Mutations
Part of a chromosome is lost.
Deletion
Disease in which red blood cells have an unusual shape.
Sickle-Cell Anemia
Along with the genes, it effects an organism's appearance.
The environment
DAILY DOUBLE!!!!!!!
They are the substances that cause mutations.
Mutagens
It is a change in chromosome structure or number.
Mutation
When a piece of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches upside down.
Inversion
This type of tissue deteriorates when a person has Tay-Sachs.
Brain Tissue (or brain)
The location that mutations must occur in order for them to be passed on to the next generation.
It is the part of a chromosome that does not code for a protein.
Junk DNA
Polyploidy
When a piece of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to a nonhomologous chromosome.
Translocation
A person with this disease cannot metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine.
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
Carriers of sickle-cell anemia have resistance to this disease.
Malaria
They are used to cut DNA into fragments.
Restriction Enzymes
A mixture of DNA that is not found in nature.
Recombinant DNA
When a piece of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to a homologous chromosome.
Addition
It is the removal and testing of the amniotic fluid.
Amniocentesis
Individuals with Down's Syndrome have an extra chromosome at this numbered "pair."
"pair" 21
It is when closely related individuals are mated.
Inbreeding
The individuals with the most desirable traits are mated.
Selective Breeding
Mutation that results in a complete extra set of chromosomes.
Polyploidy
It is made using an enlarged photograph of chromosomes.
Karyotype
It is when individuals that are not closely related are mated.
Hybridization.
It is an organism that contains recombinant DNA.
Transgenic Organism
It separates different length DNA fragments to make a DNA fingerprint.
