CHAPTER 14 SUMMARY

14.1 
karyotype-a picture of chromosomes arranged in a certain way.
Sex chromosome-two of the 46 chromosomes in human body.
Autosome-thermae 44 chromosomes in the human body.
pedigree-shows the relationships within the family.

What is the difference between an auto zone and a sex chromosome?
Sex ones determine if it's male or female
What is a karyotype and how was it used?
Biologist photographs cells in mitosis and cut them into them together.
What is the pedigree? How does it explain inheritance type?
It shows how we treat is transmitted through three generations of the family.

14.2
Sex-linked genes-special pattern of inheritance for genes located on the X and Y chromosomes.
Colorblindness-an inability to distinguish certain colors.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy-the progressive weakening and loss of skeletal muscle.
Non-disjunction disorders-number of chromosomes may find their way to the gametes disorder promises may result
Down syndrome-mild to severe mental retardation
Turners syndrome-only one X chromosome
Klinefelter's disorder-having an extra X chromosome 

What are sex linked genes?

Why our sex linked genes disorders more common in males than females?

What are some examples of sex linked genes?

What is nondisjunction? When does it occur?

What are some examples of nondisjunction disorders? 
Down syndrome.

14.3
DNA fingerprinting-the technology used to analyze the cells important jeans
Restrictions on-protein the breakdown the DNA even me
Gel Electrophoreses-a way to separate DNA fragments
Gene therapy-in gene therapy and absent or faulty gene is replaced by normal working.
Vector-another word for a carrier
Virus-a small infectious agent

How is DNA fingerprinting used?
matches up DNA strands
What is the goal of the human genome project?
to decode the human genome
What is gene therapy?
genes that was broken are replaced with healthy worrking genes.
