DNA
Chromosomes
are
made of tightly coiled
DNA (deoxyribonucleic
acid) molecules.
DNA
When
mitosis takes
place, DNA is copied
and passed to new cells
DNA
controls the
activities of cells
Every
Genes
Genes
are sections of
DNA.
Genes control the
production of proteins
in the cells.
Proteins determine
the traits of an
organism.
Humans have 23
pairs of
chromosomes for a
total of 46 (do the
math)

BUT..
All
12
research
revealed that every
offspring receives one
allele (form of a gene) for
a trait from each parent.
These alleles can be
dominant or recessive.
A dominant alleles trait
always shows up when it
is present. It is
represented by a capital
letter.
A recessive allele
remains hidden as long as
the dominant allele is
there. It is represented by
a lower case letter.
If
an organism has 2
identical alleles, such
as 2 dominant (TT) or 2
recessive (tt), it is said
to be homozygous for
that trait.
If an organism has 2
different alleles, 1
dominant and 1
recessive (Tt), it is said
to be heterozygous
for that trait.

Mom and Dad both have brown eyes (B), but they
both carry the recessive allele for blue eyes (b).
Could their offspring have blue eyes?

Recessive disorders
Passed
from
parents to
offspring when
both parents are
carriers of the
disorder.
Parents may not
know they are
carriers

Chromosomal Disorders
Downs
Syndrome is an example
of a chromosomal disorder
A person with Downs syndrome
has an extra copy of chromosome
