Causes
• Genetic Disorder: an abnormal condition that a person inherits through genes or chromosomes.
• Some are caused by mutations in DNA. • Others by the changes in structure or
Number of chromosomes.

Cystic Fibrosis
• The body produces abnormally thick mucus in the lungs and the intestines.
• Mucus makes it hard to breath. • The recessive allele is a result of a
mutation in which 3 bases are removed.

Sickle Cell Disease
• Affects the hemoglobin in red blood cells that carry oxygen.
• When oxygen levels are low the red blood cell has a sickle shape.
• Blot clots are common with this disease.

Hemophilia
• Disorder where a person’s blood clots very slowly.
• Occurs more in males than females. • People bleed a lot just from a small cut.

Downs Syndrome
• A person’s cells carry an extra copy of chromosome 21.
• Instead of a pair of chromosomes they have 3 in the 21st set.
• People with DS have a degree of mental retardation and heart defect are also common.

Pedigrees
• An important tool that geneticists use to trace inheritance of traits in humans.
• Chart or “family tree” that track which family member has a particular trait.

Karyotypes
• Picture of all the chromosomes in a cell. • Can help reveal if a person has the
correct number of chromosomes in his or her cells.

Dealing with genetic disorders
• People with disorders face serious challenges.
• Medical care and treatments can help people with some of these disorders.
• Most genetic disorders do not prevent people from living active and productive lives.

CH. 5 section 3
• Selective Breeding: selecting organisms with desired traits to be parents of the next generation.
• Inbreeding: crossing 2 individuals that have similar characteristics. (usually very similar)
• Hybridization: cross 2 genetically different individuals.

Cloning
• Can be used to produce offspring with desired traits.
• Clone: organism that has the exact same genes as the organism in which it was produced by.
• Researchers have cloned sheep and pigs.

Genetic Engineering
• Genes from one organism are transferred into the DNA of another.
• One type of Bacteria is genetically engineered to produce insulin that is used for people with Diabetes.

Gene Therapy
• Involves inserting copies of a gene directly into a person’s cells.

Concerns
• Long term effects are still in question. • could cause health problems or
environmental problems.

Human Genome project
• Genome: all the DNA in one cell of an organism.
• Goal is to identify the DNA sequence of every gene in the human genome.
• Humans contain at least 30,000 genes. • Average gene has about 3,000 bases.
