In humans four blood types are possible: |
A,b,ab, o |
|
That’s are.... alleles that determine blood type |
Three |
|
The three blood type alleles are |
Ia, Ib, and i |
|
Alleles Ia and Ib are |
Codominant |
|
And the i is |
Recessive |
|
Many genes have two or more alleles and are said to have |
Multiple alleles |
|
In polygenic inheritance, the determination of a given characteristic is the result of: |
The interaction of many genes |
|
Traits such as ...... are not determined by one pair of alleles |
Size, height, shape, weight, color, metabolic, rate, and behavior |
|
Mendels principles form the basis of |
Modern genetics |
|
The inheritance of traits is determined by individual units known as |
Genes |
|
Genes are passed from parent to |
Offspring |
|
Each gene has two or more forms called |
Alleles |
|
Each parent has ..... alleles for a particular trait that they inherited from their parents |
Two |
|
The alleles for one trait segregate....... of the alleles for another trait |
Independently |
|
Gene expression is always the result of the interaction of: |
Genetic potential with the environment |
|
In multicellular organisms, cells go through |
Differentiation |
|
Stem cells are important because they cansingle celled organisms reproduce by |
Differentiate into a variety of specialized cell types |
|
Single celled organisms reproduce by |
Binary fission |
|
A piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein |
Gene |
|
Any alternative forms of a gene that may occur at a specific locus |
Allele |
|
Two of the same alleles at a specific locus |
Homozygous |
|
Two different alleles at a specific locus |
Heterozygous |
|
Refers to the genetic makeup of a specific set of genes |
Genotype |
|
The physical characteristics, or traits, of an individual |
Phenotype |
|
An allele that is expressed even two different alleles are present |
Dominant |
