Mendel's Principles
Law of Segregation |
-states that alleles seperate from each other during meiosis
|
|
Mendel's Principles
Law of independent assortment |
-states that alleles of a pair segregate independently of other allele pairs during gamete formation
|

|
|
Alleles
|
-alternative forms of gene
-dominant&recessive |
|
Locus
|
-physical location of gene on chromosome
|
|
Dominant Allele
|
-determines the organisms appearence
|
|
Recessive Allele
|
-no noticable affect on the appearence
|
|
Pedigree
|
-family tree representing occurrence of heritable traits in parents and offspring across a number of generations.
|
|
Heteroqygous vs. homozygous
|
-heterozygous has 2 different alleles for a gene
-homozygous has 2 identical alleles for a gene |
|
Genotype vs. phenotype
|
-genotype is its genetic makeup
-phenotype is the manifestion of the gene based on organisms expressed or physical, traits |
|
Complete Dominance
|
-dominant allele had same phenotypic effect wheter present in one or two copies
-a pattern of inheritance |
|
Incomplete Dominance
|
-hybrids have in between phenotype of 2 parental varities
-red+white=pink -a pattern of inheritance |
|
Plietrophy
|
-single gene affecting multiple traits
|
|
Polygenic Inheritance
|
-multiple gene interacting
|
|
Sex linked
|
-gene located on sex chromosome
|
|
Tumor Supressor Genes
|
-protein that stops tumor formation by supressing cell division
|
|
Cancer Teatments
|
-kemotherapy
-radation |
|
Tumor/Cancer
|
-out of control cell division
|
|
Chloroplasts
|
-in mesophyll cell
-contain outer membrane, inner membrane, channel of interconneting thylakoids, thlakoid, granum(stack of thylakoids) |
|
Fermentation
|
-lactate (humans=lactic acid,bacteria,cheese)
-alcohol (yeast=beer & wine) -both carbon manoxide & cyanide kill by disrupting cellular respiration |
|
mRNA
|
-mesenger
-encodes information from dna an conveys it to ribosomes, where the information is translated into amino acid sequences |
|
tRNA
|
-transfer
-functions as interperter in translation. -has specific anticodon that picks up specific amino acid and conveys the amino acidto appropriate codon mRNA |
|
rRNA
|
-ribosomal
-together with proteins make up ribosomes -most abundant type of rna |
|
Protooncogenes
|
-creates functional protein
-normal gene that can be convertedto cancer-causing gene |
|
Oncogenes
|
-mutatted
-cancer causing gene usually contributes to malignancy by anormally enhancing the amount of acitivity of a growth factor mady by cells |
