Phenotype: observable characteristic of a person2. Genetic foundation a. Chromosomes: store and transmit genetic information.b. Genes: segment of DNA located along chromosomes.c. DNA: substance which genes and chromosomes are made from.3. Chromosomes, cells, and sex cell terminologye. Autosomes: 22 pairs of chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes a. Sex chromosomes: 23rd pair of chromosomes that determine the sex of the baby. XX:female, XY: male. b. Gametes: sex cells: sperm and ova c. Zygotes: sperm/ovum united.4. Twins a. Fraternal/dizygotic: two different eggs are fertilized at the same time.b. Identical/monozygotic: zygote splits into two. 5. Inheritancea. Dominant: single dominant gene strongly influenced be phenotype.b. Recessive: gene that does not usually present itself unless both parents are a carrier of the gene.6. Chromosomal abnormalitiesa. Downs syndrome: is a result of a problem with the 21st chromosome. Chances of baby being born with this syndrome increase as age of the mother increases.b. Sex chromosome abnormalities: result of problems with the X or Y chromosome.7. Genetic consolinga. General information: - Normally done before a couple becomes pregnant.- Parents with child with serious defect may want to get tested in order to see ifanother child will also be defective.- Family history can take effect if there are carriers of a certain disease in genetic history. - Same ethnic group can have similar birth defects and may want to be tested. Example: Africans and cycle cell disease.b. What it helps couples do: - Assess chances of hereditary disease- Choose best course of action - Assess risks of birth ( how long will child live)- Family goals: are you going to terminate your fetus if it is defective? Will you try to get pregnant if you are a carrier of a disease? c. Recommended when? - Couples have difficulties such as miscarriage, or problems getting pregnant- Women over the age of 35- People who are aware of a history of genetic
