Genetics

Transcript: More than two alleles for a trait (an individual still only inherits two) Ex: Blood Type (IA,IB, i) Type A = IAIA or IAi Type B = IBIB or IBi Type AB= IAIB Type O = ii Sex Chromosomes Female = XX Male = XY Sex linked traits are carried on the X chromosome Ex: Hemophilia, red-green colorblindness Heterochromia Iridum A permanent change in the DNA sequence Genotype and phenotype genotype is the actual allele and individual has for a trait phenotype is the actual characteristic displayed by the individual. Heterochromia Iridum is a condition which occurs in humans, dogs, and cats. It causes one eye's iris to be a color such as brown or blue while the other eye's iris is another color like green or hazel. Cancer A pedigree is a representation of genetic inheritence. KARYOTYPES :Analyzing of chromosomes for abnormalities usually involves blocking cells in mitosis and staining the condensed chromosomes with Giemsa dye. dye stains regions of chromosomes that are rich in the base pairs Adenine and Thymine producing a dark band. The bands don’t represent single genes, but in fact the thinnest bands contain over a million base pairs and potentially hundreds of genes For example, the size of one small band is about equal to the entire genetic information for one bacterium. Error in cell cycle which causes uncontrolled cell growth Has environment and genetic variables Recessive Allele Represented by a lower case letter Hidden unless paired with another recessive allele WHAT IS A MUTATION? A mutation does not resolve in having different appearance and it does not deal with having physical features. How is this important to mutations? KEy Examples that can cause mutations: Radiation (x-rays, UV, and nuclear) Chemicals Extremely high temperatures MUTATION G E N E T I C S Multiple allels Homozygous and heterozygerous sex linked traits Genetics-The study of heredity and the variation of inherited characteristics. Dominant Alleles represented by a capital letter Expressed if present Cell division Produces four different haploid daughter cells (gametes) Occurs in sex cells to form gametes Each gamete has a diverse mixture of that parent’s genes Mutagen- an agent that can cause a mutation. Homozygous Both alleles are the same Ex. BB or bb Heterozygous Both alleles are different Ex. Bb Pedigree Meiosis

Transcript: Affects 1 out of 50,000 people in the US. Affects both Female and Males It does not depend where you are to get this disease. "Friedreich's Ataxia Fact Sheet." Friedreich's Ataxia Fact Sheet. N.p., n.d. Web. 17 Mar. 2016. <http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/friedreichs_ataxia/detail_friedreichs_ataxia.htm>. Symptoms Connection to me? Unfortuantly I have a family member with this disease. But at the same time I have been blessed. Whither its swimming in the pool over the summer or simply seeing her at Sunday dinner. I am so lucky to have a cousin so inspirational, and amazing to look up to. She is the smartest person I know. She is currently studying at WCU. Hayley Morris is an inspiration to so many people too. I could not find out where my disease is located. "I think yes. I played sports when I was younger before I was diagnosed and they were my life. I thought my future would include playing sports in college and beyond. Once I was diagnosed with FA and I had to give up sports, it was really hard at first but it helped me find other things that I enjoyed doing like traveling, reading and spending time with family and friends and it gave me a lot more time to focus on school. Instead of all my competitiveness being focused on sports, I became really competitive in school and found a love for learning new things!" Hayley Morris, Age 20, and is fighting FA. A rare and serious genetic disease. You are born with it, but doesn't come until later on in life. It impossible to know you have it, until symptoms appear. Over time it will take away your ability to walk, ability to move your arms and legs correctly and make it harder to talk and see. The disease causes damage to your spine, spinal cord your nervous system, and sometimes your heart all at the same time. As of right now there is no cure for the disease. Affects 1 out of 50,000 people in the US. People are diagnosed between 5-15 years old. The average life span of these patients is 37, based off an study in 1981. Recessive trait In order to get the disease both the parents must carry the trait. Benefits? What is this? Global?

