Rett’s Syndrome What is Rett syndrome? Rett’s syndrome is a neurodevelopmenal disorder that for the most part only affects women. Infants with Rett syndrome seem to grow and develop normally at first‚ but then stop developing and even lose skills and abilities. Rett’s Syndrome can be summed up by normal early growth and development followed by a slowing of development‚ loss of purposeful use of the hands‚ distinctive hand movements‚ slowed brain and head growth‚ problems with walking‚ seizures

X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques probe short- and medium-range order‚ yielding information on bond lengths‚ coordination numbers‚ local coordination geometry and the oxidation state of atoms for a wide range of solid and liquid systems. XAS experiments require an intense‚ tunable photon source only available at synchrotrons. Features • medium and high energy (from atomic number Z=20 upwards) XAS‚ XANES (x-ray absorption near-edge structure)

the same as sexual reproduction‚ this also results in the mixture of genetic traits. The reason that bacterial conjugation is not the same as sexual reproduction is that the numerous genes necessary for conjugation are not located on the bacterial chromosome‚ but on small circular DNA self-replicating parasitic elements called conjugative plasmids. Thus‚ conjugation arises from an adaptation of parasitic DNA for its own transmission.[3] The second alternative view on the

Chromosomes‚ which are present in the nucleus of human cells‚ carry the genetic information for each individual. Human body cells normally have 46 chromosomes. Pairs of human chromosomes are numbered from 1 through 22 and the sex chromosomes are designated X and Y. Males have one X and one Y chromosome and females have two X chromosomes. Each chromosome has a short arm designated “p” and a long arm designated “q”. Chromosomes are further sub-divided into many bands

the chromosome gene - The unit of DNA along a chromosome that codes for a single characteristic‚ unit of dna that codes for a specific polypeptide synapsis - Pairing of homologous chromosomes called cross-over - The exchange or mixing of similar genetic material (genes) is called chiasmata - There is a criss-crossing of the non-sister chromatids called gene – unit of dna that codes for a specific polyeptide or characteristic karyotype - A display of metaphase chromosomes in which

Genes and Genetic Disorders PSY 104 October 29‚ 2011 Genes and Genetic Disorders When answering the question‚ “How does a child develop?” it is impossible to determine each individual influence that decides who a child becomes (Hamosh‚ Scott‚ Amberger‚ Bocchini‚ & McKusick‚ 2005). What can be determined are the most obvious influences‚ which are genetics‚ parenting‚ experiences‚ friends‚ and family relationships. These factors play the biggest roles in a child’s development‚ and can

the usual pair of two X chromosomes (“What is TS?”). This condition was named after Dr. Henry Turner‚ who was one of the first researchers to describe the features of Turner’s Syndrome in 1930s. TS occurs in about 1 female out of every 2‚000 female births‚ but is much more common in miscarriages. A diagnosis of TS is made through a karyotype test. This is performed on cells in the amniotic fluid before birth and on cells in the blood after. In a karyotype‚ the chromosomes in the white blood cells

Interphase- Chromosomes are copied Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils (chromatin) at the start‚ but each chromosome and its copy (sister chromosome) change to sistr chromatids at the end of this phase. 2. Prophase- Mitosis begins (cell begins to divide) Centrioles (or poles) appear and begin to move to the opposite ends of the cell Spindle fibers form between the poles 3. Metaphase- Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers 4. Anaphase-

An example of this would Huntington Disease. Dominant X-linked inheritance – this happens when a single abnormal gene on the X chromosome causes a disease. The abnormal gene dominates the gene pair.
