Allele (alleles) vs. gene/trait
|
alleles are alternative versions of a gene. traits are variants for a character
|
ex: Aa are alleles. Traits include white and purple flowers
|
|
|
Trait
|
each variant for a character
|
purple or white flowers for flower color of peas
|
|
|
homozygous/ true-breeding
|
when true-breeding plants self-pollinate, all their offspring are the same variety
|
plant with purple flowers has children that are all purple
|
|
|
hybridization
|
mating/crossing of 2 true-breeding parents
|
short and tall bugs mate
|
|
|
P generation (parental generation)
|
different true breeding parents in hybridization
|
purple and white flowers
|
|
|
F1 generation (1st filial generation)
|
hybrid offspring of P generation
|
all purple flowers
|
|
|
F2 generation (2nd filial generation)
|
products of F1 hybrids self-pollinating
|
3/4 were white flowers and 1/4 were purple
|
|
|
dominant allele
|
determines the organism's appearance
|
purple flower is dominant
|
|
|
recessive allele
|
no noticeable affect on the organism's appearance
|
white flower is recessive
|
|
|
Punnett square
|
diagrammatic device for predicting allele composition of offspring from parents
|
2 x 2 box
|
|
|
Heterozygous
|
organism with 2 different alleles for a gene
|
Bb
|
|
|
Phenotype v. genotype
|
phenotype is the physical trait of an organism. genotype is its genetic makeup
|
genotypes PP and Pp have the same phenotype- purple
|
|
|
testcross
|
breeding of a recessive homozygote w/ an organism of dominant phenotype but unknown genotype. used to find genotype of dominant
|
used by mendel on peas
|
|
|
monohybrids v dihybrids
|
monohybrids are heterozygous of 1 character. dihybrids are heterozygous of 2 characters
|
monohybrids- Aa
dihybrids- AaBb |
|
|
pedigree
|
family tree describing interrelationships of parents and children across the generations
|
Kate Middleton has a humble pedigree
|
|
|
polygenic inheritance
|
combined effect of at least 2 genes on a single phenotypic character
|
AABBCC is a very dark person
|
|
|
wild type
|
normal/dominant phenotype for a character
|
brown fur
|
|
|
linked genes
|
genes located on the same chromosome and are inherited together in genetic crosses
|
thousands of genes in a single chromosome
|
|
|
parental type
|
when phenotype of offspring matches their parents
|
purple children to purple parents
|
|
|
recombinant types
|
when phenotype of offspring is different from their parents
|
white children to purple parents
|
|
|
sex-linked gene
|
gene located on a sex chromosome
|
why only male fruit flies can have white eyes
|
|
|
barr body
|
when inactive X in each cell of a female condenses into a compact object called a barr body and only activated in ovaries
|
heterozygous female will express 1 allele in half her cells and the other allele in the other half
|
