Extra credit problem for Lecture #4 An agouti mouse is crossed to a white mouse and all the F1 offspring are agouti. An F1 female is crossed to an F1 male, and the offspring are: 11 agouti: 5 white: 4 black Q: Test the hypothesis that the original parental genotypes were BBCC and bbcc. Give the c2 value, the df, the P value, and state whether or not you reject the hypothesis. Cytogenetics: Chromosome Mutations, Aberrations & Evolution Chromosomes Prokaryote 4.2 X 106 base pairs DNA essentially naked mRNA translated as it's transcribed mRNA is often polycistronic Eukaryote Has 1000x more DNA DNA complexed w/ RNA & protein mRNA is transcribed in nucleus, translated in the cytoplasm mRNA is almost never polycistronic Eukaryotic chromosomes Metacentric Submetacentric Acrocentric Human karyotype Sister chromatids Homologous pair autosomes Sex chromosomes Why do we care? Many diseases and birth defects are a direct result of missing, broken, or extra chromosomes. • Down Syndrome • Cri du chat Syndrome • Patau Syndrome Mutations at the level of the homologous pair • EUPLOIDY: "true" ploidy, meaning two members of each homologous pair. • ANEUPLOIDY: "not true" ploidy, meaning more or fewer members than two of each homologous pair. • MONOSOMY - one homolog; partner is missing • TRISOMY - three homologs • NULLISOMY- one entire homologous pair is missing. Monosomy and Trisomy Down Syndrome How does it happen? Nondisjunction Each chrom. has two chromatids Trisomy: Patau Syndrome • 1/20,000 births • severe mental retardation • heart and organ defects • polydactyly • death by the age of one year Chromosomal Abnormalities Occurring in Human Fetuses % spontaneously aborted % fetuses with the fetuses with the abnormality that Type of Abnormality abnormality survive to term All abnormalities 50 5 Autosomal Trisomies 16 7.5 0 13, 18, & 21 4.5 15 All others 13.8 0 Trisomies of Sex c hromosomes XXX, XXY, XYY 0.3 75 Monosomy for X (XO) 8.7 1 Structural A bnormalities 20 45 Structural Changes • • • • Deletions (deficiencies) Duplications Inversions Translocations Deletions (deficiencies) Homozygotes lethal w Psuedodominance How can chromosomes break? Ionizing radiation (production of free radicals, which act like little atomic "cannon balls", blasting through strands of DNA or c'somes. Chemical insult. Why do they rejoin? Break points of chromosomes are highly reactive ("sticky"), whereas normal ends of c'somes are capped by telomeres, which do not readily bond to other molecules. S Phase Dyad • Breaks that occur before S phase will affect both newly formed chromatids, & all daughter cells arising from them. • Breaks that occur when the chromosome is in dyad form may affect only one chromatid. (Thereafter, only the progeny carrying the broken chromatid will be affected.)
