents
-heterozygous are unaffected
Term
one goal of personalized medicine
Definition
-predict a persons risk of developing a specific medical condition
Term
disease
Definition
-caused by infection by bacteria or virus
Term
genetic disorder
Definition
-caused by mutation in DNA
Term
cancer
Definition
series of mutations in a single cell
Term
x-linked
Definition
-mostly males
-affected inviduals from unaffected parents
Term
mitosis
Definition
-makes two identical cells
-phrophase, metaphase,anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
-cell reproduction except sperm and egg
Term
meiosis
Definition
-makes 4 identical cells
-phrophase 1, metaphase 1, anaphase 1, telepahse 1, phrophase 2, metaphase 2, anaphase 2, telophase 2, cytokinesis
-cell production for sperm and egg
Term
genetic engineering
Definition
-humans add small piece of DNA with known function to get desired phenotype--can be from any source
Term
selective breeding
Definition
-humans mix large quantities of DNA of unknown function from two individuals by making those individuals and looking for offspring with desired phenotype
-must be from closely related individuals
Term
mutation breeding
Definition
-humans make one or more unknown changes to DNA using a mutagen and look for offspring with desired phenotype
Term
proteom in a particular cell is determined by
Definition
regulation of gene expression
Term
how many alleles for certain gene found in one individual sperm from father
Definition
-one allele
Term
results of human genome project
Definition
-aprox. 25,000 to 30,000 protein producing genes in human genome
Term
frequency of allels in population.....
Definition
-increases if needed
Term
two differeent alleles for same gene found...
Definition
-on the same chromosome
Term
meoisis and cytokines in humans results...
Definition
-in cells that are haploid
-have 23 chromosomes
Term
genetic engeneering versus selective breeding
Definition
-GE crops contain genes from wide variety of species
-selective breeding only contain genes of closely related species
Term
direct test (e-mail)
Definition
-one that looks directly at DNA to determine genotype
Term
indirect test (email)
Definition
-measures phenotype to determine genes
-can only detect something if there is symptoms
-carriers won't have symptoms of disorder
Term
involves increasing amount of specific mRNA inside specific cells in patients body
Definition
-gene replacement therapy
Term
human genome project
Definition
helps us determine what proteins are coded for in our DNA
Term
DNA sequencing
Definition
-arrangement of bases
Term
genome sequecing
Definition
-can be used to find causes of genetic disorders
-does not cure disorders
Term
gene chip
Definition
-testing what alleles are in gene and if they could develop into disorder
Term
indirect testing by looking at metabolites
Definition
-looking at anything but RNA, DNA, and proteins--looking at building blocks
-amino acids
-sugars
-fats
-other small molecules or ions
Term
indirect testing by looking at proteins
Definition
-protein assays: if it is doing its job
Term
carrier testing
Definition
-DNA sample and direct genetic test
Term
predictive testing
Definition
-DNA sample and direct genetic test
Term
6 types of genetic testing
Definition
-newborn screening
-prenatal
-carrier
-predictive
-identification DNA testing
-preimplantation genetic diagnosis
Term
behavior and genetics
Definition
-many behaviors species specific
-pieces of DNA are associated with particular behaviors in individuals
Term
some disorders can't be treated by proteins because
Definition
-they don't inovled protein problems
-injecting allele won't raise activity in brain
-only works when protein does its job in the blood
Term
why protein can be used as a vaccine
Definition
-you expose your body to proteins of bacterias and viruses
-creates immune response
-body produces antibodies
Term
goal of personalized medicine
Definition
-prevention of disease
-liklihood of getting disease
Term
similarities of personalized medicine and behavior genetics
Definition
-if you knew enough about genetic factors and enviormental factors, you could prevent disease and predict behaviors
Term
disease/disorder
Definition
-have problems with the body or how the brain is functioning--medical
Term
behavior/personality trait
Definition
persons choice and don't involve anything medically
Term
x-linked
Definition
bad alleles, not making protein
Term
-in vitro
-in vivo
Definition
-taken out of body, things done to cells, put back into body
-directly injected protein into person, done all inside body
Term
dominant versus recessive
Definition
-dominant: bad protien and always bad
-recessive: can do job most of time but not very well
Term
would gene replacement therapy permantly cure cystic fibrosis
Definition
-no, gene still same gene
-stem cell could work for longer
-makes prtoein
Term
RNAi therapy
Definition
goal is to stop making bad proteins
Term
each cell in body is ----- meaning it -----
Definition
-differentiated
-is expresses different proteins
Term
new drugs involving Cp450 genes
Definition
will be given earlier in disease proces
Term
different parts of behavior definition require...
Definition
-sensing of stimuli: sensors and neurons
-processing and decision making: neurons
-coordinated response: neurons and muscles
