Modes of Inheritance
Basic Science Review
100
Classic (Type A) hemophilia results in a defect in this clotting factor.
What is Factor VIII
100
In humans, it is the number of polar bodies made for every oogonium that undergoes meiosis to produce an ovum.
What is two
100
On a pedigree chart, this shape indicates a female individual
What is a circle
100
It is the mode of inheritance for sickle cell anemia
What is autosomal recessive
100
It is the process by which a protein is created at the cellular ribosomes using RNA as the blueprint
What is translation
200
This disease is caused by two copies of a single nucleotide mutation on Chromosome 11 that changes the corresponding amino acid from valine to glutamic acid.
What is sickle cell disease
200
It is the number of polar bodies created when a single spermatogonium creates spermatid.
What is none
200
This signifies the observable characteristics or traits resulting from the expression of a genotype.
What is the phenotype
200
It is the mode of inheritance of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy
What is x-linked dominant
200
These are the portions of a DNA that do not code for amino acids and are removed in the process of RNA splicing
What is an intron
300
This disease is caused by a trinucleotide CGG repeat which impairs function of a protein required for neurologic development.
What is Fragile X
300
This is the cellular apparatus which attaches to chromosomes in metaphase and pulls them apart during anaphase and telophase.
What are microtubules
300
On a pedigree chart, a shape that is half shaded black and half white indicates this.
What is a carrier or heterozygote.
300
It is the mode of inheritance of Fragile X and Incontinentia Pigmenti
What is x-linked dominant
300
It is the letter designation given to the short arm of an acrocentric chromosome.
What is p
400
This disease can cause congenital absence of the vas deferens in males.
What is cystic fibrosis
400
In females, meiosis is suspended at this particular phase before birth until menarche occurs.
What is prophase I
400
This disease is caused by a somatic translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 called the Philadelphia chromosome
What is CML
400
In this type of inheritance, all of the genetic material is passed down from mother to offspring.
What is mitochondrial inheritance
400
This is the name of a 3 nucleotide sequence that corresponds to a particular amino acid
What is a codon
500
This rare disease is caused by a partial monosome of Chromosome 5 (deletion at end of p-arm)
What is Cri-du-chat
500
In females, oocytes mature with ovulation and are suspended in this specific phase until fertilization occurs.
What is Metaphase II
500
This type of chromosomal rearrangement involves swapping of two chromosomal fragments at the centromere.
What is a Robertsonian translocation
500
It is the mode of inheritance for Huntington's Disease
What is autosomal dominant
500
This nucleotide base is substituted for thymine in RNA
What is uracil
