1
DNA what is it Pentose sugar (deoxyribose) Phosphate molecule Four nitrogenous bases
Pyrimidines: cytosine and thymine Purines: adenine and guanine
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
2
Proteins One or more polypeptides Composed of amino acids
20 amino acids of 64 total known are found in the structure of all plants and animals 6 we can not manufacture from scratch and are essential in diet
Directed by sequence of bases along DNA strans 3 consecutive bases = a codon

3
DNA Replication Untwisting and unzipping of the DNA
strand Single strand acts as a template for replication
and transcription to RNA Complementary base pairing done by action
of DNA polymerase Adenine-thymine; cytosine-guanine Chargraf’s
rules

4
Mutation Any inherited alteration of genetic material
Chromosome aberrations major changes in the entire DNA strand and entire piece missing or an extra chromosome or even an extra complete set examples include Cri – du – chat mising piece of #5 or trisomy 21 Downs syndrome extra 21 chromosome
Base pair substitution One base pair is substituted for another Silent substitution
Substitution that does not result in an amino acid change because genetic code is redundant
RNA codons GUU, GUC, GUA, GUG all code for the amino acid valine

Mutation Spontaneous mutation
Mutation that occurs in absence of exposure to known mutagens
Mutational hotspots Areas of the chromosomes that have high
mutation rates A cytosine base followed by a guanine are known
to account for a disproportionately large percentage of disease-causing mutations

Transcription RNA is synthesized from the DNA template Results in the formation of messenger RNA
(mRNA) mRNA moves out of the nucleus and into
the cytoplasm

Transcription
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
11
Translation Process by which RNA directs the synthesis of a
polypeptide Site of protein synthesis is the ribosome tRNA contains a sequence of nucleotides
(anticodon) complementary to the triad of nucleotides on the mRNA strand (codon)
The ribosome moves along the mRNA sequence to translate the amino acid sequence

Chromosomes Somatic cells
Contain 46 chromosomes (23 pairs) Diploid cells
Gametes Contain 23 chromosomes Haploid cells
One member of each chromosome pair Meiosis
Formation of haploid cells from diploid cells
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
14
Chromosomes Autosomes
The first 22 of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in males and females
The two members are virtually identical and thus said to be homologous
Sex chromosomes Remaining pair of chromosomes In females, it is a homologous pair (XX) In males, it is a nonhomologous pair (XY)

16
Chromosome Aberrations Euploid cells
Cells that have a multiple of the normal number of chromosomes
Haploid and diploid cells are euploid forms When a euploid cell has more than the diploid
number, it is called a polyploid cell Triploidy: a zygote having three copies of each
chromosome (69) Tetraploidy: four copies of each (92 total)
Both triploid and tetraploid fetuses don’t survive

17
Chromosome Aberrations Aneuploidy
A somatic cell that does not contain a multiple of 23 chromosomes
A cell containing three copies of one chromosome is trisomic (trisomy)
Monosomy is the presence of only one copy of any chromosome
Monosomy is often lethal, but infants can survive with trisomy of certain chromosomes “It is better to have extra than less”

18
Chromosome Aberrations Disjunction
Normal separation of chromosomes during cell division
Nondisjunction Usually the cause of aneuploidy Failure of homologous chromosomes or sister
chromatids to separate normally during meiosis or mitosis

Autosomal Aneuploidy Partial trisomy
Only an extra portion of a chromosome is present in each cell
Chromosome mosaics Trisomies occurring only in some cells of the
body

Autosomal Aneuploidy Down syndrome
Best-known example of aneuploidy Trisomy 21
1:800 live births Mentally retarded, low nasal bridge, epicanthal
folds, protruding tongue, poor muscle tone Risk increases with maternal age

Sex Chromosome Aneuploidy One of the most common is trisomy X. This
is a female that has three X chromosomes. Termed “metafemales”
Symptoms are variable: sterility, menstrual irregularity, and/or mental retardation
Symptoms worsen with each additional X

Alterations in Chromosome Structure Chromosome breakage
If a chromosome break does occur, physiological mechanisms will usually repair the break, but the breaks often heal in a way that alters the structure of the chromosome
Agents of chromosome breakage Ionizing radiation, chemicals, and viruses
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
29
Alterations in Chromosome Structure Breakage or loss of DNA Cri du chat syndrome
“Cry of the cat” Deletion of short arm of chromosome 5 Low birth weight, metal retardation, and
microcephaly

