Gregor Mendel |
- "Father of genetics" - Formulated basic laws of genetics |
|
Alleles |
- Two alternate forms of a gene for each trait in body cells - On the chromosome |
|
Homozygous dominant |
Two dominant alleles, GG |
|
Homozygous recessive |
Two recessive alleles, gg |
|
Heterozygous |
One dominant and one recessive allele, Gg |
|
Genotype |
Refers to individual's genes (GG, gg, or Gg) |
|
Phenotype |
Refers to individual's appearance |
|
Punnett Squares |
- Allow easy determination of the results of a cross between individuals whose genotypes are known |
|
Phenotypic ratio |
The ratio of dominant and recessive offspring based on their phenotype |
|
Monohybrid cross |
Reproduction between two heterozygous individuals Phenotypic Ratio - 3:1 |
|
Law of Segregation |
Each organisms contains two alleles for each trait, and the alleles segregate during the formation of gametes. Each gamete contains one allele. The new organism has 2 alleles, one from each parent. |
|
Dihybrid Cross |
When 2 dihybrid individuals reproduce (AaBb) Phenotypic ratio - 9:3:3:1 |
|
Law of Independent Assortment |
Members of an allelic pair segregate independently of members of another allelic pair. |
|
Autosomes |
Pair of chromosomes that do not actively determine sex |
|
Sex chromosomes |
XX or XY |
|
X-linked genes |
- Alleles on the X chromosome that have nothing to do with gender - Almost none in the Y chromosome |
|
Chi-Square (x2) test |
Statistical test used to determine whether obtained data provide "good fit" approximation to the expected data Formula: x2 = E (d2/e) x^2 = chi-square, E = sum of, d = different between the expected and observed results, e = expected results |
|
P Value (probability) |
If greater than 0.10, generally considered acceptable If lower than 0.10, do not support the hypothesis |
|
Sum of { (Difference) ^2 / expected results} |
Chi-square x^2 Formula |
|
AaBb x aabb |
What type of dihybrid parental genotype cross would result in a phenotypic ratio of 1:1:1:1? |
|
9:3:3:1 |
What is the phenotypic ratio of a heterozygous dihybrid cross? |
|
AABB x AABB aabb x aabb |
Crosses that cannot produce dihybrid heterozygous in both traits |
|
X - linked |
Some alleles on the X chromosome that have nothing to do with gener |
|
Hetero, recessive |
Males with a normal chromosome inheritance are never ________zygous for X-linked alleles, and if they inherit a ____________ X-linked allele it will be expressed. |
|
Mother, if inherited from father, then it would be a female (XX) |
Regardless of any type cross, do white-eyed (recessive) males inherit the allele for white eyes from their father or mother? |
|
Egg Blastoderm Embryo Instar Larva Pupa Metamorphosis |
Life cycle of Drosophila |
