Non Mendelian

Question 1

is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms.

Answer 1

genetics

Question 2

also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring

Answer 2

heredity

Question 3

is the acquisition/reception of genetic qualities of parents to offspring

Answer 3

inheritance

Question 4

is the difference in DNA among individuals or the differences between populations

Answer 4

variation

Question 5

is the set of observable characteristics or traits of an organism

Answer 5

phenotype

Question 6

is acomplete set of genetic materia

Answer 6

genotype

Question 7

any of the alternative forms of gene in a genotype

Answer 7

Alleles

Question 8

isthe basic physical and functional unit of heredity

Answer 8

genes

Question 9

an inherited characteristic that appears in an offspring if it is contributed from a parent through a dominant allele

Answer 9

dominant trait

Question 10

isa trait that is expressed when an organism has two recessive alleles, or forms of a gene

Answer 10

recessive trait

Question 11

is made up of two of the SAME alleles

Answer 11

Homozygous

Question 12

is made up of two DIFFERENT alleles

Answer 12

Heterozygous

Question 13

isa table in which all of the possible outcomes for a genetic cross between two individuals with known genotypes are given

Answer 13

punnet square

Question 14

isany pattern of inheritance in which traits do not segregate in accordance with Mendel’s laws.

Answer 14

non mendelian inheritance

Question 15

It is a form of intermediate inheritance in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, resulting in a NEW PHENOTYPE.

Answer 15

incomplete dominance

Question 16

The term ”incomplete dominance” was proposed by the German botanist

Answer 16

Carl Correns(1864–1933).

Question 17

Both alleles are EXPRESSED EQUALLY in the phenotype of the heterozygote

Answer 17

codominance

Question 18

isan individual’s complete set of chromosomes.

Answer 18

KARYOTYPE

Question 19

isa type of chromosome involved in sex determination.

Answer 19

sex chromosome

Question 20

the sex of an individual is determined by the sex chromosomes contributed to the zygote by the sperm and the egg.

Answer 20

sex determination

Question 21

These are the female sex cells

Answer 21

egg cell

Question 22

these are the male gametes

Answer 22

gametes

Question 23

The process involved in which sperm and egg cell unites to form a zygote

Answer 23

fertilization

Question 24

A threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of most living cells, carrying genetic information in the form of genes

Answer 24

chromosome

Question 25

are numbered chromosomes that contain genes for anything that does not relate to sex determination.

Answer 25

Autosomes

Question 26

those traits limited to only one sex.

Answer 26

-Sex-limited traits

Question 27

are autosomal traits that are influenced by sex. If a male has one recessive allele, he will show that trait, but it will take two recessive for the female to show that same trait. One such gene is baldness.

Answer 27

Sex-influenced traits

Question 28

are genes found either on X or Y chromosomes which are inherited differences among male and a female..

Answer 28

Sex-linked genes

Question 29

X-linked Inheritance The X chromosome is larger than the Y chromosome. Any disorder or trait that is transmitted from the X chromosome is termed an X-linked inheritance. X-linked inheritance can either be recessive or dominan

Answer 29

X-linked Inheritance

Question 30

If the mutated gene is present in the Y chromosome, then this is referred to as Y-linked inheritance. Since the Y chromosome is present in males only, Y-linked disorders are passed from fathers to male offspring. Hypertrichosis (presence of long dark hair on the ears) is an example of Y-linked inheritance.

Answer 30

Y-linked Inheritance

Question 31

an example of an X-linked trait is a rare genetic disorder in which a person lacks enough blood-clotting proteins caused by a change in one of the genes

Answer 31

hemophilia

Question 32

Is another condition of the X-linked trait. These traits will be manifested in females who have two genes of color-blindness. Meanwhile, in males, there is only one gene of the disorder needed to express the phenomenon. Males are more likely to be colorblind due to the fact that they only have 1 X chromosome

Answer 32

color blindness
