Biology and Genetics Overview

- Reproduction 68 organism "variety of genes, creates mutation - 4 cells, takes i chroms from one, i trom other - Autosomes: info cello need, par up #1-22 traleto same kind of gene in same epo ands togethe - To rounds, four dauanters nave haploid #S " diploid: 2n, full set of chroms (somatic) 7 naplod: n, halt # cltoms, (sex, - E produces lega, 3 non-function polar podies e trophase I: hom chromatids exchange genes (sometimes) - Meta I: ham pairs lune up in center - Ana I: separate toward centroles - Telo I: 2 cells are nap, chrom # ditt bic crossing - Pro II: nucleus dissolves, spinde torma - Meta II: Chroms in middle - Ana II: chroms separate - Telo II: Memprane pinches, diff genes in each - Used to farm gamete cells, has ½ chroms achroms all dilt be of crossing over in pro I - Asexual is only one parent, ess energy, no genetic vatety 17 ro tang is ming from parents - species surve more w/ variety, mating is hard tho -Genetics: transmission of characteristies from parents uchrom copies passed from generations - Gregor Mendel. Austrian monk, used pea plans to study genetics in 800g - Traits inherited characteristics - Genes: UNA segments tor specific things - Alleles, ditt versions or a gene - Dominant: always expressed if present (capital). - recessive. only expressed when its the only gene present lowercase -genotype:type gene/allele inherited -phenotype: expression of genes in organism -Mendel experiments: pure bred peas, self-pollinating -Punnet square: shows genetic outcomes - Principle of segregation: alleles sep in formation In ME → only one allele from each parent - principle of independent assortment: one tralt doesn't affect the others, ex hair + eye color -recessive disorders: only if homo rec, het are carriers -dom disorders: hom dom, less in hetero, hom rec none -pedigrees: fam history diagram to trace traits -incomplete dom: phenoblending, combo gene etfects - codominance: hetero has both - Multiple alleles: traits from 2+ alleles -Sex linked: X linked, carried on sex chrom → hemophilia: rec and color blindness rec -polygenic trait: affected by many genes → more rec = lighter, more dom = darker -enviro factors: diet, nutrition, temp, vitamins, etc -penetrance: if you have the gene, will it show? → expressed as % - DNA missing oxygen, double stranded. - RNA single strand, uracil instead of thymine - Proteins made by what DNA says →RNA made to translate DNA instructions -mRNA: companies DNA complementary, transcribed 5’→3’ -rRNA: reads mRNA to translate, pairs of two -3 base long codons on m code amino acids, matched w/ tRNA anticodons to bring proper aa, after coded complements then combine 3 bases into codon -r: ribosomal, 3 binding sites, small 30s and large 50s -amino acyl: bring in right aa -peptidyl: holds growing protein -exit: leaves to find more aa -t: transfer, small, made of nucleotides, 2 banding sites → Anticodon: comp to codon on mRNA → Amino acid: on 3' end, one per AA, 20+ types - Genetic code: 3 nucleotides code for amino aca - when AA chain finished, folds into shape → shape determines function - genes turned on/off in diff cells -lac operon studied e coli to see proteins that work together are translated on the same miRNA -operon: genes all strung together on the same unt - Operon: reg system for gene expression in prokaryotes - Promoter; tells RNA Polymerase where to start transcription - Operator; on/off switch, nucleotides between promoter + structural genes - Repressor: protein bound to operator, blocks protein synthesis - Structural genes: code for protein, 1+ included in same mRNA - regulation, enzymes only made when needed - Inducible operon: enz made as needed, triggered by substrate - repressible operon: enz production stop when enough made - prokaryotic Translation: happens immediately, no nucleus don't have to wait - eukaryotes: genes on/off, used at the right time, etc -differential gene expression: multcell orgs express limited # of gene - cytoplasmic determinants after zygote, they decide cell function - Induction: determines cells fate - pattern formation: org body plan, where body parts are in body decides what it does - hox genes: control pattern form in org, gradients of morphogens est axes - reg of gene expression: make diff proteins pacific to DNA - euchromatin: diffuse, site of DNA transcription - heterochromatin: condensed, genes not expressed as protein - cell specializes → net proportion increases - histones: little tail dudes that grab onto chromatin - acetyl in euch, methyl for hetero - enhancers: DNA s activates gene, has control elements - activators: proteins binds to control elements in enhancer - transcription factor: proteins bind to prom + enh activators -fold DNA to express gene -Random errors in copying DNA -can be benign or malignant -neutral: indifferent -nonsense: misplace stop codon -single base pair sub: just one AA -Insert/del: lose one base pair - frame shift: add one base, changes aa after - structural: -deletion: piece lost -duplication