An introduction to Genetics Heredity An introduction to Genetics

What are Genes? Genes are inherited traits Physical characteristics passed on to children contributed by both parents. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a fertilized cell- for a total of 46 chromosomes. - contained in the nucleus

Parents Children 2 b 1 a 4 d 3 c

a b 4 3 c 1 d 2

Woman’s sex cell: Ovum/Egg Man’s sex cell: Sperm

TWINS!!! Monozygotic: Siamese Twins: Dizygotic: Identical twins: Fertilized eggs splits. Siamese Twins: Monozygotic, but the egg does not complete the seperation of the cell- still attached somewhere. Dizygotic: Fraternal Twins: Two separate eggs are fertilized.

Factors to Increase Chances of Having Twins History of twins in family Taking increased amount of hormones Use of artificial hormones Ages 32-36 +

GENES Dominant Gene Dominant Inheritance Recessive Gene: Stronger gene- characteristics is produced. Dominant Inheritance Dd x dd 50/50 chance of inheriting a trait Recessive Gene: Weaker gene- they do not produce characteristics, but are carried only to produce when both parents carry. Dd x dd Recessive Inheritance Rr x Rr 50% chance

Terms Syndrome: Carrier: Congenital Malformation or Birth Defect Set of characteristics that identify a certain condition or characteristic Carrier: Person who carries and passes on a disease or condition without having it himself. Congenital Malformation or Birth Defect Defect present at birth Multifactoral defects: interaction of many genes with other genes or environmental factors. Chromosomal error: Fertilized egg cell contains chromosomes in an abnormal number, structure or arrangement.
