BIO207H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Wild Type, Mitosis, Heredity
Document Summary
Looking at wild type along with mutants to gain insight into heredity. Complementary mutations and non complementary mutations: does it complement or fail to complement. If it fails to complement, the gene occur at the same locus: example of fly body colour. Done by thomas morgan"s student in his lab. Blood groups: a, b, and o: on one locations, there is dominant(i) and recessive(i) forms. Table 4. 1 describes the different blood groups and their genotypes: antigen anti body generating proteins. Different blood types can actually kill the person of the wrong blood group: type ab is a universal recipient, can receive blood from any other group. Type o is universal giver, can give blood to any other group. The mechanism of the encoded protein: the glycosyltransferase, polysaccharides glycolipids etc, most people produce h antigen, people who don"t have h antigen makes antibodies against h group.
