Compare Segregation and Independent Assortment
|
Segregation-homolgous chromosomes separating alleles into separate gametes.
Independent Assortment-all non-homologous chromosomes have an equally likely chance of matching with other non-homologous chromosomes |
|
|
What are Genotypes and Phenotypes?
|
Genotype-Genetic makeup of an organism
Phenotype-Appearance as a result of the genotype |
|
|
What is Linkage?
|
Autosomal Linkage-When alleles are on the same chromosome, the farther apart, the more likely they will show up on different chromosomes due to independent assortment.
Sex Linkage-Involves the X and Y chromosomes, and recessive traits on the X chromosome show up more often in boys. |
|
|
What is Gene Expression?
|
Whatever the gene is coding for shows up in the phenotype.
|
|
|
Name examples of Gene Technology.
|
Genetic Engineering, Cloning, DNA Fingerprinting
|
|
|
What is a Plasmid?
|
Small ring of extra DNA not in the original sequence.
|
|
|
What is Genetic Engineering and how is it done?
|
Genetic Engineering-Changing the Genetic Makeup
This is done by inserting a DNA a sequence into a plasmid using restriction enzymes. |
|
|
What are the alleles for Blood Type?
|
Type A=IA, IA IA or IA i
Type B=IB, IB IB or IB i Type AB=none, IA IB Type O=i, i i |