Alterations in Chromosome Structure
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
31
Alterations in Chromosome Structure Duplication
Presence of a repeated gene or gene sequence Rare occurrence Less serious consequences because better to
have more genetic material than less (deletion) Duplication in the same region as cri du chat
causes mental retardation but no physical abnormalities

32
Alterations in Chromosome Structure Inversions
Two breaks on a chromosome Reversal of the gene order Usually occurs from a breakage that gets
reversed during reattachment ABCDEFG may become ABEDCFG
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
33
Alterations in Chromosome Structure Translocations
The interchanging of material between nonhomologous chromosomes
Translocation occurs when two chromosomes break and the segments are rejoined in an abnormal arrangement

Alterations in Chromosome Structure
Fragile sites Fragile sites are areas on chromosomes that
develop distinctive breaks or gaps when cells are cultured
No apparent relationship to disease
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
37
Alterations in Chromosome Structure
Fragile X syndrome Site on the long arm of the X chromosome Associated with mental retardation; second in
occurrence to Down syndrome Higher incidence in males because they have
only one X chromosome

Genetics Locus
Position of a gene along a chromosome Allele
A different form of a particular gene at a given locus
Example: Hgb A vs. Hgb S Polymorphism
Locus that has two or more alleles that occur with appreciable frequency
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
40
Genetics Homozygous
Loci on a pair of chromosomes have identical genes
Example O blood type (OO)
Heterozygous Loci on a pair of chromosomes have different
genes Example
AB blood type (A and B genes on pair of loci)

41
Genetics Genotype (“what they have”)
The genetic makeup of an organism Phenotype (“what they demonstrate”)
The observable, detectable, or outward appearance of the genetics of an organism
Example A person with the A blood type could be AA or
AO. A is the phenotype; AA or AO would be the genotype.
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
42
Genetics If two alleles are found together, the allele
that is observable is dominant, and the one whose effects are hidden is recessive
In genetics, the dominant allele is represented by a capital letter, and the recessive by a lowercase letter
Alleles can be co-dominant

43
Genetics Carrier
A carrier is one that has a disease gene but is phenotypically normal
For a person to demonstrate a recessive disease, the pair of recessive genes must be inherited
Example Ss = sickle cell anemia carrier ss = demonstrates sickle cell disease

46
Single-Gene Disorders Recurrence risk
The probability that parents of a child with a genetic disease will have yet another child with the same disease
Recurrence risk of an autosomal dominant trait When one parent is affected by an autosomal
dominant disease and the other is normal, the occurrence and recurrence risks for each child are one half
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
47
Single-Gene Disorders Autosomal dominant disorder
Abnormal allele is dominant, normal allele is recessive, and the genes exist on a pair of autosomes

Penetrance The percentage of individuals with a
specific genotype who also express the expected phenotype Incomplete penetrance
Individual who has the gene for a disease but does not express the disease
Retinoblastoma (eye tumor in children) demonstrates incomplete penetrance (90%)
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
51
Expressivity Expressivity is the variation in a phenotype
associated with a particular genotype This can be caused by modifier genes Examples:
von Recklinghausen disease Autosomal dominant Long arm of chromosome #17 Disease varies from dark spots on the skin to malignant
neurofibromas, scoliosis, gliomas, neuromas, etc.

Expressivity
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
53
Single-Gene Disorders Autosomal recessive disorder
Abnormal allele is recessive and a person must be homozygous for the abnormal trait to express the disease
The trait usually appears in the children, not the parents, and it affects the genders equally because it is present on a pair of autosomes
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
54
Single-Gene Disorders Autosomal recessive disorder recurrence
risk Recurrence risk of an autosomal dominant trait
When two parents are carriers of an autosomal recessive disease, the occurrence and recurrence risks for each child are 25%

56
Consanguinity Mating of two related individuals Dramatically increases the recurrence risk
of recessive disorders
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
57
Sex-Linked Disorders The Y chromosome contains only a few
dozen genes, so most sex-linked traits are located on the X chromosome and are said to be X-linked
Mosby items and derived items © 2006 by Mosby, Inc.
58
Sex-Linked Disorders Sex-linked (X-linked) disorders are usually
expressed by males because females have another X chromosome to mask the abnormal gene
X-linked recessive Most X-linked disorders are recessive Affected males cannot transmit the genes to
sons, but they can to all daughters Sons of female carriers have a 50% risk of
being affected
