Final Study Flashcards
An induviduals characteristics are determined by what?
Factors that are passed from one parental generation of the next
What do alleles do so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene
They segregate from each other so that each hamate only carries one gene. This happens during gamete formation
Genetics
Scientific study of heredity
Process in sexual reproduction in which male and female reproductive cells join to form a new cell
Fertilization
Specific characteristic of an induvidual
Trait
Hybrid
Child of crosses between parents with different traits
Sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trip; factor that is passed to offspring
Gene
Allele
One of a number of different forms of a gene
Mendels second conclusion’ which states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive
Principle of dominance
Seperaton of alleles during gamete formation
Segregation
Sex cell
Gamete
What are Punnett squares used for?
They use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations inn genetic crosses.
What does the principle of independent assortment state?
That genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes.
Homozygous
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
RR
Heterozygous
Having two different alleles for a particular gene
Physical characteristics of an organism,
Phenotype
Genetic makeup of an organism
Genotype
Independent assortment
One of medals principals that states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes
Some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive. Mini jeans exist in several different forms and are there for said to have multiple alleles. Many traits are produced by the interaction of several genes
.
Can environmental conditions affect gene expression influence genetically and determine traits?
Yes
Incomplete dominance
A situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another allele
Co dominance
Situation in which the phenotypes produced by both alleles are clearly expressed
Situation in which a gene with more than two alleles is known as
Multiple alleles
Unlike mitosis, meiosis in mammals results in the formation of
Four haploid gametes
A gene map shows…
The relative locations of jeans on a chromosome
What happens to the chromosome number during meiosis?
It halves
What ratio did Mendel find in his F2 generation
3 : 1
What happens during telophase 2
Four haploid daughter cells are formed
