Term
What kind of inheritance pattern do colour blindness and haemophilia follow?
Definition
X linked
Term
How do calico/tortoiseshell cats occur?
Definition
Inactivtation of an X chromosome in Xo/Xb cats
if Xo is inactivated, will have black spots
If Xb is inactivated, will have orange spots
(Can't have Xo & Xb activated at once)
Term
What is the carrier frequency equal to?
Definition
2pq
(frequency of Aa individuals)
Term
What is the frequency of AA individuals or aa individuals?
Definition
p^2 or q^2
Term
What is the hardy-weinberg equation?
Definition
p squared + 2pq + q squared = 1
Term
What is an example of a sex-influenced trait?
Definition
male pattern baldness
B1B1 = normal in males & females
B1B2 = normal in females, bald in males
B2B2 = bald in males & females
Term
What is an example of incomplete dominance?
Definition
Red flower X white flower = pink flower
Term
What is an example of co-dominance?
Definition
Black flower X white flower = white & black flower
Term
If an allele produces a range of phenotypes, what is this called?
Definition
allelic heterogenity
Term
If 1 gene can cause a variety of disorders/problems/deviations, what is this called?
Definition
pleiotropy
Term
What is genetic anticipation? Give 3 examples
Definition
when a phenotype is expressed more severely or at a younger age with each generation
e.g. Huntingtons, Myotonic Dystrophy, Fragile X
Term
What is heteroplasmy? How is it related to mitochondrial disorders?
Definition
More than 1 kind of organellular DNA, might have some mutant mitochondria and some normal mitochondria. The proportions vary, so this causes variable expressivity in mitochondrial disorders
Term
True or False
Mitochondrial genes are passed on by mother or father
Definition
False
mother only
Term
True or False
Mitochondrial-encoded proteins function only in the mitochondria
Definition
true
Term

Definition
patau syndrome
Term

Definition
21 biv, 1 triv
