Cards

Term
Morgan:
Definition
Sex linked traits
Linked genes
Fruit flies
Mutant and wildtype
Term
Sex linked traits:
Definition
XX:Female XY: male
Term
Linked genes:
Definition
genes located on the same chromosome and do not assort independently
Term
Recombinant ratio: less than 50%
EX 1-49%
Definition
Genes are on the same chromosome
Term
Recombinant ratio: 50 or greater
Definition
Check intermediate genes to see if it is sex linked or linked genes
Term
What increases the likelihood of genes to cross over or recombinate
Definition
a farther distance between the two genes
Term
Independent assortment will not occur when?
Definition
Genes are located on the same chromosome
Term
Wild type:
Definition
Most common phenotype
+
Term
Mutant
Definition
Alternative to wild type
Term
Why did Morgan choose fruit flies?
Definition
A lot of offspring
Quick reproduction time
Four chromosome pairs
3 autosomal and 1 sexlinked
Term
Duplication:
Definition
A gene is duplicated
repeated gene segment
lost fragment joins homologous chromosome
Term
Inversion:
Definition
A lost gene reattaches backwards
gene removed and replaced incorrectly
Term
Translocation:
Definition
Swap genes on 2 different chromosomes
lost fragment joins non homologous chromosome
Term
Deletion:
Definition
a gene is deleted. Delete a gene
Term
Barr Body:
Definition
unactivated X in females
randomly unactivated
XXX 2 out of 3 are inactive
which one will be inactive is random
Term
Aneuploidy:
Two types:
Definition
If a nondisjunction gamete unites with a normal gamete you get the wrong number of chromosomes (abnormal)
Two types: Monosomic 2n-1
Trisomic 2n+1
Term
Examples of Aneuploidy:
Definition
Turner syndrom Monosomic
Down-syndrom Trisomic
Term
Turner syndrom
Definition
Affects only famales
Genotype XO
45 chromosomes
cant bare children
one X
Monosomy 2n-1
Term
Down-syndrom
Definition
47 chromosomes
3 #21
Trisomy 2n+1
Term
Nondisjunction:
Definition
Wrong number of chromosomes 2n-1 2n+1
Can result in down-syndrom
caused by:
homologous pairs don't separate during Meiosis I
sister chromatid don't separate during Meiosis II
Result: 1 gamete gets 2 of the same kind of chromosome other gamete gets none
Term
Polyploidy:
Definition
More than 2 complete sets of chromosomes
2 or more pairs
common in plants rare in animals
4n 16n 32n meiosis never occurs
Term
Females pass:
Definition
sex linked diseases to male offspring and female offspring
Term
Males pass:
Definition
Sex linked diseases to female offspring
pass Y chromosomes to Male offspring
Term
Females are __________ for recessive sex linked diseases. What is their Genotype?
Definition
Carriers
Heterozygous XBXb
Disease is not expressed
Term
Dominant sex linked diseases can or can't be carried?
Definition
Cant be carried.
Term
Sex linked carriers:
Definition
Females
Heterozygous XBXb
Term
Autosomal carriers:
Definition
Male and Female can be carriers
heterozygotes Bb
Term
Homozygous:
Definition
two of the same alleles can be Dominant BB or Recessive bb
Term
Heterozygous:
Definition
Two different alleles Bb
Term
Phenotype:
Definition
What is seen
Physical characteristics
Term
Genotype:
Definition
Genetic make up
Can't be seen physically
Term
Mendel Theories:
Definition
2 possible alleles 1 dominant one recessive
Law of Segregation
Independent Assortment
went to F2 generation
Term
Law of segregation:
Definition
chromosomes seperate
each allele pair segregates
Term
Independent assortment:
Definition
Meiosis chromosome pairs line up independently or the others (randomly)
Term
None mendelian Inheritance:
Definition
Complete Opposite of Mendel's theories
includes: Incomplete dominance
Multiple alleles
codominance
epistasis
polygenic inheritance
pleotrophy
Term
incomplete dominance:
Definition
one allele is not completely dominant over the other
EX Red flower X White flower
BB X bb
Gives you a pink flower Bb=pink mixed not blended (intermediate)
Term
Multiple alleles:
Definition
More than 2 alleles
EX Blood type
A dominant
B dominant
O recessive
Term
Co dominance
Definition
Two dominant alleles are expressed equally
EX Red and Blue scales in fish some scales are red some are blue
EX AB blood type both show equally
Term
Epistasis:
Definition
one gene at one locus alters the phenotypic expression of another gene at another
EX fur color in Labradors
2 genes for fur color
1 is present or absent
presence or absence of pigment
(ee)=no pigment =yellow lab
if it does not have ee and has pigment it is either chocolate (bb) or black (BB Bb)
Term
polygenic inheritance:
Definition
multiple genes influence one phenotypic characteristic
not either/or
EX skin color
3 genes all incompletely dominant
AABBCC=darkest
aabbcc=lightest
AABbcc=aaBBCc intermediate combinations
Term
Pleiotropy:
Definition
ability of gene to have multiple phenotypic effects
Ex Siamese cats
Sick cell disease
Term
genes:
Definition
heritable units
specific location on chromosomes
Term
locus
Definition
specific location of a gene
Term
traits:
Definition
variants of a character
black hair brown hair blonde hair
Term
character:
Definition
heritable features that varies among individuals
Term
character:
Definition
heritable features that varies among individuals
Term
True breeding:
Definition
identical to parents
PPXpp=Pp
Term
When would you use a test cross?
Definition
If an organism's appearance does not reveal its genetic composition PP Pp, determine with test crosses
Cross unknown with recessive
PP X pp Pp X pp
Term
Dihybrid Cross:
Definition
YYRR X yyrr
two traits
9:3:3:1 ratio
Term
