1706677568The production of offspring with combinations of traits that differ from those found in either parentGenetic recombination0
1706691224Offsprings that have new combinationsRecombinant types1
1706705188Break the physical connection between alleles of genes in the same chromsomeCrossing over2
1706729451Ordered list of genetic loci along a particular chromsomeGenetic map3
1706736699Genetic map based on recombination frequenciesLinkage map4
1706743849Units that express distance between genes by 1%Map units5
1706768866Locate genes respect to chromosomal features, such as stained bands, that can be seen by microscopeCytogenetic maps6
1706783631Member of a pair of homologus chromosomes do not move apart properly during meiosis 1 sister chromatids fail to seperate during meiosis 2. One gamete receives two of the same type of chromosome and another gamete receives noncopyNondisjunction7
1706797071Condition involving more than one chromsomeAneuploidy8
1706799742Aneuploidy zygote missing a chromosome is said to be aMonosomic9
1706809051If the zygote is triplet of chromsomes the aneuoploidy cell isTrisomic10
1706811229Example disorder of trisomyDown syndrome11
1706820700organisms that have more than ine complete chromosome sets in all somatic cellsPolyploidy12
1706828940Errors of meiosis or damaging agents such as radiation can cause breakage of a chromosome, which can lead to four types of chsnges in chromosome structureDeletion, duplication, inversion, translocation13
1706830455Occurs when a chromosomal fragment is lostDeletion14
1706836559A deleted fragment may become attached as an extra segment to a sister chromatid, producing aDuplication15
1706842784A chromosomal fragment may also reattach to the original chromosome but in reverse orientation, producing anInversion16
1706845917The fragment joins a nonhomologus chromosome, a rearrangement calledTranslocation17
1706862092Result of an extra chromsome 21, trisomy 21Down syndrome18
1706868758Frequency of Down syndrome increases with the age of theMother19
1706877976XXY, extra X chromosome in a male, tested abnormally small, sterileKlinefelter syndrome20
1706887468XYY males do not exhibit anywell defined syndrome but they tend to beTaller21
1706892351XXX females have unusual physical features other than beingTaller22
1706898135Monosomy X, women are sterile, sex organs dont mature,Turner syndrome23
1706906476Deletion of chromosome 5, intellectually disabled, small head unusual facial features, cry of a distressed catCry of the cat24
1706933970Translocation have been implicated in certain cancers, this disease occurs when a reciprocal translocation happens during mitosis of cells that will become white blood cells. In these cells, the exchange of a large portion of chromosme 22 with a small fragment of chromosome 9 produces a much shortened, easily recognized chromosome 22 called philadelphia chromosome. Such angene causes cancer by activating a gene that leads to uncontrolled cell cycle progressionChronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)25
1706945501Which gene on the y chromsome is required for development in the testedSRY26
1706948450In the abscence of SRY the gonads develop intoOvaries27
1706951172A gene located on either sex chromsomeSex linked gene28
1706952844Genes located on y chromsomeY linked genes29
1706954678Genes located in the x chromsomesX linked genes30
1706957940Disorder that affects males by aborogressive weakening of muscles and loss of coordination. Affected individuals ratelyblive passed their early 20's. Due to abscence of dystrophin in anlocus of the x chromosome.Duchenne muscular dystrophy31
1706959776X linked recessive disorder defined bybtue absence of onenor more of the proteins required for blood clotting. When injured, bleeding is prolongued because firm clot is slow to formHemophilia32
1706961543X chromosome inactivated during early embrionic development becoming highly condensed into aBarr body33
1706964281A single gene on a sex chromosomeSex linked gene34
1706966303Two or more genes on the same chromosome that tend to he inheritedLinked genes35
1706975341Variation in phenotype depending on whether allele is inherited from a male or a female parentGenomic imprinting36
