The July 2000 issue of Nature Genetics is available online. July 2000 Previous Next Counting sheep Nature Genetics pp 279 - 283 Ovulation - the periodic release of an egg cell from the ovary - is an essential process in mammalian reproduction. The action of the hormones involved in ovulation, such as luteinizing hormone and the ever-popular oestrogen and progesterone, is well understood, but how other factors influence it is less clear. In humans, as well as cattle and sheep, only one egg is normally released - which can sometimes split and give rise to identical twins. But if multiple ovulations take place simultaneously, several eggs can be fertilized and fraternal twins or even triplets can be conceived. Genetic factors have long been suspected to contribute to this process, but precisely what they might be has remained obscure. Years of animal breeding have led to the implication of genetic factors in the regulation of ovulation. For example, a tendency to produce fraternal twins and triplets at higher-than-normal frequency has been observed in specific breeds of sheep, such as the 'Inverdale' and the 'Hanna'. From breeding experiments, it is known that something on the X chromosome predisposes these sheep to multiple ovulations, but only when present in one copy - it causes infertility when an animal has two copies.

Extractions: Due Date : Monday, April 3rd. An additional 5 points will be given to anyone who submits the report by Friday, March 31. Directions This assignment continues our study of genetic disorders. You are free to choose any disease or trait that is in your family where there is literature on the topic. However, the choice of topic is on a first come, first serve policy. Everyone gets their own topic, unique to their family. You should add a personal "flavor" to your report with a brief history of who in your family is afflicted with a disease or illustrates the trait or is a carrier for a trait. MLA Format is required for Works Cited and parenthetical citations (in-text documentation) See IMC Home Page The information to be included in this report is broken down in a rubric The report should be approximately 4-5 written pages, single space. You are required to use at least three sources of information on your family disease or trait. All sources should be current - no older than 5 to 7 years. Resources Books

Extractions: Resources Color blindness is an abnormal condition characterized by the inability to clearly distinguish different colors of the spectrum. The difficulties can be mild to severe. It is a misleading term because people with color blindness are not blind. Rather, they tend to see colors in a limited range of hues; a rare few may not see colors at all. Normal color vision requires the use of specialized receptor cells called cones, which are located in the retina of the eye. There are three types of cones, termed red, blue, and green, which enable people to see a wide spectrum of colors. An abnormality, or deficiency, of any of the types of cones will result in abnormal color vision. There are three basic variants of color blindness. Red/green color blindness (deuteranopia) is the most common deficiency, affecting 8% of Caucasian males and 0.5% of Caucasian females. The prevalence varies with culture. Blue color blindness (protanopia) is an inability to distinguish both blue and yellow, which are seen as white or gray. Protanopia is quite rare and has equal prevalence in males and females. It is common for young children to have blue/green confusion that becomes less pronounced in adulthood. Blue color deficiency often appears in people who have physical disorders such as liver disease or
