Compare & Contrast
Eukaryotes vs Prokaryotes
Multicellular- Eukaryotes (more complex)
Single Cellular- Prokaryotes
What is SCA?
Sickle Anemia
Phenotype
Physical appearance
Genetic Cross
mating organisms to produce offspring
Homozygous
both allles are the same BB or bb
DNA vs RNA
DNA- Double Stranded
RNA- Single Stranded
Blood cell strcuture of the affected SCA
Sickle
Genotype
genetics
using one plant
Heterozygous
both alleles are different Bb
Single chromosome vs Multiple Chromosomes
Prokaryotes- Single circular chromosome
Eukaryotes- Mutiple chromosomes
What disease are you protected from if you have SCA?
Malaria- transmitted by mosquitos
Gene
a sequence within your DNA that codes for something specific
Cross pollination
mating two organisms
Purebred
Pure, No crossing BB or bb
DNA base pairs versus RNA base pairs
DNA- A, T, G, C
RNA- A, U, G, C
SCA alleles
bb
Karyotype
a visual represenation of all your chromosomes
Dominant and letter representation
Non Purebred
Some mixture is present Bb
Humans vs Chimps (percentage)
98.8% similar
Which types of alleles could a person with sickle cell have and which is the most ideal pair to have (Bb, BB, or bb)?
Bb-most ideal
BB-increased risk of dying of malaria
bb-increased risk of dying from sickle cell disease
Allele
version of a specific gene
Recessive and letter representation
a trait that gets masked by the dominant trait (lower case letter)
Incomplete Dominance and Codominance
Codominance- multiple traits are dominant
