Genetic Disorders
Gbogbo ọrọ náà
Most of what your genes do passes unnoticed. Occasionally a single faulty instruction, or one chromosome too many, produces an effect large enough to shape a whole life. These are the genetic disorders, and they are among the few places in biology where a family tree, a fraction and a set of symptoms all describe the same thing. Learn to move between those three descriptions and this topic becomes arithmetic rather than memory.
In this lesson you will meet three inherited conditions that the specification names by example, and you will see why one of them shows up in every generation of a family while another can hide for decades in people who feel completely well. You will then look at a different kind of cause altogether, where nothing is wrong with any individual allele and the problem is simply that a cell finished up with the wrong number of chromosomes. By the end you will be able to read a family diagram, fill a Punnett square, quote a probability and explain the biology sitting behind the number.
Ebumnobi
- Some disorders are inherited. Students should be able to interpret data relating to genetic disorders such as polydactyly, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anaemia.
- Some inherited conditions are caused by inheritance of abnormal numbers of chromosomes, eg Down’s Syndrome is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome.
