anther

A

where male gametes made (pollen)

21
Q

A

sticky for pollen

22
Q

p generation

A

parents, original crossbreed, hybrid

23
Q

f1 generation

A

filial, first set of offspring

24
Q

f2 generation

A

self pollinated of f1

25
principal law of segregation
alleles separate, genotype doesn't stick together from parents
26
complex alleles
blood type, trait has 72 alleles
27
agglutination
process that occurs if antigen is combined with antibody
28
blood type - Intrinsic factor
A, B, O - I
29
IªIª Iªi IªI^b I^bI^b I^bi ii
type A type A type AB type B type B type O
30
Rn factor
Rn+/Rn+ Rn+/Rn- Rn-/Rn-
31
autosomal
carrier - carried but not expressed because of dominant covering it, 2 heterozygous make a recessive
32
autosomal recessive traits - diseases
albinism cystic fibrosis sickle cell anemia tay-sachs PKU
33
albinism
not enough melanin
34
cystic fibrosis
body produces unusually thick, sticky, mucus clogs lungs
35
sickle cell anemia
red blood cell has cresent shape less oxygen
36
tay-sachs
lipids build up in brain
37
PKU
can't break down amino acids results in brain damage
38
autosomal dominant traits - diseases
Huntington's disease progeria
39
Huntington's disease
break down of brain cells causes uncontrolled movements, emotional disturbance, loss of intellect
40
progeria
premature aging, alopecia, small face and jaw, cardiovascular problems, wrinkled skin
41
sex linked traits - diseases
color blindness hemophilia
42
color blindness
xªy, recessive, only females give ,xªxª
43
hemophilia
inability of blood to clot properly, only females give
44
probability
chance an event will happen
45
mutations
amino acids life because of proteins, only know mutations because of karyotyping downsyndrome klinefelter syndrome turner syndrome
46
down syndrome
trisomy (nondisjunction)
47
klinefelter syndrome
in males, XXY, usually sterile (nondisjunction)
48
Turner syndrome
girls, missing chromosome, X, usually sterile
