46, 23 pairs.
1 of 37
Structural proteins?
Skin, hair, blood, and the cytoplasm in our cells.
2 of 37
Functional proteins?
Enzymes that help with the digestion of food by breaking down food molecules.
3 of 37
Genotype?
All the genes and organism has.
4 of 37
Phenotype?
The characteristics that an organism displays
5 of 37
Why do children not look identical to their parents?
Because they haven't got ALL the same alleles , every child will have a new unique combination of alleles.
6 of 37
What are alleles?
Different versions of the same gene.
7 of 37
Male sex chromosomes?
XY
8 of 37
Female sex chromosomes?
**
9 of 37
Homozygous?
2 alleles that are the same.
10 of 37
Heterozygous?
2 different alleles.
11 of 37
2 dominant alleles or 1 dominant and one recessive?
Only dominant characteristic will show.
12 of 37
2 recessive?
Recessive allele will show.
13 of 37
Sex cells contain ..... chromosomes?
23 single chromosomes- 1 chromosome from each pair.
14 of 37
False positive?
Healthy people being told that they have a genetic disorder.
15 of 37
False negative?
People with a genetic disorder being told that they are healthy.
16 of 37
Why might insurance companies refuse to give life insurance to people with genetic disorders?
Because they have the 'wrong' alleles.
17 of 37
What does asexual mean?
Organisms reproducing without sexual reproduction.
18 of 37
What does producing asexually make?
Clones.
19 of 37
How does bacteria reproduce asexually?
Divides into 2.
20 of 37
How to plants reproduce asexually?
Produce horizontal stems called runners that come from the base of the plant and produce clones on their tip.
21 of 37
What plant can reproduce asexually?
Strawberry plant.
22 of 37
Out of Huntington's disease and Cystic Fibrosis, which one is caused by a recessive allele?
Cystic Fibrosis.
23 of 37
What are the symptoms of cystic fibrosis?
Thick sticky mucus in air passages, gut and pancreas. Breathing difficulty. Chest infections. Difficulty in digesting foods.
24 of 37
What the are symptoms of Huntington's disease?
Memory loss, clumsiness, mood changes, lack of concentration and there is no cure.
25 of 37
When do symptoms for Huntington's disease usually appear?
40 years old.
26 of 37
What is an example of a specialised cell?
A type of white blood cell is specialised to fight invaders but can't carry oxygen like red blood cells.
27 of 37
What are stem cells?
Cells that are unspecialised (can turn into any kind of cell).
28 of 37
What are embryonic stem cells?
Unspecialised cells found in the early embryos, the stem cells are removed and they have the potential to turn into any type of cell.
29 of 37
What are adult stem cells?
Unspecialised cells found in animals, these can specialise into many type of cells but not all.
30 of 37
How can adult stem cells be safely removed?
By extracting bone marrow.
31 of 37
What animal can reproduce asexually and how?
Female greenfly can reproduce asexually by laying eggs and they turn out to be clones of the mother.
32 of 37
Are identical twins clones?
Yes.
33 of 37
What are differences between identical twins caused by?
The environment.
34 of 37
How are twins formed?
An embryo splits into 2.
35 of 37
How do you make a clone?
The Nucleus of an egg cell is removed which leaves the egg cell without any genetic information.
36 of 37
How do you make a clone (2)?
An adult donor cell is inserted, and once this is sterilized it can begin to grow as a normal embryo and will be a clone of the adult donor.
