What chromosome is the gene of bipolar on?
bipolar susceptibility can be linked to small mutations in chromosomes 4,13,15,18, and 22.
What is the original source of all the different alleles of a genes?
A mutation in a pre-existing gene. If the mutation effects the phenotype derived from the gene, it is determined to be a different allele. Mutations can be small (such as a single nucleotide polymorphism) or large (such as entire genome duplication).
An inherited disease or disorder that is caused by a mutation in a gene or by a chromosomal defect?
There are many thousands of different mutations.
Does gene flow spread advantageous mutations?
Yes but it could also spread deleterious mutations. It depends on the size of the gene pool.
How can mutations in the same gene cause different types of cancer?

What chromosome is the gene of bipolar on?
bipolar susceptibility can be linked to small mutations in chromosomes 4,13,15,18, and 22.
A trait which is inherited on sex chromosomes is?
Sex-linked traits have alleles that are passed from parent to child on a sex chromosome.
What is the mild form of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome?
The mild form, X-linked thrombocytopenia, is also caused by mutations in this same gene.
What is the original source of all the different alleles of a genes?
A mutation in a pre-existing gene. If the mutation effects the phenotype derived from the gene, it is determined to be a different allele. Mutations can be small (such as a single nucleotide polymorphism) or large (such as entire genome duplication).
Different forms of a gene are called what?
Different forms of a gene are called alleles. Genes are the ones that influence the traits that will be inherited in the DNA.
What is the cause of improper functions of a gene?
gene mutations
What is driver mutation?
The mutations that confer a selective growth advantage to the tumor cell are called “driver” mutations. It has been estimated. A driver gene is one that contains driver gene mutations. But driver genes may also contain passenger gene mutations A typical tumor contains two to eight of these "driver gene" mutations; the remaining mutations are passengers that confer no selective growth advantage.
Name two major types of mutations What do they have in common How are they different Give an example of each?
Gene and chromosomal; both change DNA sequence that affects genetic information. Gene mutations involve a change in one ore several nucleotides in a single gene, whereas chromosomal mutations involve changes in the number or structure of whole chromosomes
What is an allele inherited on a sex-chromosome?
A gene found on a sex chromosome is known as a sex-linked gene. Alleles are the different forms of a gene.
An inherited disease or disorder that is caused by a mutation in a gene or by a chromosomal defect?
There are many thousands of different mutations.
What can changes in a gene do to a cell?
mutations
What can change in a gene do to a cell?