Genetics: disorder powerpoint

Transcript: Cognition: - 25% of all cases - the embrio inherits both copies of chromosome 15 from the mother. - How does this happen? - This is more likely to happen in older women than younger women. - This can cause additional genetic problems or conditions - Sex hormone levels are typically low A disorder of Chromosome 15 Speech: Mode of Inheritance - delayed speech Appetite Disorder: Detecton - Their findings showed that heart rate variability, an indicator of ANS function, was not normal in people with PWS - in a healthy person, the time between one hearbeat and the next varies considerably during a meal because the ANS is actively regulating the body's response to food and body flow. - in people with PWS, hearbeates were far too regular after a meal. Other Common Concerns - have a high risk of cardiovascular disease - An Australian study reveals that people with PWS may have an impaired autonomic nervous system. This discovery opens up a new way of looking at their appetite issues. - autonomic nervous system: controls our inner organs, including our gut, heart, liver, and blood vessels. it responds moment-by-moment to the body's needs. Clinical Description of the Disorder - Motor milestones are typicallt delayed one to two years -Physical and occupational therapies help promote skill development and proper function Behavior Issues: Other interesting info. Weight and Behavior - IQs range from low to average - those with normal IQs typically have learning disabilities - Problem areas: attention, short term auditory memory, and abstract thinking Treatment - Compulsive eating and obsession with food usually begin before age 6. - The urge to eat is phsycological and overwhelming; it is difficult to control and requires constant watch. INTRODUCTION - the embrio has three copies of chromosome 15 - two from the mother (trisomy 15) - later the father's chromosome 15 is lost - has the same result as deletion --> the baby does not have the Prader-willi gene - although there are two copies of the mothers chromosome 15, the key genes in the PWS region are turned off - Currently, there is no cure for PWS. - Treatment is based on curing specific symptoms of the disorder as they arise. - Human growth hormone (HGH): Increases hight, deacreases body fat, increases muscle mass, improves weight distribution, increases stamina, and increases bone mineral density. it can also help behavioral problems - the inibility to control food intake is the biggest opstical that still has no cure; however, they can use anti-obesity drugs. - sleep problems can be helped with modafinil. Motor Skills: - Infants and young children with PWS are typically happy and loving, and exhibit few behavior problems. - Most older children and adults with PWS have difficulties with behavior regulation, manifested as difficulties with transitions and unanticipated changes. - The changes in behavior usually coincide with the uncontrollable need to eat Sexual Development: Scoliosis: can occur early; may be difficult to detect without X-ray. Diabetes mellitus, type II: Secondary to obesity; responds well to weight loss; screen obese patients regularly. Sleep disturbances: hypoventilation and desturation during sleep are common, as is daytime sleepiness Skin picking: a common, sometimes severe habit Dental problems: may include soft tooth enamal, thick sticky saliva, poor oral hygiene, and teeth grinding. GENETICS - less than 5% of cases - casued by an imprinting defect inhereited from the fathers chromosome 15 (region q11-q13). - This defect will not allow the normal expression of genes that are active on the chromosome 15 from the father and needed for normal development. - To identify imprinting defects on chromosome 15 requires specialized laboratory techniques available in ony a few genetic labs conducting research on PWS. Developmental Concerns Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) Birth - 2 years of age: - Hypotonia 2 years - 6 years: - Hypotonia - Developmental delay 6 years - 12 years: - continous developmental delay - Excessve eating with central obesity if uncontrolled 13 years - adulthood: - Cognitive disabilities; usually mild mental retardation - Excessive eating - behavior problems: temper tantrums, perseverative and compulsive-like behaviors Paternal Deletion ** Every case of PWS is due to the baby failing to recieve active genes from a specific section of the fathers chromosome 15 --> there are three different ways this can happen... - 70% of all cases - genes from chromosome 15 from the father is missing --> deletion. - common deletions are now classified as Type 1 or Type 2 depending on the size of the deletion. Maternal Uniparental Disomy (UPD) - 1:8,000; 1:25,000; most likely 1:15,000 - occurs in males and females equally - occurs eaqually in all races Autonomic Nervous System Sources: -http://www.pwsausa.org/syndrome/index.htm -http://www.disabled-world.com/disability/types/prader-willi-syndrome.php

DNA and genetics powerpoint

Transcript: Mutation and Variation Genotype and Phenotype Your genotype is your genes for a given trait. Phenotype is basically what you actually turn out to be. Genotype determine phenotype. This can be showed by creating a punnet square or a pedigree. DNA AND GENETICS BASICS OF DNA In a human genome, there's 50'000 to 100'000 genes. DNA is copied over and over again. Sometimes during DNA sequencing mistakes occur and these mistakes are called mutations. Gene mutations occur in a single gene while chromosomal mutations cause changes in a whole chromosome. Mutations can be both harmful and helpful. Down syndrome is a harmful example due to a person being born with an extra chromosome. A mutation that causes sickle cell anemia is helpful. NOW ON TO GENETICS DNA Replication Not all genes follow the whole dominant and recessive rule. Gene for blood type is codominant because if one parent has an A blood type and other has a B blood type then their child will come out with AB blood type. Polygenic traits are controlled by several genes that are contributed. Skin is an example of a polygenic trait. Gregor Mendel's work is an example of cross breeding. Cross breeding in animals create hyprid animals. DNA is a molecule that contains genetic instructions uses for living organisms and many viruses The info in DNA guides cells to make new proteins that determine all of our traits that get passed from generations to generations. DNA is made of four different parts Genes are sections of DNA that are carried on the chromosomes and determine characteristics. Every person has about 25,000 different genes and that's why we have such genetic variation in the world. Heredity is the passing of genes from one generation to another. Genes are either dominant or recessive. Most of the time dominant genes overpower recessive but that can be determine with something called a punnet square. Before a cell can reproduce it must replicate it's DNA. This all depends on if the cell is a prokaryote or a eukaryote. Different types of cells replicate their DNA at different rates. Some cells constantly divide, while others go through rounds of cells division before stopping. Basics of Genes Adenine (A): Purine Cytosine (C): Pyrimidine Guanine (G): Purine Thymine (T): Pyrimidine codominant polygenic and cross breeding FOUR BASES OF DNA
