Term
true-breeding traits
Definition
trait is the only one present for many generations
Term
Character
Definition
observable physical feature (ex flower color)
Term
trait
Definition
form of a character (ex white flowers)
Term
heritable trait
Definition
is passed from parent to offspring
Term
Parent Generation (p)
Definition
pollen from one parent was transferred to the stigma of the other parent
Term
F1 generation
Definition
resulting offspring of P generation
Term
F2
Definition
offspring of the F1 cross
Term
F1 generation are
Definition
monohybrids
Term
recessive trait
Definition
the trait that disappears in F1 and reappears in F2 generation
Term
Dominant trait
Definition
appears in the F1 generation
Term
reciprocal crosses
Definition
switch who's pollen is used from what parent , does not matter because yielded same results
Term
particulate theory
Definition
each plant has 2 particles for each character, one from each parent
Term
diploid
Definition
two copies of each heritable particle in an organism
Term
what is another term for "particle"
Definition
genes
Term
genome
Definition
totality of all genes in an organism
Term
alleles
Definition
different froms of a gene
Term
homozygous
Definition
true-breeding individuals with 2 copies of the same allele
Term
Heterozygous
Definition
individuals have two different alleles
Term
Phenotype
Definition
physical appearance of an organism
Term
Genotype
Definition
the genetic makeup
Term
Law of Segregation
Definition
two copies of a gene separate when an individual makes gametes
Term
test crosses
Definition
determines whether an individual is homozygous or heterozygous for a trait by crossing it with the homozygous recessive
Term
locus
Definition
particular site on the chromosome
Term
How many alleles at a locus?
Definition
2
Term
Dihybrid cross
Definition
crossing the F1 generation = identical double heterozygotes
Term
recombinant
Definition
result of new combinations
Term
law of independent assortment
Definition
alleles of different genes assort independently during gamete formation
Term
multiplication rule
Definition
probability of 2 independent event happening together
Term
addition rule
Definition
probability of an event that occur in 2 mutually exclusive ways
Term
Pedigrees
Definition
used to determine wether a rare allele is dominant or recessive
Term
Circle on pedigree
Definition
female
Term
square on pedigree
Definition
male
Term
one line on the pedigree
Definition
mating
Term
double lines on pedigree
Definition
mating between relatives
Term
wild type
Definition
allele present in most of the population
Term
polymorphic
Definition
locus with wild-type allele present less than 99% of the time
Term
incomplete dominance
Definition
some alleles are neither dominant nor recessive, but an intermediate phenotype
Term
Codominance
Definition
two alleles at one locus produce phenotypes that are both present in the heterozygote
Term
Pleiotropic
Definition
a single allele can have multiple phenotypic effects
Term
Epistasis
Definition
phenotypic expression of one gene is influenced by another gene
Term
Inbreeding
Definition
mating among close relatives, can result in offspring of low quality
Term
heterosis
Definition
cross between two different true-breeding homozygotes that result in stronger, larger offspring
Term
Penetrance
Definition
proportion of individuals with a certain genotype that show the phenotype
Term
expressivity
Definition
degree to which genotype is expressed in an individual
Term
T or F Mendels characters were discrete and qualitative
Definition
True
Term
quantitative
Definition
phenotypes vary continuously over a range
-due to both genes and environment
Term
linkage group
Definition
all loci on a chromosome form it and thus do not assort independently
Term
Absolute linkage is rare T or F?
Definition
True
Term
Recombinant frequencies are greater for loci that are (farther or closer) ?
Definition
farther apart
Term
monoecious
Definition
each adult produces both male and female gametes
Term
dioecious
Definition
male and female gametes are produced by different individuals
Term
Sex chromosomes
Definition
determines sex
Term
XX
Definition
female
Term
XY
Definition
male
Term
XO Turners Syndrome
Definition
individual has only one sex chromosome
Term
XXY Klinefelter syndrome
Definition
affects males and results in sterility and overlong limbs
Term
primary sex determinant
Definition
SRY gene on the Y chromosome
Term
DAX1
Definition
produces an anti-testis factor
Term
secondary sex determination
Definition
results in outward characteristics of each sex determined by autosomes and x chromosome
Term
hemizygous
Definition
have only one copy of a gene
Term
X or Y chromosome carry more information?
Definition
X
Term
sex-linked inheritance
Definition
a character is governed by loci on the sex chromosome
Term
x-linked recessive
Definition
-more often in males
-females are carriers
Term
Mitochondria and plastids are inherited from mother of father?
Definition
mother
Term
Conjugation
Definition
how bacteria exchange genes
Term
sex pilus
Definition
a projection that initiates contact between bacterial cells
Term
conjugation tube
Definition
cytoplasmic bridge that forms between cells
Term
plasmids
Definition
small circular extrachromosomal DNA
