Genetics - Mind Map

Genetics

Gene therapy/Genetic Counselling Terms

Haplodiploid system
When an individual cannot have a father because there birth is either due to being born without fertilization or with fertilization

Pedigrees

Diagram that shows genetic relationship of the family

Genetic testing

The purpose of genetic testing is to see (in advance) the karyotype of the baby in the amniotic fluid to see if their are an chromosomal abnormalities

Prenatal testing

To see if there are any issues with the baby and what they should consider if these facts and information becomes true.

CVS

Chorionic Villus sampling

Used to see if their are any abnormalities in the baby by looking at the plantera cells, the cells that will make up the fetus



NTS/

Nuchal translucency screening

used to see the anatomy of the baby the heart beat of the baby and the liquid behind the neck of the baby to see if any abnormalities are present



Genetic counseling

Genetic counseling is what some parents go to to see what they need to do in order to help the baby the best way that they can even with it’s abnormalities

Extra terms

Human Karyotype

A karyotype is a photographic representation of the chromosomes of a single cell, cut and arranged in pairs based on their banding pattern and size

Heredity:

the passing of traits from parents to offspring

Genetics:

Study of genes from parent to offspring

DNA

Dna has a big impact on what traits an organism may have. Dna have coded messages. IE Blond hair, black hair.

Dna are composed of two molecules arranged in a ladder-like structure called a double Helix

What are the four bases?

Adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine

AT and GC will always be bonded together no g will bont with a t or a/ no c either.

Codons

A base of arranged triplets
These codons create proteins and if one amino acid is different it can change the entire code.

loci

the location of a gene

Reproduction Terms

Asexual reproduction
They do not need meiosis because they give rise to offspring identical to themselves, limits variety

Prokaryotes are the only ones that reproduce asexualy



Better for mass reproduction

Sexual reproduction



Offspring become very different from the parent

Requires more energy and more time than asexual reproduction

Are better at adapting because of their variety due to the difference in individuals



Diploid (Double)


Has homologous pairs of chromosomes. Humans have 2n 46



Haploid (Half)





Organism or cell has only one set of chromosomes N, 23


Somatic Cells




All body cells of an organisms

Bone, skin



Reproductive cells

Only found in reproductive areas

Gametes

Male in testes

Female in ovaries



SPERMATOGENESIS:



1 spermatogonium (the parent cell) contains 78 chromosomes and will undergo meiosis to produce 4 haploid sperm cells. These 4 sperm cells each contain half the amount of original chromosomes (i.e. 39 chromosomes).

Oogenesis

the production of ovaries in women body

Four cells get genetics and dna but

One haploid stationary the other 3 are non viable polar bodies




Fertilization



Ovum is released, sperm and ovum can meet

Results in the formation of the zygote

23 M + 23 F meets to form a zygote (2n)

Example of literary work

Agatha Christie - And Then There Were None

Literary Work

Example of real world

A divorcing couple

Conflict of real world

Cell Cycle and Mitosis

Interphase

Super long strand of chromatin
Chromosome of one chromatid duplicates to make another clone.
They become sister chromatids

G1 phase= growth

S phase = DNA synthesis

G2= Cell functions, growth,prepares for division

Mitosis

Prophase

Pair
Chromatid condensed to form chromosomes,
Nuclear membrane breaks down

Duplicated centrioles migrate to opposite poles

Spindle fibers begin to form

Metaphase

Middle
Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes centromere and align along equatorial plate
Each sister chromatid faces opposite poles

Anaphase

Apart
Centromere splits
Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles by spindle fibers

Telophase

Two
Nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromatids
Spindle fibers disappear

Chromatids decondense into chromatin

Cytokinesis

Final division of the cytoplasm and organelles
Occurs at the end of mitosis and beginning of interphase
Animal cells

Cleavage furrow pinches cell membrane in splitting cell in two

Plant cell

Cell plate forms and eventually becomes cell wall splitting the cells into two

Meiosis

I

Prophase

90% is spent in prophase
Chromosomes condense
Synapsis occurs: When Homologous chromosomes come together and form a tetrad (Through size, shape and type of gene they code for)

Crossing over Diversifies the chromosomes (homologous pair) “Chiasmata”

Metaphase

Shortest phase
Tetrads align on the metaphase plate The middle in pairs of two 12(horizontal)
independent assortment increases genetic variability

Orientation of homologous pairs to poles is random variation

The way the tetrads are arranged influence the genetic variation in the sperm and egg

Anaphase

Homologous pairs separate and move towards the poles,
Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres
Pulling the chromosomes away from each other not the chromatids

Telophase

Each pole has haploid set of chromosomes
Cytokinesis occurs and two haploid daughter cells are formed

II

Similar as Mitosis

Errors in meiosis

Chromosomal Abnormalties

If you have an extra copy of chromosomes 3 instead of one then you’ll be diagnosed with trisomy 21 -down syndrome
Older parents are more likely to have chromosomal abnormalities
It can go from 100% to chromosomal abnormalities to 50% just by when the nondisjunction occurs

Chromosomes structure

Duplication
Specific code gets duplicated
Deletion

A portion of the code gets deleted

Inversion

A portion of the code gets inverted

Translocation

An entire segment of code is shifter into the wrong location
