AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So Tay-Sachs is actually again due to a single mutation in one gene, like a point mutation
that leads to lysosomes in neurons and brain cells malfunctioning. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | And basically it's missing a hydrolytic enzyme that hydrolyses and breaks down and digests
fat. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So a person who is homozygous recessive for Tay-Sachs, their brain will actually over
their first couple years of life will accumulate with undigested fat and that leads to paralysis,
blindness, deafness, and eventually death as their brain is no longer able to work as
it fills up. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So very like devastating trait to inherit. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | And then we have another inherited disorder, Huntington's disease. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | Now Huntington's disease is actually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | And so with this, it isn't due to a single like point mutation but rather a duplication. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | There's a certain sequence in the DNA that is replicated over and over and over. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So a person with 35 or more of the CAG repeat, so it's basically like you copy and paste
it multiple times a section so their gene is actually very long and then the protein
is very long. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | It actually causes the neurons in that person with Huntington's to like degenerate over
time to like break down and no longer work. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | And so therefore it has like debilitating consequences. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | Now the issue with Huntington's disease however is that it is adult onset. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | The symptoms of Huntington's disease don't show up until you're already past reproductive
years. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So you start to see symptoms between like 30 and 50 years old but by then you've already
had offspring. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So even though it's a dominant disorder, a dominant disease that you can inherit, you
could be carrying that dominant allele and not know it until you're already older and
past reproductive years so therefore you can still pass it on. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | Thankfully we live in a time where we can have our DNA analyzed and now we can be checked
to see if we are carrying or not carrying, if we do have the allele for Huntington's
disease that we inherited from parents or not. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So yeah, thankfully we live in the modern age and we don't have to guess. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | Okay, and then now we're going to move into talking about traits on X chromosome, so sex
linked traits. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So here when we talk about, I don't really consider color blindness to be a disorder
but it is a human condition that can be inherited, right? |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So females who are homozygous dominant or heterozygous would not be color blind but
if they're homozygous recessive they are color blind and then males, males are called hemizygous,
they only have one X and so therefore they only have one allele so males tend to be color
blind more often than females because they never have a chance to get that second dominant
allele. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | But here is another example of an inherited human condition due to a single allele, on
this case on the X chromosome. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | And then our last part of this standard is about specific chromosomal changes such as
non-disjunction. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So I have a whole separate video and PowerPoint on non-disjunction but this is really due
to either homologous pairs or sister chromatids failing to separate properly during meiosis
and it leads to an individual being born with an extra or missing chromosome. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | So Down syndrome for example would be an example of non-disjunction and that's an inherited
syndrome due to an extra chromosome having 47 chromosomes. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | There's other ones like trisomy 18, the Klinefelter Jacob syndrome, there's a handful of other
ones but here we have Down syndrome as my example. |
AP Biology Topic 5.6 Chromosomal Inheritance | Alright, alright this is it for unit 5, great job. |

Ecosystems | Hi. |
Ecosystems | It's Mr. Andersen. |
Ecosystems | Welcome to Biology Essentials video 47. |
Ecosystems | This is on ecosystems. |
Ecosystems | And we happen to live next to one of the most famous ecosystems on the planet. |
Ecosystems | That's the
Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. |
