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 |
A |

AB |
AB |
|
BO and BB |
