Cards

Term
Dominant
Definition
Trait that appears in the F1
Term
Recessive
Definition
The trait that dissapears in the F1
Term
True Breeding
Definition
A line that will ALWAYS produce the sme result.
Term
Genes
Definition
Units of inheritance
Term
Alleles
Definition
alternative combinations of a single gene
Term
Monohybrids
Definition
individual with 2 diff alleles for a single trait
Term
Phenotype
Definition
Phyiscal Appearence of trait
Term
Genotype
Definition
genetic make up 
Term
Test Cross
Definition
Cross with a homozygous recessive
Term
Product Rule
Definition
multiply probabilities when two INDEPENDENT events occuring together 'and'
Term
Sum Rule
Definition
add probability of either of two mutually exclusive events occuring 'or'
Term
Dihybrid Cross
Definition
Heterozygous for two genes at the same time
Term
Law of Segregation
Definition
Two alleles for each trait seperate during gamete formation and then unite at random, one from each parent at fertilization. 
Term
Law of Independent Assortment
Definition
During gamete formation, different pairs of alleles segregate independently of eachother
Term
Chromosomes
Definition
cellular structures that transmit genetic information
Term
Mitosis
Definition
Produces 2 daughter cells both (2n)
Term
Meiosis
Definition
Produces 4 daughter cells each (1n)
Term
Diploid vs Haploid
Definition

(2n) vs (1n)

refers to the number of copies of the chromosomes a gamete contains

Term
Homologous Chromosome
Definition
contains same set of genes but can have different alleles. 
Term
Banding Pattern
Definition
appear after stain and help identifiy homologous chromosomes
Term
Karyotype
Definition
micorograph of stained chromosomes arranged in their homologous pairs
Term
Autosomes vs Sex Chromosomes
Definition

all chromosomes except x & y (1-22)

unpaired x & y

Term
Fruit Fly Gender Determination
Definition

ratio of X chromosmes to autosome 

x-male

xx-female

xxx-dead

no x -dead

Term
Synaptonemal complex
Definition
Structure that helps allign homologous chromosomes during prophase of meiosis I
Term
Crossing Over
Definition
During Meiosis. Breaking of one maternal and one paternal chromosome resulting in the exchange of corresponding section of DNA rejoining of the chromosome. 
Term
Chromosome theory of inheritance
Definition
chromosomes carry mendel's units of heredity and thus expain mendel's law.
Term
Sex Linked Traits
Definition

helped prove chrmosome theory of inheritance.

 

Term
nondisjunction
Definition
failures in chromosome segregation during meiosis. responsible for defects such as trisomy
Term
X-linked Recissive
Definition
father (I-1) is unaffected and only sons show the trait in generation II
Term
x-linked dominant 
Definition
transmission from affected father to all of his daughter
Term
autosomal recessive
Definition
 two unaffected individuals have an infected child
