Maternal Child Nursing Care Ch. 6


Nikilas Cuddeback
This flashcard set covers advanced genetic concepts and maternal-child nursing care at the university level. It delves into genetic testing, chromosome structures, and disorders, focusing on terms like gene, chromosome, and testing. The flashcards also explore the developing baby, placenta, and uterine structures, including key terms like membrane, sperm, and placenta. This set is ideal for nursing students and healthcare professionals who need to understand genetic conditions, fetal development, and maternal health to provide informed care and support.

Twins that are formed from two zygotes are also called...

Fraternal Twins

Twins that are formed from one fertilized ovum that then divides

Monozygotic

Twins that are formed from one fertilized ovum are also called....

Identical Twins

The hereditary material carried in the nucleus of each somatic cell; it determines an individual's characteristics

DNA

The process by which germ cells divide, producing gametes that each contain 23 chromosomes

Meiosis

Failure of a pair of chromosomes to seperate

 

Nondisjunction

Basic physical units of inheritacne that are passed from parents to offspring and contain the information needed to specify traits

Genes

Abnormality in chromosome number; the numeric deviation is not an exact multiple of the haploid number of chromosomes

Aneuploidy

Cells that contain half of the genetic material of a normal somatic cell

Haploid

Union of a normal gamete with a gamete containing an extra chromosome resultin in a cell with 47 chromosomes

Trisomy

X, Y

Sex chromosomes

Genes at corresponding loci on homologous chromosomes that code for different forms or variations of the same trait

mutation

Process whereby body cells replicate to yield two cells with the same genetic makeup as the parent cell

Mitosis

Term that denotes the correct umber of chromosomes

Euploidy

The complete set of genetic inheritance in the nucleus of each human cell

Human genome

Process by which genetic material is transferred from one chromsome to another different chromosome

Translocation

Threadlike packages of genes and other DNA in the nucleus of a cell

 

Chromsome

Abnormality in chromosome number in which the deviation is an exact multiple of the haploid number of chromosomes

Polyploidy

Somatic cell containing the full number of 46 chromosomes

Diploid

Union of a normal gamete with a gamete missing a chromosome, resulting in a cell with only 45 chromosomes

Monosomy

A spontaneous and permanent change in normal gene structure 

mutation

A mixture of cells, some with the normal number of chromosomes and others either missing a chromosome or containing an extra chromosome

mosaicism

Environmental substance or exposure that results in functional or structural disability of the embryo/fetus.

Teratogen

Analysis of human DNA, RNA, chromosomes, orproteins to detect abnormalities related to an inherited condition

Genetic Testing

Direct examination of the DNA and RNA that make up a gene

Direct or molecular testing

Examination of the markers that are co-inherited with a gene that causes a genetic condition

Linkage analysis

Examination of the protein products of genes

Biochemical testing

Examination of chromosomes

Cytogenetic testing

Genetic testing that is used to clarify the genetic status of asymptomatic family members

Predictive testing

Genetic testing used to detect a disorder that is certain to appear if the defective gene is present and the individual lives long enough

Presymptomatic testing

Genetic testing used to detect susceptibility to a disorder if the defective gene is present

Predispositional testing

Test used to identify individuals who have a gene mutation for a genetic condition but do not show symptoms of the condition because it is a condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive form

Carrier screening

Use of genetic information to individiualize drug therapy

Pharmacogenomics

Therapy used to correct defective genes that are responsible for disease development; the most common technique is to insert a normal gene in a location within the genome to replace a gene that is non-functional

Gene (Transfer) Therapy

Matched chromosomes

Homologous

Tern that denotes a indivdual with two copies of the same allele for a given trait 

Homozygous

If two alelles are different then a person is said to be ____ for the trait

heterozygous

The genetic makeup of an individual; an individual's entire genetic makeup or all the genes taht the perosn can pass on to future generations

Genotype

Observable expression of an individual's genetic makeup

Phenotype

Pictorial analysis of the number, form, and size of an individual's chromsomes

Karyotype

Study
