The human blood group of MN is an example of
Co-Dominance
Two dominant alleles affect the phenotype in seperate, distinguishable ways. Example: Coat color in cattle
Co Dominance
The phenotype of F1 hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties
Incomplete Dominance
When the phenotypes of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are identical
Complete Dominance
Spectrum of dominance:
Co-dominance, Incomplete Dominance, Complete Dominance
A _____________ or _____________ cross is equivalent to two or more independent monohybrid crosses occuring simultaneously
Dihybrid, Multicharacter
Mendel's Laws of Segregation and independent assortment reflect the rules of ______________.
Probability.
This states that "Each pair of alleles segregates independently during gamete formation".
Laws of Independent assortment
Illustrates the inheritance of 2 characters, produces four phenotypes in the F2 generation
Dihybrid Cross
Tells us how two characters are transmitted from parents to offspring- as a package or independently
Law of independent assortment
Mendel's second law of inheritance- following two characters at the same time
law of independent assortment
Crosses an individual with the unknown genotype with an individual that is homozygous recessive for a trait
Test Cross
To determine the genotype of an organism with the dominant phenotype but unknown genotype
Test Cross
____________for a particulur gene has a pair of alleles that are different for that gene
Heterozygous
_________for a particular gene has a pair of identical alleles for that gene. Exhibits true breeding.
Homozygous.
An organism's genetic makeup
Genotype
An organism's physical appearance
Phenotype
____________ __ __________ can be better explained based on the current understanding of chromosome behavior.
Law of Segregation
A hypothesis to explain the 3:1 inheritance pattern that Mendel observed among the F2 offspring, which has 4 related concepts making up the model
Law of segregation
4th Law of Segregation
Two alleles for a heritable character seperate (segregate) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes.
3rd Law of Segregation
If the two alleles at a locus differ, then one, the dominant allele, determines the organism's appearance. The other, the recessive allele, has no noticeable effects on the organism's appearance.
2nd Law of Segregation
For each one character an organism inherits two alleles, one from each parent- two genetic loci
1st Law of Segregation
Alternative versions of genes- called alleles- account for variations in inherited characters.
Mendel developed a hypothesis to explain the 3:1 inheritance pattern that he observed amon F2 offspring.
Law of Segregation
General finding for Mendel's Pea Plant Experiment in 1857.
"When pollen from a white flower fertilizes eggs of a purple flower, the first generation hybrids (F1) all have purple flowers.
Alternate forms of genes (fp or fw)
Alleles
A variant of a character: ex. purple or white flower
Trait
Genetic unit for character(f)
Gene
A heritable feature, such as flower color
Character
Parents pass on discrete heritable units, genes. (The gene idea)
Particulate Hypothesis
Idea that genetic material contributed by two parents mixes in a manner analougous to the way blue and yellow paint blend to make green.
Blending Hypothesis
Pea plants were particularly well suited for use in Mendel's experiments because:
Peas have an unusually long generation time
_________ ____________ is encoded in the DNA and reproduced in all cells of our body
Hereditary information
The ABO blood group in humans is an example of:
Multiple Alleles
A plant with purple flowers is allowed to self pollinate. Generation after generation it produces purple
True Breeding
What is the difference between a monohybrid cross and a dihybrid cross
A monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for a single character, whereas a dihybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for two characters.
A cross between homozygous purple flowered and homozygous white-flowered pea plants results in offspring with purple flowers: This demonstrates:
Dominance
A 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ration is characteristic of what?
Dihybrid cross
Two plants are crossed, resulting in offspring with a 3:1 ratio for a particular trait. This suggests:
That the parents were both heterozygous
What is genetic cross between an individual showing a dominant phenotype (but of unknown genotype)and a homozygous recessive individual called?
Test Cross
What is true of alleles?
1. They can be identical or different for any given gene in a somatic cell
2. They can be dominant or recessive
3. They can represent alternative forms of a gene
