Explain the causes of sickle-cell anemia. [8] M11/4/BIOLO/HP2/ENG/TZ2/XX
caused by gene mutation;(sickle-cell anemia) due to a base substitution (mutation);changes the code on the DNA;which leads to a change in transcription / change in mRNA;DNA changes from CTC to CAC/GAG toGTG / mRNA changes from GAG to GUG;(accept DNA changes from CTT toCAT/GAA to GTA / mRNA changesfrom GAA to GUA)which (in turn) leads to a change in translation / change in polypeptide chain/protein;(the tRNA) adds the wrong amino acid to the polypeptide chain;glutamic acid replaced by valine;produces abnormal hemoglobin;causing abnormal red blood cell/erythrocyte shape / sickle shape;which lowers the ability to transport oxygen;sickle-cell allele is codominant;homozygote/HbS HbS have sickle cell anemia/is lethal / heterozygote/HbS HbA hasthe sickle trait/is carrier (and is more resistant to malaria);

4.2: Meiosis
STATE: Meiosis is a reduction division of a diploid nucleus to form haploid nuclei
Diploid: # of chromosomes in a body (somatic) cell (2n)
Haploid: # of chromosomes in a sex cell (n)
![Page 22: TOPIC 4: GENETICS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568151a6550346895dbfd53e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Prophase I of Meiosis I
Homologous chromosomes pair up forming a synapsis and crossing over occurs
Nuclear membrane breaks down
Chromosomes condense and supercoil
Spindle microtubules develop from the centrioles.
![Page 23: TOPIC 4: GENETICS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568151a6550346895dbfd53e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Metaphase I of Meiosis I
Microtubules attach to chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are “pushed and pulled” by microtubles to the equator of the cell.
![Page 24: TOPIC 4: GENETICS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568151a6550346895dbfd53e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Anaphase I of Meiosis I
Homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled to opposite poles.
Chromosomes are still in their duplicated form.
Cytokinesis occurs
![Page 25: TOPIC 4: GENETICS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568151a6550346895dbfd53e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Telophase I of Meiosis I
Chromosomes arrive at the poles
Chromosomes number is reduced by half.
Chromosomes uncoil
New nuclear membrane reforms.
Microtubules break down
![Page 26: TOPIC 4: GENETICS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568151a6550346895dbfd53e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Prophase II of Meiosis II
Nuclear membrane breaks down
Chromosomes supercoil
Centrioles move to the poles and spindle microtubules develop
![Page 27: TOPIC 4: GENETICS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568151a6550346895dbfd53e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Describe the causes of Down syndrome. [5] M11/4/BIOLO/HP2/ENG/TZ2/XX
Down syndrome is caused by non-disjunction;occurs during meiosis;chromosome pairs fail to separate in meiosis I / chromatids in meiosis II /anaphase II;some gametes have an extra chromosome;can lead to zygotes/individuals with an extra chromosome / individual has47 chromosomes;in Down syndrome this would be trisomy 21/extra chromosome 21;increased probability with increased age of mother/ages of parents; [5 max]
![Page 56: TOPIC 4: GENETICS](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081421/568151a6550346895dbfd53e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Explain how an error in meiosis can lead to Down syndrome. [8] M10/4/BIOLO/HP2/ENG/TZ2/XX+
non-disjunction; chromosomes/chromatids do not separate / go to same pole; non-separation of (homologous) chromosomes during anaphase I; due to incorrect spindle attachment; non-separation of chromatids during anaphase II; due to centromeres not dividing; occurs during gamete/sperm/egg formation; less common in sperm than egg formation / function of parents' age; Down syndrome due to extra chromosome 21; sperm/egg/gamete receives two chromosomes of same type; zygote/offspring with three chromosomes of same type / trisomy / total 47 chromosomes; [8 max] Accept the above points in an appropriately annotated diagram.

4.4.9: State two examples of Genetically Modified Crops or Animals
GOLDEN RICE
BT CORN
Golden rice is a variety of rice that has been genetically modified to produce beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A). Golden rice has the potential to prevent blindness or death in populations with vitamin A deficiency.
BT corn is a variety of corn that has been genetically modified to produce a bacterial toxin. The toxin is not harmful to people but it kills caterpillars. The advantage of BT corn is that it doesn't need to be sprayed with pesticides.

4.4.10: Benefits/Harmful Effects of GMOs
Advantages of Genetically Modified corn are: 1) it increases profits for farmers by saving them the expense of spraying pesticides; 2) it keeps the price of corn lower for consumers; and 3) it saves the environment from toxic pesticides, which can pose heath risks to people and can kill non-target species that with important roles in the ecosystem.
Disadvantages are: 1) insect pests may develop resistance to the GM corn because continual exposure to the toxins will speed up the rate of natural selection; and 2) GM corn may produce toxic pollen, release it into the air, and harm beneficial species like the monarch butterfly(although recent studies do not support this claim).
