IT IS TOUGH TO BE JEWISH

hey guys! so today we got bear stamps for our homework last night. Sadly there was no video at the start of class so I can't talk about that. Well today we went over the possible genetic disorders from having to many or not enough chromosomes. We went over which chromosome pairs could have the disorder and that was 21, 13, and 18. If you have too many chromosomes on the 21st pair then the disorder is down syndrome. If you have too many on the 13th pair then the disease is Patau syndrome. If you have an extra chromosome on your 18th chromosome then you have Edwards syndrome. We then went over the sex chromosome disorders. The disorder for females is Turner syndrome. Turner syndrome gives females a webbed neck and poor breast development. They also are not as fertile and have a harder time getting pregnant. The disorder for males is called the klinefelter syndrome. This happens when a man has an extra X chromosome. They sometimes have high pitched voices and have some breast development and they don't grow very much facial hair. After that we talked about why certain ethnicities and religions have disorders that are common. The reason is that they are likely to get married to each other and then they make a child that has a bigger chance of getting that disorder. And us jews have it pretty rough. We have like 3 disorders that are common in our population.
Our homework tonight is UP 67-71 and there a quiz tomorow

WELL THATS ALL I GOT! I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANKS TO MADISON!