Ecosystems | So we live right here in Bozeman which is about 60 miles
north as a crow flies from Yellowstone National Park. |
Ecosystems | And so when we're talking about ecosystems
we should figure out where in ecology what level we're at. |
Ecosystems | So remember Bebekpo is biosphere,
biome, ecosystem, community, population, organism. |
Ecosystems | And so basically what is an ecosystem? |
Ecosystems | An
ecosystem is going to be all of the biotic and abiotic characteristics in an area. |
Ecosystems | And
so Yellowstone Park was founded in 1872 and it was mostly founded to protect these geothermal
features. |
Ecosystems | And so what is most famous would probably be Old Faithful which is about right
here. |
Ecosystems | But Yellowstone is situated on this giant Yellowstone caldera which is kind of
like that. |
Ecosystems | And so when they established Yellowstone Park they established it just to protect the
geothermal features. |
Ecosystems | So the hot springs, the boiling mud and all of that. |
Ecosystems | But what they
ended up doing luckily is preserving one of the most pristine ecosystems on our planet. |
Ecosystems | And so Yellowstone Park, if I look over on this map, if I were to trace it, it's about
right here. |
Ecosystems | So this is right on the corner of Wyoming and it goes into Montana and Idaho
over here. |
Ecosystems | But if you look at around here there's all these national forests. |
Ecosystems | And so
we eventually have this giant ecosystem which is kind of in this brownish area. |
Ecosystems | They didn't
really start talking about it as an ecosystem until the 1970's when they were studying grizzly
bears. |
Ecosystems | And they found that grizzly bears were in trouble. |
Ecosystems | But this was kind of where they
ranged. |
Ecosystems | So this was their range. |
Ecosystems | But you can see over here that we're not sure what an
actual ecosystem is. |
Ecosystems | How big it is and how big we should make that. |
Ecosystems | What's interesting
is that this is all a national park. |
Ecosystems | And these are national forests around it. |
Ecosystems | But once we
move out into here we're moving into private land. |
Ecosystems | And so there's an interesting kind of
conflict that comes up when we move from national land to land that's actually owned by people. |
Ecosystems | The wildlife isn't but the land surely is. |
Ecosystems | And so it's a hard thing to maintain. |
Ecosystems | But
even with all of that, greater Yellowstone ecosystem is the most pristine ecosystem in
the northern latitudes. |
Ecosystems | Especially in North America that we have. |
Ecosystems | So it's pretty cool. |
Ecosystems | It's nice to live right next door. |
Ecosystems | So basically in this podcast I'm going to talk about ecosystems
and how they're affected by their environment. |
Ecosystems | Remember they get energy from the sun. |
Ecosystems | But
the matter has to be recycled. |
Ecosystems | And so the combination of energy coming in and then the
matter, especially carbon being recycled, we come to a new term here. |
Ecosystems | That's called
primary productivity. |
Ecosystems | So depending on where you are on the planet, you have either a high
level or a low level of primary productivity. |
Ecosystems | Basically what that is, is the producers in
an area. |
Ecosystems | It's how much biomass they're laying down. |
Ecosystems | As a result of that we have these very
complex reactions. |
Ecosystems | And so those are called food chains. |
Ecosystems | It's basically a feeding chain. |
Ecosystems | And if we get more complex that's called a food web. |
Ecosystems | But remember every organism that's
living in an ecosystem is adapted to that environment. |
Ecosystems | And those specific constraints. |
Ecosystems | Now sometimes there will be impacts on an ecosystem. |
Ecosystems | And so those impacts can be biotic
or abiotic. |
Ecosystems | Remember they could be living or non-living. |
Ecosystems | But basically what that does
is create competition. |
Ecosystems | And so all populations are limited by the amount of availability
of these resources that they have. |
Ecosystems | And so eventually all populations will undergo logistic
growth. |
Ecosystems | Now if we let things run naturally they tend to fit a regular balance or find
an equilibrium. |
Ecosystems | But lots of times humans will make changes and those changes can have very
quick impacts on an ecosystem and sometimes can lead to extinctions. |
Ecosystems | And so let's get
started. |
Ecosystems | Let's first start by defining what primary productivity is. |
Ecosystems | Primary productivity
as I mentioned just a second ago is how much livable mass is being laid down by the producers
in an area. |
Ecosystems | Remember the producers are going to be those things that do photosynthesis. |
Ecosystems | And so they're using energy and then they're weaving matter together to make life. |
Ecosystems | And
so if we look on our planet we find here in the ocean we're going to have, this is measuring
the amount of chlorophyll A, we're going to have a higher primary productivity here and
here than we are right at the equator. |
