in ___ dominance, the same phenotype results whether the dominant allele is heterozygous or homozygous.
|
complete
|
|
in __ dominance, the phenotype of the heterozygote is intermediate between those of 2 homozygotes
|
incomplete
|
|
in ____, the heterozygote exhibits the phenotypes of both homozygotes
|
codominance
|
|
in many cases, different genes interact to determine phenotypic characteristics. In _____, for example, modified mendelian ratios occur bc of gene interactions; the phenotypic expression of one gene depends on the genotype of another gene locus
|
epistasis
|
|
Alleles of certain genes may be fatal to the individual. The existence of such ___ ____ indicates that the product usually produced by the nonlethal allele is essential for the function of the organism
|
lethal allele
|
|
___= the frequency at which an allele manifests itself phenotypically within a population.
|
penetrance
|
|
___= the kind or degree of phenotypic manifestation of a gene or genotype in a particular individual
|
expressivity
|
|
what influences gene expression?
|
organisms environment, both internal and external
internal- age and sex external- nutrition, light, chemicals, temp, and infectious agents |
|
___= most of the genetic traits considered in the earlier discussion of the mendelian principles is determined predominantly by differences in genotype; that is, ____ differences result from genotypic differences
for many traits however, phenotype is influenced by genes and environment |
variation
|
|
__= allele that causes death in early development
|
lethal allele
|
|
if you see a 2:1 ratio, it is almost always produced by a recessive ____ allele.
so allele cannot be transmitted to next generation unless allele is expressed after the onset of reproduction |
lethal
|
|
examples of multiple alleles at at the same locus..
|
ABO blood types
coat colors in rabbits |
|
in ___- 1 gene hides the effects of another gene at a diff locus
|
epistasis
|
|
____ =gene does the masking
__=gene that is masked |
epistatis
hypostatic |
|
reccessive epistasis examples...needs 'ee' to get this masking
|
coat colors in labrador retreivers
|
|
__ epistasis- only 1 copy of allele at one locus is needed to mask alleles at 2nd locus
|
dominant
|
|
how does epistasis occur?
|
many cases of epistasis arised bc a gene that has an effect on a early step in a pathway will be epistatic to genes that affect subsequent steps, bc effect of enzyme in late steps depends on PRODUCT OF EARLIER REACTION
|
|
__= 5 common alleles- determines depth and distribution of color
|
agouti (A) locus
|
|
___= 2 allelels, and determines if black pigment can be formed
|
black (B) locus
|
|
____= can full color be expressed; 5 alleles; full color to fully albino
|
Albino (C) locus
|
|
__= is color diluted; intense to diluted pigmentation
|
dilution ( D) locus
|
|
__= where is genotype for the A llocus expressed? Over entire body or restricted- 5 alleles
|
extension (E) locus
|
|
__= are white spots present; 4 allelesl range from no spots to almost white
|
spotting (S) locus
|
|
__= small colored spots on white areas; 2 alleles; either ticking or no ticking; cant be expressed if no spots at the S locus
|
ticking (T) locus
|
|
The ___ gene is responsible for eumelanin pigment
|
B gene/ black
|
|
The ___ gene restricts black pigment; mostly to the mane, tail, or legs (bay)
|
the A gene
|
|
The __ allele produces no dilution
cc thought to produce true albino |
C
|
|
__ gene dilutes both black and red pigments; produces a dorsal stripe
|
d gene
|
|
___ gene produces a horse with white hairs mixed throughout the body, looks similar to gray, but has the white hairs at birth and doesnt change
|
r gene (roan)
|
|
the __gene, is a dominant gene that causes a silver dapple
makes a flaxen mane and tail |
the Z gene
|
|
the __ gene is a dominant paint gene where white crosses the top line and all legs re white
|
t (tobiano) gene
|
|
the __ gene is a dominant gene that is a paint gene
if homozygous can cause lethal white bc of lethal defect of astresia coli |
O (overo) gene
|
|
__ __ traits are determined by autosomal genes inherited according to mendels principles
-expressed differently in males and females -examples; beards on goats- only one Bb allele needed to form beards on males, and 2 copies needed to form on females |
sex influenced
|
|
extreme form of sex influenced trait is a __ ___ trait
|
sex limited
|
|
if ____ penetrance, the genotype may not express the expected phenotype
|
incomplete penetrance
|
|
__= percentage of individuals having a particular genotype that express the expected phenotype
|
penetrance
|
|
__= the degree to which a trait is expressed
|
expressivity
|
