Term
Genotype
Definition
Genetic makeup of the organism
Term
Spontaneous Generation
Definition
Powerful theory (Aristotle); retarded medicine and biology 2 millenia
Term
Walter Sutton (1902)
Definition
Geneticist proved GENES are located on chromosomes
Term
Homunculus
Definition
Little man in SPERM cell; associated with PREFORMATION theory
Term
Lamarck (18th Century)
Definition
Promoted Theory of Acquired Characteristics (use and disuse of organs)
Term
Charles Darwin (1859)
Definition
Environment = Natural selector of most adapted phenotypes.
Term
Gregor Mendel (1860)
Definition
"Father of Genetics"; performed monohybrid crosses of garden peas
Term
Particulate Inheritance
Definition
Mendel's great contribution; genes inherited as distinct units -unchanged
Term
3:1
Definition
Classic F2 phenotype ratio from a DIHYBRID cross (TtPp x TtPp)
Term
1:1
Definition
Phenotype ratio from the cross: Pp x pp
Term
9:3:3:1
Definition
Classic F2 phenotype ratio from a DIHYBRID cross (TtPp x TtPp)
Term
August Weismann (1896)
Definition
German biologist; disproved Lamarck's theory of Acquired Characteristics
Term
Test Cross
Definition
Pp x pp (cross determine genotype of a DOMINANT phenotype)
Term
Law of Random Assortment
Definition
Occurs at METAPHASE I; homologous chromosomes align OPPOSITE
Term
Pangenes
Definition
Chemicals from each organ blend together at FERTILIZATION
Term
Phenotype
Definition
Physical/physiological VISIBLE result from a given GENOTYPE
Term
Dominant Allele
Definition
This allele will be expressed in the PHENOTYPE.
Term
Recessive Allele
Definition
Gene variant that is NOT expressed when associated w/ dominant allele
Term
2^n
Definition
Formula for calculating # of GAMETE types knowing # of HYBRIDS
Term
Continuous Trait
Definition
A trait's phenotype expresses itself in BROAD continuum (eg. Height)
Term
Discontinuous Trait
Definition
Trait is expressed either DOMINANT or RECESSIVE phenotype.
Term
Mendelian Trait
Definition
Trait with TWO alleles operating in Dominant/Recessive relationship.
Term
Law of Segregation
Definition
Based upon Anaphase I of Meiosis; homologous chromosomes separate
Term
Dihybrid Cross
Definition
TtPp x TtPp (no linkage of genes)
Term
Monohybrid Cross
Definition
Tt x Tt (cross of two single hybrids for same trait). Mendel's main one
Term
Cross Fertilization
Definition
SPERM from one plant joins EGG from another plant
Term
Punnett Square (1908)
Definition
Diagram shows all possible outcomes from a genetic cross
Term
Intermediate Inheritance
Definition
Heterozygotes; phenotype intermediate between two homozygote phen.
Term
Heterozygous
Definition
Genotype with DIFFERENT alleles for a given gene (eg. Tt of Pp)
Term
Homozygous
Definition
Genotype with SAME alleles for a given gene (eg. TT or tt)
