Gametes

Sex cells, haploid

Somatic cells

Body cells, diploid

Polygenic

Many genes determine one trait

Pleiotropic

One gene determines many traits

Mendelian traits

1 gene determines 1 trait

Gene

Section of DNA that contains genetic info

Alleles

Genes that determine traits (the letters)

Polyploid

More than 2 sets of chromosomes

Phenotype

Physical trait

Genotype

Pair of allele type

Sex linked inheritance

Genes that are carried by either sex chromosome

Monohybrid

One trait = one gene Pp x pp

Dihybrid

Two traits, two genes PpYy x ppyy

Test cross

Cross unknown with homozygous to determine unknown

Parental

P

F1

First children

Independent assortment

Yellow vs green does not affect round vs wrinkled

Segregation

Everything is coin flip, random. Each organism has two genes for each trait

Incomplete dominance

Dominant allele is not completely expressed. White flower crossed with red flower results in pink flower.

Codominance

Alleles work together, black chicken crossed with white chicken results in black and white speckled chickens

Autosomes

Chromosomes that are the same in both males and females.

Human chromosomes except sex chromosomes

Are autosomes. Sex is determined by father because mother only gives one X

Karyotype

Number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus. Tested with amniocentesis

Karyotyping

Checking size, shape, number of chromosome under microscope to detect genetic disorders

Autosomal dominant

One homozygous recessive parent and one heterozygous parent. Child has 50% chance of inheritance

Autosomal recessive

Only expressed in homozygotes, hetero are carriers. 25% affected

Progeria

Accelerated aging due to genetic disorder of spontaneous mutations in autosomes

X-linked recessive

Males get it more cause they dont have a backup X to be healthy

Duplication

Duplicated segment in DNA

Inversion

Inverted segment in DNA

Translocation

Broken chromosomes exchange parts

Deletion

Loss of segment

Aneuploidy

Too many or too few copies of one chromosome

Polyploidy

More than two copies of each chromosome

Nondisjunction

Chromosomes fail to seperate properly during mitosis/meiosis

Monosomy

Missing gamete

Trisomy

One too many gametes

Pedigree

Chart of genetic connections

Genetic counseling

Parents are tested for probability of having child with disorder

Genetic screening

Check family members and children for genetic disorders

Rh factor

If you have the protein on RBC you are poisitive, if not youre negative. Positive is dominant

AA and AO
