blending theory. . .
|
hereditary material from each paretns mixes in each offspring
offspring's traits are intermediate between the two parents traits once traits had blended they could not be separated out individuals of a population would reach a uniform appearance after many generations |

Gergor Mendel

|
What does the particulate theory of herdity state?
|
parents transmit to their offspring descrete inheritable facotrs (genes) that remain as deiscrete, separable factors from one generation to the next
|
|
compare the blending theory to the particulate theory of inheritance
|
blending theory says that offspring traits are typically intermediate between the two parent's traits but this is not true. In reality, they may appear like one or the other or may have a different pheotype not predicted by the parent's phenyotypes.
blending theory says once traits are blended they cannot be separated again to appear in later generations this is not true. Traits can skip generations blending theory says that individuals of a population would reach a uniform appearance after many generations but this is false |

|
To determine whether an organism exhibiting the dominant phenotype (P_) is homozygous dominant or heterozygous what is used?
|
test cross
|
|
what is the test cross and who designed it?
|
Mendel, helps determine whether an organism exhibiting the dominant phenotype (P_) is homozygous dominant or heterozygous.
You cross an organism of unknown phenotype against a truebreeding homozygous recessive. |
|
sex of the parents is irrelevant with respect to the dominant or recessive trait exhibited in the offspring produced by the cross.
|
Law of Parental Equivalence.
|
|
sex of the parent does not influence the dominant or recessive trait that is inherited from that parent and either trait can be inherited from either parent
|
Law of parental equivalence
|
|
What is the Law of Parental Equivalence?
|
the sex of the parent does not influence the dominant or recessive trait that is inherited and either dominant or recessive trait can be inherited from either parent.
|
|
Each pair of alleles segregates into gametes independently
|
law of independent assortment
|
|
what cross is used to demonstrate the law of segregation?
|
monohybrid cross
|
|
what is a cross between two parental varieties that differed in each of the two different characters
|
dihybrid cross
|
|
what cross is used to demonstrate the law of independent assortment?
|
dihybrid cross
|
|
what is a dihybrid cross?
|
a cross between twoo parents varieties that different in each of the two different characters
|
|
two different true breeding plants for two different contrasting phenotypes, consisting of two different characters is what?
|
dihybrid cross
|
|
What was the null hypothesis of independent assortment?
|
for F1, the two characters are transmitted from parents to offspring as a phackage, Y and R alleles and y and r alleles would stay together. If this were the case then F1 offspring would only have yellow-round seeds or green-wrinkled seeds. You would not see a mix of both. this hypothesis was not consistent with Medel's results
|
|
what was the alternative hypothesis of independent assortment?
|
two pairs of alleles segregate independently from each other. Each allele has no impact on another. When F1 produce gametes, there will be all possible allele combinations.
|
|
What phenotypic ratio and genotypic ratio do you get for independent assortment?
|
pheno= 9:3:3:1
geno= 1RRYY: 2RRYy:1RRyy:2RrYY:4RrYy:2Rryy:1rrYY:2rrYY:1rryy |
|
what pheotypic and genotypic ratio do you get for a dihybrid cross?
|
pheno= 9:3:3:1
geno= 1RRYY: 2RRYy:1RRyy:2RrYY:4RrYy:2Rryy:1rrYY:2rrYY:1rryy |
|
why does indpendent assorment work?
|
because, genes are on different chromosome pairs and chromosomes sort out independently of all the other ones in meiosis.
|
|
How can you determine the number of types of gametes that could be produced by one genotype?
|
2 to the (n)th power. N = the number of heterozygous genes
|
|

|
no, it was ignored for about 30 years until about 1900 when three different geneticists independently came up with the same ideas.
|
|

|
Darwin
|
|
Darwin published what book?
|
Origin of the species
|
|
scietists tied whos work to who? what solution was found?
|
tied Mendel's work with Darwin and the solution to Darwin's weakest link in his theory of evolution was found.
|
|
what is the neodarwinian theory?
|
a fusion of Mendel and Darwin
|
|
Law of independent assortment holds only if one or both of the following conditions are met. . .
|
1. genes are on separate chromosoes
2. genes are widely separated on the same chromosome |
|
When genes are on separate chromsomes then it is possible for what law to be true?
|
law of independent assortment
|
|
when genes are weidely separated on the same chromosome then what law is true. . .?
|
law of independent assortment
|
|
neither allele is completely dominant and the F1 generation have a phenotype somewhere between the two phenotypes of the parents
Therefore the F1 generation show a distinct phenotype no seen in the parents homozygotes. |
incomplete dominance
|
|
Incomplete dominance
|
where the parents have alleles that are not completely dominant, this makes the F1 generation have a completely new and different phenotype somewhere between the parent phenotypes
|
|
incomplete dominance in heterozygotes . . .
|
show three different phenotypes: both of the parents phenotypes and double the heterozygote which makes a 1:2:1 ratio for both genotypic and phenotypic
|
|
when genotypic and phenotypic share the same ratio 1:2:1, the alleles show
|
incomplete dominance
|
|
what does the pink color come from when a red flower is mixed with a white flower?
|
incomplete dominance, heterozygote produces only half as much pigment as the homozygous dominant plant (red) does so this gives the plant the more red tint to it.
|
|
codominance
|
two alleles both affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways
|
|
two alleles affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways
|
codominance
|
|
what is the difference between codominance and incomplete dominance?
|
codominance is not an intermediate between parent phenotypes (incomplete dominance) instead, it's an expression of BOTH phenotypes.
