DNA, RNA, and Protein
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) The genetic material of cells; made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides arranged in a double-stranded helix. DNA contains all of the instructions needed to direct the activities of cells.

Genes and Heredity
Gene—a segment of a DNA molecule; genes are the basic building blocks of inheritance
Chromosome—a strand of DNA containing a number of genes
Mitosis—the process by which somatic cells duplicate themselves, resulting in genetically identical cells with 46 chromosomes

• Base Pairs• Adenine• Guanine• Cytosine• Thymine
• The combination and sequence of these base pairs is the basic code of life on planet earth

Genes and Heredity continued
Karotype —photographic representation of human chromosomes

Patterns of Heredity
Alleles —pairs of corresponding genes located at specific positions on specific chromosomes
Homozygous—a condition in which an individual has a pair of identical alleles at a particular position
Heterozygous—a condition in which an individual has a pair of non-identical alleles at a particular position
![Page 8: Wiley 2017 ch 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051520/58a2c9751a28ab217a8b64a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Genotype and Phenotype
Genotype—a person’s genetic makeup as determined at the moment of fertilization
Phenotype—the observable expression of a person’s genotype

Recessive Diseases
![Page 12: Wiley 2017 ch 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051520/58a2c9751a28ab217a8b64a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Polygenic Inheritance• Many traits such as height, shape,
weight, color, and metabolic rate are governed by the cumulative effects of many genes.
• Polygenic traits are not expressed as absolute or discrete characters,
• Polygenic traits are recognizable by their expression as a gradation of small differences
![Page 13: Wiley 2017 ch 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051520/58a2c9751a28ab217a8b64a7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Skin Color• Human skin color is a good example of polygenic
(multiple gene) inheritance. • Capital letter genes (A, B and C) control dark
pigmentation. • Lower case (a, b & c) control light pigmentation • All "dominant" genes (AABBCC) has the
maximum amount of melanin and very dark skin.
• All "recessive" small case genes (aabbcc) has the lowest amount of melanin and very light skin.

The Genetic Difference Between Males and Females

Sex Linked Traits
• Some genes that cause certain phenotypes are located on the X and Y chromosome• These chromosomes are not identical so there
are some interesting inheritance patterns for these sex linked traits
• Mothers are XX so they can only give an X• Fathers are XY so if they give an X the child will
be a girl; a Y and the child is a boy.• If the child is a Boy we can be certain he got his
X from his mother.

Chromosomal Disorders
Down Syndrome—Trisomy 21 an extra chromosome exists on the 21st pair
Turner Syndrome—females with Turner Syndrome and missing an X chromosome
Fragile X Syndrome—the most common cause of intellectual disability in males
![Page 23: Wiley 2017 ch 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051520/58a2c9751a28ab217a8b64a7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Fragile X• It is the most common
cause of genetically-inherited mental impairment.
• Abnormality on the X chromosome which is restricted or broken
• Retardation, Autism, Hyperactivity, Tactile Sensitivity
![Page 24: Wiley 2017 ch 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051520/58a2c9751a28ab217a8b64a7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
X Y Abnormalities
• Klinefelter’s Syndrome• An extra X chromosome in a
male.• At puberty the body does
not know whether to mature as a male or female.
• Breasts may form, underdevelopment of male genitals and marked weight gain can be some of the symptoms.

Genetic Counseling
Provides guidance for parents about the possibility of genetic disorders in their future children based on an extensive health history of both parents’ families over as many generations as possible
![Page 27: Wiley 2017 ch 2](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051520/58a2c9751a28ab217a8b64a7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Genetic (Genomic) Imprinting
• The phenomenon of parent-of-origin gene expression. The expression of a gene depends upon the parent who passed on the gene.
• They are due to deletion of the same part of chromosome 15.
• Father = Prader-Willi • Mother = Angelman
Syndrome.
