People with Hemophilia are born with...
Who are missing one of the proteins needed for blood clotting?
True or False: People with Hemophilia cannot live normal lives, even with treatment
FALSE
Instructions for proteins
When you injure yourself, these proteins all connect and work together to form a solid clot

People with Hemophilia are missing certain proteins because they have a problem with this
What is one of their genes
DAILY DOUBLE!!!
Doctors can replace clotting factor proteins by...
Injecting a patient with the protein they are missing/Hamsters genes
Homozygous
When someone has two copies of the same gene
The function of a clotting factor protein is to...
Join together to form a scab
Which Despicable Me Movie came out in 2017?
Despicable Me 3
The number of clotting factor proteins that we have
13
True or False: Protein injections only need to happen one time because doing this will change the proteins that your body produces (Explain why)
False - Injecting proteins does not change the proteins your body produces, so injections need to happen often
Heterozygous
When someone has two different copies of a gene
Our genes provide the instructions to create the proteins we need!

Healthy people have this so they don't have Hemophilia
At least one copy of the gene that provides instructions for making clotting factor proteins
Inserting human genes into hamster chromosomes

This is where genes live in the cell's nucleus
I would expect the structure of a clotting factor to be...
*Answer may vary*
What team does Erling Halland play for?
Manchester City or Dortman
Why does a heterozygous person make 2 different kinds of protein?
Because each of their gene copies gives instructions to make a different type of protein. When someone is heterozygous, they have 2 different gene copies. Therefore, they will make 2 different proteins for that feature.
This is how hamster cells can create human clotting factor proteins
The cell makes clotting factor proteins that are identical to the type that humans make. As long as the cell has instructions for the proteins (genes), they will make the right proteins.
Alleles
Different versions of each gene

The function of a protein molecule is determined by which things?
The structure of the protein, and how it connects to other protein molecules.
