Genetic traits
Passed through genes
Either dominant or recessive
Sex deterimination
If a defective gene in found on parts of the X chromosome, it can result in sex-linked diseases
More likely in men
Female has two X chromosomes
Male has an X and a Y chromosome
The Y chromosome triggers the growth of the testes, without it, ovaries develop
Gene disorders
Some disorders are caused by faulty or defective alleles
Huntington's disease is a dominant disorder
Occurs in middle age
Symptoms include tremors, memory loss, inability to concentrate and mood changes
Cystic fibrosis is a recessive disorder which means both alleles must be recessive for you to get it
Symptoms includes production of thick gluey mucus that affects lungs and digestion, breathing problems and chest infections
You can be a carrier for this and still be normal
We're all different
Characteristics controlled by genes and enviroment
Phenotype= physical
Genotype= genetic
What genes do
Functional proteins enable body to function
Structural proteins give the body structure
DNA= packed into chromosomes
Carry instructions= control how develop& function
Tells body what proteins it needs
Gene=section of DNA
Genes& chromosomes
Sex cells= 23 chromosomes
46 cmromosomes
At fertilisation= Zygote
Combination from parents causes variation
Pairs of chromosomes have genes for the same characteristic
Alleles
Different forms of gene
Homozygous= same
Heterozygous= different
Genetic testing
Genetic screening is used to check for a disorder even when there is no history
Genetic testingis carried out when a genetic disease runs in the family
Ethical issues include who should know if someone has a disorder like Huntington's
Tests during pregnancy carry risk of miscarriage
IVF allows doctors to only implant normal embryos
Ethical issues include playing God however can allow people to plan
Stem cells
A human embryo develops from a single cell
Five days= ball of cells containing embryonic stem cells
These are unspecialised and can turn into any cell in body
Adult stem cells have limited uses
Ethical issues
Usually taken from unused embryos in fertility treatments
Using them involves destroying embryos
Cloning
Have identical genes
In asexual reproduction the offspring is in identical to the parent
Identical twins happen when a fertilised egg splits
Artificial cloning: Nucleus from body cell is inserted into egg cell then implanted into surrogate mother
