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 |
