- 行为遗传学 行为遗传学
背景情况:
- 父亲的环境暴露会影响后代的健康.
- 怀孕前父亲的乙醇消费是发育异常的潜在危险因素.
- 了解代际和跨代的影响对于公共卫生至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 在老鼠模型中研究了先入为主的父性乙醇暴露 (PPEE) 的代际和跨代影响.
- 为了评估后代的行为变化,发育迟缓和乙醇敏感性,在父亲暴露于酒精后.
- 检查PPEE对后代的性别特异性影响.
主要方法:
- 斯普雷格·道利大鼠 (F0) 经历了长期自愿的乙醇消耗.
- 在一个精子生成周期后,雄性大鼠 (F0) 与未曾饮过乙醇的雌性大鼠交配.

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance
33.0K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
6.4K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