attach to homologue, 2 copies -inversion: flips and reattaches -attach to non hom: insertion - translocation non nom chroms trade pieces - non disjunction: chroms don’t sep during meiosis -missina autosomes = dead - gene family: genes duplicated, mutations make new genes -pseudogene: genes disabled by mutations - retroviral insertions show evolutionary relationships -scars trace history -Oncogenes Insert DNA, interrupt normal actunty, hepatitis/papilloma - Ancestral characters: features that existed before species evolved, ex: hair for humans - shared derived characters: specific features for a group, ex: milk in mammals, feathers in birds - Body symmetry: arrangement of body -sponges are special, only animal w/o sym -radial: don't have head, anemone, sea star -bilateral: aligned head to tail - body tissues: layers in body - diploblast: endoderm, dead layer, ectoderm - triplblast: mesoderm instead of dead layer - cladogram: arrangement of orgs by shared traits and order of ev - body cavities: arrangement of layers in the body - acoelomate: no space between 3 layers -pseudocoelomate: gap between mesoderm/endoderm -coelomates: gap entirely within mesoderm - ancestral vs shared derived - ancestral: where we evolved from - sheared derived traits: similarities between species - symmetry: sponges have none -radial: can cut in half any wa - bilateral: dorsal vs ventral, anterior vs posterior - nervous systems: sponges have none - cnidaria/ctenophora: nerve net - platyhelminthes (flatworms); ladder, ganglia, brain -

binomial nomenclature: used to name species -scientific name: first part is genus, second is descriptor - Artificial selection: human breed desired traits, ex: pugs, chihuahuas, bananas - Darwin’s 4 principles of nat selecton. - genetically diff in pop - variations inherited - more kids than can survive (Malthus) - variations inc reproductive success (fitness) - Natural selection -descent w/ mod: life forms descended from prev life forms - mod by nat sel: inherited traits help survive - FossI record helps -law of superposition: undisturbed then old on bottom - succession of forms: early are more elaborate than current - ex: oil companies stop drilling when we hit older rock - found wasp/ant combo -antenna diff, plates too - bees evolve in turn from wasps -homologous structure: same origin, diff function - ex: bat wing, whale flipper, human hand - analogous: same function, diff origin - ex: bird wings and insect wings - vestigial: reduced, new/no use - ex: nictitating membrane, ment to protect eyes, remnant is tear duct -Every living thing has: DNA Gene code, glycolysis/ATP, lipid bilayer, cell membrane - 2 chromosomes (12/13) bound into our chrom #2 - more similar macro molecules closely related - Mammals: 4475, Bird: 13387, reptile: 2130C, Amphibian:502 Fish: 29418, Invertebrates: 1262310, unicellular: no one knows - Biogeography: dist of orgs in world - could evolve separately or interbreed -population genetics: nat selec/mendel combo -pop: interbreeding grp in a species - gene pool: all genes available - variation: diff versions of orgs bc genes change - hardy weinberg principle -artificial steady state -genetic recombo doesn’t change gene pool -idealized pop - no mutations - no one leaves or comes in - chance has no effect - mating random - all alleles viable, all orgs reproduce - frequencies won’t change between generations - equilibrium: p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1 p+q=1 p=dom, q=rec - determines if change is happening - measures magnitude/direction -shows cause - genetic drift; change in gene pool bc chance -founder effect: small pop branching off has diff rep of alleles - pop bottleneck: diff rep in pop not bc of nat selec -gene flow: alleles moving in/out of pop - could counteract nat selec -degeneration: loss of structures thru evolution - ex: rabbit color, human head size -directional selection: avg selected against, extremes famored -ex: finch beak, salmon size, clam size -freq dep: dec frq of more common phen -shifting focus on most numerous type -sexual selection: -intra: comp between same sex -inter: one sex chooses one characteristic of other sex -ex: peacock chooses # of eyes on tail -reproductive isolation: -premating: behavioral mating rituals (visual/auditory/chem) -postmating: survival of offspring - no homologous chrome in mixed species bc half are from diff species -modes of speciations -allopatric: isolated orgs are isolated so evolve separately -sympatric: no isolation, chrom content is what changes -ex: diff soil = palm trees flower diff times, only exchange chrome w/ each other -adaptive radiation: major pattern of macroevolution -hox genes activate diff times -coevolution: orgs influence others’ evolution -mimicry: harmless orgs adopt patterns of scary ones -convergent evolution: similar selective pressures -look similar bc enviro same, not really related -divergent evo: diff selective pressures, start being diff Endocrine -diff glands for diff hormones -pituitary → growth -
