183245979 | Inheritence paterns for dominant autosomal Trait | 1) affected individuals have at least 1 affect parent 2) Phenotype expressed in each generation 3) 2 unaffected parents can only have unaffected offspring 4) number of males and females affected are approx. equal 5) most affected individuals are heterozygotes 6) Huntington Disease; Achondroplasia | |
183245980 | Inheritence patterns for recessive autosomal trait | 1) 2 Unaffected parents can have an affected child 2) 2 affected parents can only produce an affected child 3) Trait can skip generations 4) Cystic Fibrosis; Sickle Cell 5) Affect progency are both male and female and of equal proportions | |
183245981 | Inheritance patterns for x-linked dominant trait | 1) Affected males produce all affected daughters 2) Heterozygous women pass 50% of children 3) Females affected more 4) Trait present in each generation (incontentia pigmenti) | |
183245982 | Inheritence patterns for x-linked recessive trait | 1) Males more affected than females 2) Affected males receive from mothers, passed to daughters 3) Heterozygous daughters have 50% chance passing allele to sons 4) Trait skips generations 5) Color Blindness, Hemophillia, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy | |

183346822 | PolyPloidy | Doubling the entire sets of chromosomes 3n = triploidy, 4n = tetraploidy Tumor cells 250,000 known as plants results in chromosomes not distributed to daughter cells or by nondisjunction of cells due to failure of cytokinesis after mitosis/meiosis | |
183346823 | Hybrid Sterility | Caused by inability of chromosomes to pair @ prophase 1 of meiosis (Male donkey and female horse) |
