autotroph

genetics

the study of heredity, the way in which hereditary traits are passed from parents to offspring

heredity

transmission of traits from parents to their offspring

species characterisitics

traits that all members of a species have,



for example,


(why the organism such as a dog looks like a dog, they all have 4 legs, certain hair types, etc.)

individual characterisitics

specific traits


(long hair, spotted fur, pointed noise, stripes)

two things that influence individual characteristics

1. heredity - traits (genes) from parents


Heredity determines what the individual is


2. environment -


nutrition, experiences(childhood)


environment influences what kind of individual it becomes

Gregor Mendel

given credit for beginning geneteics

Mendel's three principles of heredity

1. principle of dominance - because of dominance, the effects of the recessive genes are not observed when the dominant gene is present.


2. principles of segregation - alleles for the same trait separate (segregate) during the formation of gametes


3. Principle of independent assortment - genes for different traits are distributed to the reproductive cells independently.

chromosome theory

genes are located on all the chromosomes and each gene occupies a specific place on a chromosome.



A gene may exist in several forms (alleles) and each chromosome contains one allele for each gene.

P1 generation

parental generation



principal of domiance


because of dominance, the effects of the recessive genes are not observed when the dominant gene is present.

principle of segregation

alleles for the same trait separate (segregate) during the formation of gametes

principle of independent assortment

genes for different traits are distributed to the reproductive cells independently.

F1 generation

offspring of the P1 generation

F2 generation

offspring of the F1 generation

trait

specific characteristic or quality

genes

segment of DNA on the chromosome that controls a particular hereditary trait.

alleles

each alternate form of a gene

Dominant alleles

Shown by using a capital letter, the trait is expressed instead of recessive alleles

recessive alleles

shown by using a lowercase letter, the trait is expressed when there are two recessive alleles.

dominant trait

covers the other trait

recessive alleles

trait that is covered by the dominant trait

Homozygous

recessive traits will always be homozygous (rr)

heterozygous

two alleles that are not the same (Tt) or (Rr)

purebred

homozygous (only one form of a trait)

hybrid

heterozygous ( two different alleles for a trait) Bb

chromosomes and their relation to DNA

cell structures that contain the genetic information(DNA) that is passed from one generation to the next. *Found in the nucleus

genes and their relation to DNA

segment of DNA that codes for a particular protein that carry out cellular functions


* controls hereditary traits


#Genes are on the chromosomes

meiosis, products of meiosis, when it occurs

division of the cell nucleus in which the parent cell divides twice forming four genetically different haploid cells (1N) each with half the number of chromosomes


(46--->23)


* occurs in sex cells (gametes)


*cell division in sex cells (egg)(sperm)


*part of sexual reproduction

gamete

sex cells (male - sperm)


(female- egg)

zygote

diploid 2n, fertilized egg (divides many times forming a ball of cells called an embryo)


*embryos are early stages of development of organisms

fertilization, two types

1. Internal fertilizations - occurs inside the female body of mammals, birds, and reptiles


2. External fertilization - occurs outside the female body, occurs in fish and amphibians

Differences between mitosis and meiosis, which one is for genetics

meiosis - two phases, 2 nuclear divisons, produces 4 genetically different haploid cells, part of sexual reproduction, half the chromosome number, used in genetics


Mitosis- part of asexual reproduction, produces two genetically identical diploid cells, 1 nuclear divison, same chromosome number

phenotype

external appearance of an organism , color size, etc, black short curly

Genotype

the genetic makeup of an organism, the letters that represent traits (AaBb) or (Bb)

Monohybrid

cross between individuals that involve one pair of contrasting traits

Dihybrid Cross

cross involving two pairs of contrasting traits

Two factor cross

Blood types: ABRh+RH- X AARH-RH- = 16 boxes

punnet squares, know how to use and what it shows

diagram to predict genetic crosses

incomplete dominance

the active allele does not compensate for the inactive allele (Crossing Red and white = pink) (RR x WW = RW, RW = pink) or Redish White

codominance

both alleles of a gene are expressed, both are dominant (BB X WW = BW) Black crossed with white is black and white.

polygenic traits

traits controlled by two or more genes


*it means having many genes


*genes interact for different outcomes


ex: skin color, weight, body size

Multiple alleles

more than two alleles for a gene exist in a population, each individual still only carries two alleles.


ex: for blood types, IA IB iO

test cross

procedure in which an individual of an unknown genotype is crossed with a homologous recessive individual.

crossingover

occurs when the chromosomes that make up the tetrad exchange portions of their chromatids, resulting in an exchange of genes

Antigen

a substance that causes the body to produce an antibody

antibody

a separate protein that binds to an antigen on the surface of a pathogen (or foreign body) and helps to destroy it

Four blood types

A Blood, B Blood, AB Blood, O Blood, then all 4 can be positive or negative (RH+RH- or RH-RH-)

Universal blood donor

O negative is the universal donor, iOiORH-RH-

blood type genotypes

Heterozygous IA IB RH+ RH- = AB Hetero pos


Homozygous IA IA RH+ RH+ = Homo A pos


You get the idea... Type a and b can be homo or hetero, they will say heterozygous type A and heterozygous positive = IA iO RH= RH-


Linkage Groups

genes on chromosomes linked together and inherited together


*does not undergo independent assortment


* the crhomosomes assort independently, not individual genes


* crossing over can separate genes

gene maps

diagram that shows relative location of each gene on a chromosome

autosomes

body chromosomes, 22 pairs,

sex linked genes

genes for a certain trait that are located on the sex chromosome (X)


ex: color blindness/ Hemophilia

Sex Influenced genes

caused by a gene whose expression differs in males and females



Like baldness, males even with heterozygous will express the trait, females only if both recessive


Male = Bb or bb = bald


Female Bb= not bald


Female bb= bald

carrier

Females are carriers when they dont express it but carry it in their genes, ex: for baldness Bb, for colorblindness = XHXh

inversion

reverse the directions of parts of chromosomes

translocations

occur when part of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to another

duplications

produce extra copies of parts of a chromosome

nondisjunction

pedigree

a chart that shows the relationships within a family


Circle = female


Square = male

controlled breeding

manipulation of heredity, characteristics of offspring by selecting parents with specific phenotypic traits.

mass selection (selective breeding)

process of choosing a few individuals as parents from a large group of individuals (select only cows that produce the most milk to breed with a certain bull)

Inbreeding (line breeding)

crossing closely related individuals with similar characteristics (phenotype) so that the offspring will have similar phenotypes and genotypes. (breeding certain types of dogs to produce favorable characteristics, father to daughter )

the male or heterozygous parent, either XY or ZW.

Identical twins vs fraternal twins

identical twins develop from a single egg and sperm so they have the same genetic makeup, while fraternal twins develop from different eggs and sperm and are no more alike than other brothers and sisters.

3 differences between plant an animal cells

1) plants have cell walls
2) plants can make their own food (they have chloroplasts).
3) plant cells have vacuoles so that they can store a lot more water.



1. animals have centrioles, only a cell membrane, small vacuole.
