Heredity
The transmission of characteristics from parents to offsprings.
Difference between characteristic and trait.
Characteristic - Category (Ex: Height) - a gene
Trait - Options (tall or short) - the alleles (T or t)
Pollination
When pollen from from male flow is transferred to a female flower.
Anthers
Male flower reproductive system
Self-Pollination
Pollen is transferred from the anther of a flower to the stigma of either the same flower or a flower of the same plant.
Cross-pollination
Flowers of two separate plants
Stigma
Female reproductive part.
Gene
Short segment of DNA that codes for a particle characteristics, that can have different traits
p1 Generation
Parental generation
P1 x P1 : cross pollinated
Height: (tall) (short)
F1
Offspring of the P1 generation, he first filial generation.
all were tall
F1 x F1 : self pollinated
f2
Self pollinated f1, second filial generation.
Ratio: 3:1 Tall:Short
Mendal factors know as?
Alleles
Law of segregation
Pairs of alleles separate- Happens in anaphase 2.
Dominate
Masked, or dominated, the other factor for a specific characteristics
Recessive
Trait that did not appear.
Law of Independent Assortment
Alleles for different characteristics align on their own if found on separate chromosomes. Otherwise, they line up together. Happens during metaphase I.
Genotype
Genotype - The genetic makeup of an organism.
Phenotype
Phenotype - The appearance of an organism
Homozygous
Homozygous - When both alleles of pairs are alike.
Heterozygous
Heterozygous - When the two alleles in the pair are different.
Test-cross
Test-cross - Taking an individual unknown genotypical and cross it with homozygous recessive.
Incomplete
Incomplete - When there is a third phenotype in between the extremes.
Codominance
Codominance - Two dominate alleles, an ‘ to mark the second allele.RR -> RED RR’ -> Both
Probability
Number of times an event is expected to happen
Number of opportunities for an event to happen.
Law of independent assortment only work if the gene
is found far apart.
Crossing over does not create
new genes or delete old ones.
Greater map unit =
great chance of crossing over or separated.
Map Unit is
distance on chromosomes.
Germ cell mutation doesn't affect
the organism but is passed on to offspring.
Somatic cell mutation would affect
organism not offspring.
Mutations are
not always negative.
Positive mutations
increase reproduction success, increases fitness.
Negative mutations
decrease reproduction success, decrease fitness.
Deletion
whole hunch of chromosome is lost.
Inversion
Piece of chromosome comes off flips and goes back in. Reverse order.
Translocation
One side broke off and other side does not.
Nondisjunction
Meiosis messes up either the homologous chromosome doesn't separate or sisters does not separate.
Gene mutation
Segments of DNA messing with the order of nucleotide
Point mutation
Messing with one nucleotide in the stand. Take it out, put in another, substitute it.
Frame shift mutation
Include addition, deletion
Sickle cell anemia
Substitutes adenine for thymine for single DNA codon.

Pedigree
Shows how a trait is inherited over several generations.
Individuals who have one copy of a recessive autosomal allele are called?
Carriers
Diseases or debilitating conditions that have a genetic basis
Genetic dissorders
Controlled by a single allele of a gene. Ex:
Single-Allele traits
Hungtingtons
Short section of DNA that is known o have a close association with a particular gene located nearby.
Genetic Marker
Controlled by three or more alleles of the same gene that code for a single trait. Ex:
Multiple-Allele Traits
Blood type
A trait that is controlled by two or more genes. Ex:
Polygenic trait
Skin color
Examination of a persons genetic makeup.
Genetic Screening
Medical guidance that inform them about problems that could affect their offspring
Genetic counseling.
Physician removes a small amount of amniotic fluid.
Amniocentesis
Physician obtains a sample of the chorionic villi.
Chorionic villi sampling
Genetic disorder in which the body cannot metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine.
Phenylketonuria
Disorders due to nondisjuntion
Klinefelters, Turner's Syndrome, Trisomy 21(Down Syndrome)
what does a single Y chrom lead to
Death
Single trait Disease
Huntington disease
X linked trait diseases
Colorblindness, Hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Sex influenced diseases
Pattern Baldness
