Transcript DNA and the Chromosome

Chromosomes, Cell Division & DNA
concepts from
Chapters 16 & 17 & 18
Chapter 16 outline*

DNA and the Chromosome
– The building blocks
– Description of a karyotype

Somatic Cells
– Cell cycle
– Mitosis

Reproductive cells
– Meiosis (* this topic can be found in ch. 17)
What is…

DNA

A Chromosome
DNA is composed of millions of nucleotides
THE DNA MOLECULE
Diploid Cell
23 pairs or 46 chromosomes
44 autosomes
2 sex chromosome
How do all of our nonreproductive cells divide & keep
46 chromosomes?
Somatic Cell Division
The cell cycle
Mitosis
prophase
anaphase
metaphase
telophase
Mitosis

Mitosis (includes cell wall)
How many chromosomes do our
reproductive cells have and how do
they divide?
23 chromosomes
&
Meiosis

Mitosis versus meisosis
MEISOSIS and FERTILZATION
23 + 23 =46

Patterns of Heredity

Gregor Mendel
– Punnett Square

Dominant versus Recessive Traits
– Alleles

Autosomal versus Sex linked Traits
– Autosomes versus sex chromsomes
Diploid Cell
Karotype
44 autosomes
2 sex chromosome
Mendelian Genetics
1822-1884
Mendel states

Alternative versions of genes= allele

An organism inherits two genes that segregate independently
Mendel also states

Dominant and recessive alleles
Predict genotype and phenotype by

Punnett Square
First, let’s see how to use the:

The Punnett Square
Punnett Square
curly ears= recessive
“normal” ears=dominant
Cc mates with cc what will the offspring look like?
Look at those ears!
Look at those ears!
Punnett Square: Cc x cc

Mono-hybrid cross
A single trait
Tall is dominant
Short is recessive
Result of di-hybrid crosses
Cystic Fibrosis: Autosomal Recessive Trait
Autosomal Dominant: Familial
Hypercholesterolemia
(gene dosage effect is observed)

Affects 1:500
cholesterol
Incomplete Dominance

Some traits show
“incomplete dominance”
Sickle cell trait

Incomplete
Dominance
Blood Transfusions & Inheritance of
Blood Types and
Inheritance can sometimes show:

Co-Dominance
Brief Summary

Autosomal traits
–
–
–
–
Hypercholesteremia
Cystic fibrosis
Sickle cell trait
Blood type

Trait are considered either:
–
–
–
–
Dominant
Recessive
Incomplete dominant
Co-dominant
Sex-Linked Traits
COLOR BLINDNESS
Hemophilia
Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy

Recessive Sex Linked (X-chromosome)

Males Affected
Sex-influenced Genes

Patterned Baldness
Rogaine
Vasodialor
Propecia
5 alpha R. inhibito
Polygenic Traits
Skin Pigmentation
Multiple genes for melanin: 3-6
 Each has 2 alleles
 Neither allele is dominant


Additional pigmentation genes can
contribute to skin color
Trisomy
Extra “X” Sex Chromosomes

Klinefelter Syndrome
– XXY
– 1:1000 occurrence
– Males
Turner Syndrome
1:10,000
Example of Pedigrees or
Family Trees
Autosomal recessive
Autosomal dominant
Cloning of a whole organism.
Cloning is a process of
providing identical replicates
of DNA.
Hello Dolly!!!!!
How to process begins using a
human cell as an example:

Somatic Cell
Germ Cell
For ex. Mammary cell

Uncertainty: Does the
offspring represent the
molecular age of the donor or
of a newborn?
