|
Two-Factor Cross
|
Follow inheritance of 2 different traits.
- 2 genes linked so that variants found together in parents are always inherited as a unit - 2 genes are independent and randomly distributed |
|
|
Dihybrid Offspring
|
Offspring are hybrids with respect to both traits.
|
|
|
Law of Independent Assortment
|
Alleles of different genes assort independently of each other during gamete formation
|
|
|
Chromosome Theory of inheritance
|
Chromosomes contain the genetic material, which is transmitted from parent to offspring and from cell to cell. Genes are found in the chromosomes.
-Chromosomes are replicated and passed from parent to offspring. They are also passed from cell to cell during the multicellular development of an organism. Each type of chromosome retains its individuality during cell division and gamete formation. --The nucleus of a diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, which are found in homologous pairs. One member of each pair is inherited from the mother and the other from the father. The maternal and paternal sets of homologous chromosomes are functionally equivalent; each set carries a full complement of genes. |

|
Locus
|
Physical location of a gene on a chromosme
|
|
|
Probability
|
Chance that an event will have a particular outcome
|
|
|
Random Sampling Error
|
Deviation between observed and expected outcome
|
|
|
Sum Rule
|
Probability that one of two or more mutually exclusive outcomes will occur is the sum of the probabilities of the possible outcomes.
|
|
|
Pedigree Analysis
|
Inherited trait is analyzed over the course of a few generations in one family. (example: cystic fibrosis)
