=Exam Content= >>> >> >>
 * **//Chapter 18 Patterns of Chromosome Inheritance//**
 * Links to images and websites to help you understand chromosomes. These images should make sense to you.: Human Chromosomes DF
 * Chapter 18 Homework on Chromosomes (What you need to know) Genetic HW PK
 * //**Chapter 20 Patterns of Genetic Inheritance**//
 * This power points summarizes chapter 20. The major focus of the May exam [[file:chapt20_lecture.ppt]]
 * Dragon genetics website (helps explain the link between genotypes and chromosomes): http://biologica.concord.org/webtest1/web_labs.htm
 * The first chapter 20 assignment that you will need to know for the May exam Human Genetics hw- kat
 * Some Genetics Notes I took in class (stuff you should know for the May exam) Human Genetics DF
 * The second chapter 20 assignment that you will need to know for the May exam Genetics 2 DB
 * Know how to do the crosses from the homework packet and lab
 * blood type crosses
 * hemophilia crosses
 * color blindness crosses
 * Know how to identify a pedigree as autosomal dominant, autsomal recessive, or X-linked recessive
 * Genetic Disorders http://www.ygyh.org/ 
 * You will need to know the following information each for the conent portion of the May exam:.Genetic Disorders DF
 * What causes it?: Talk about the gene mutation (and which chromosome the gene is on--point mutation or insertion or deletion) and the misformed protein made of amino acids, if you change the amino acids in a protein it will change protein and usually it will make the protein not function) and how this causes the disorder.
 * How is it inherited? Show a Punnett square or a pedigree and tell us if it is autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive
 * How is it diagnosed?
 * How is it treated?
 * What is it like to have it?
 * Tay-sachs KAT
 * Cystic Fibrosis MASSEY
 * PKU DEDE
 * Sickle Cell Disease RJ
 * Mafan Syndrome HARRISON
 * Huntington Disease BLAIR
 * Muscular dystrophy EMILY
 * Hemophilia BILL
 * Neurofibromatosis FAITH
 * Polycystic Kidney Disease CAROLINE
 * Hemochromatosis KEATON
 * Beta Thalassemia CHANDLER
 * Fragile X PATRICIA
 * //**Chapter 21 DNA Biology and Technology**//
 * DNA Review Homework (what you should know for the may exam) HB DNA Review (Know how to use the genetic code)
 * DNA Technology Homework (what you should know for the may exam) DNA Technology hw- kat
 * //**Human Evolution: Your Notes from Friday**// //**about chromosomes**//
 * //Know that the number of differences in DNA or amino acid sequence indicates evolutionary relatedness. Fewer differences and the two species are more closely related.//
 * //Know the basic human family tree. Closest and most distant primate relatives and those in between.//
 * //Know that chromosome banding patterns can also indicate evolutionary relatedness. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and Chimps have 24. Know the probable explanation for this difference.//
