Q

Roll dice once, whats the probability of getting either a 5 or a 6

Q

Mendels effectiveness was due to

A
  1. Choice of subject - easy to grow, grows rapidly

Q

In a ________ parents differ in a single characteristic

Study These Flashcards
A
  • monohybrid cross
25
The __________ states that alleles at different loci separate independently of one another
- principle of independent assortment
26
During _______ two alleles separate when gametes are formed, one allele to each gamete one from both parents and separate with equal probability into gametes
- segregation
27
In a branch diagram you can obtain both ___________ and _________ ratios
- genotypic and phenotypic
28
A ______ is an attribute or feature
- character or characteristic
29
The chromosomal theory heredity stated that
- homologous pairs segregate independently at meiosis
30
A genotypic ratio for a heterozygous cross will result in a ______ ratio
- 1:2:1
31
Each trait has 2 different _______ that result in different traits and gives _____ possible combinations
- unit factors | - 3
32
In a cross of TtxTt what are the chances you get a tall plant?
- Tall is TT or Tt | - 1/4 (TT) + 1/4 (Tt) + 1/4 (Tt)= 3/4
33
In autosomal dominant traits they appear _______ in males and females. Unaffected individuals ______ transmit to offspring, affected individuals have a _____ parent
- equally - do not - affected
34
Different alleles occupy the same locus on _______ chromosomes
- homologous
35
The phenotypic ratio for a heterozygous cross is ________
- 3:1
36
If autosomal dominant fill in ___ with all unaffected individuals first
- dd
37
a ______ is a genetic factor that helps determine a characteristic
- gene
38
What is the probability of these parents (Aa) having 3 kids with albinism (aa)?
- 1st child AND 2nd AND 3rd | - 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4
39
A ______ is a set of alleles that an individual possesses
- genotype
40
To determine the genotypic and phenotypic ratios use a _________
- Punnet Square
41
What is the probability of rolling the die twice and getting 4 both times
- independent of eachother - multiplication rule - 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36
42
A ________ is an individual possessing two different alleles at a locus
- heterozygote
43
In a homozygous cross traits that were observed in F1 are known as ________ traits and those that disappeared are _________
- dominant | - recessive
44
autosomal __________ traits can not skip generations if affected
- dominant
45
What is the probability of getting TT offspring in a TtxTt cross
- prob of T from one parent is 1/2 AND prob of T from the other 1/2 - 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4
46
The Chi squared test cannot be used to.. .(1 and 2) | It can be used to.... (3)
1. tell us if a cross has been done correctly 2. tell us if the results are correct 3. it indicates the probability that the difference between the observed and expected is due to chance
47
autosomal __________ disorders are more common in consanguineous families
- recessive
48
Chi-Square (X^2) Test
- used to determine the possibility that the difference between the observed and the expected values is due to chance
49
If P >/= 0.05.... | If P< .05...
- differences likely caused by chance (random) | - assume chance is NOT responsible and a significant difference exists
50
___________ are pictorial representations of a family history
- Pedigrees
51
A _____ is one of two or more alternative forms of a gene
- allele
52
A genotypic ratio for a heterozygous and homozygous cross is _______
- 1:1
53
Two alleles segregate during _______ or _______ (depends on whether or not crossing over has occurred)
- anaphase 1 or 2
54
Multiplication/Product Rule
- events must be independent - use when you see the word AND * multiply fractions across the top then across the bottom
55
Chi Squared Formula
X^2= (#observed-#expected)^2 / (#expected) - do this for all classes then add the results of both
56
A ______ is a specific place on a chromosome occupied by an allele
- locus
57
Mendel studied genetics using ________ as his subject
- pea plants
58
To determine whether something is homozygous or heterozygous use a ________
- test cross
