Term
sex cells
Definition
sperm and eggs
Term
phenotype
Definition
expression of a trait
Term
genotype
Definition
combination of alleles
Term
meiosis
Definition
produces cells with half the normal number of chromosomes
Term
alleles
Definition
different versions of the same genes
Term
traits
Definition
information carried by the genes
Term
meiosis
Definition
process that produces sex cells
Term
heredity
Definition
passing of traits from parents to offspring
Term
possible genotypes from white flower pp with purple flower PP
Definition
all Pp
Term
Phenotypes for cross of white flower pp with purple flower PP
Definition
all purple
Term
when four cells are produced from a single cell
Definition
meiosis
Term
when one trait is not completely dominant over another
Definition
incomplete dominance
Term
sex chromosomes that females have
Definition
2 X
Term
sex chromosomes that males have
Definition
one X and one Y
Term
recessive trait
Definition
genetic trait that is expressed only if there is not a dominant allele present
Term
how are sex cells different from body cells
Definition
sex cells have half the number (23)of chromosomes that body cells have (36).
Term
what is a sex-linked disorder?
Definition
caused by a gene on one of the sex chromosomes so that the disorder is expressed in one sex more than the other
Term
what is an example of a sex-linked disorder?
Definition
color-blindness
Term
how does genetic counseling help people
Definition
by testing you and your spouse to see if you are a carrier of a recessive allele. Then you can predict what the chances are of your children having the disorder.
Term
if a child has blond hair, but both parents have brown hair, what do you know about the allele for blond hair?
Definition
the allele for blond hair is recessive
Term
true-breeding
Definition
both alleles are capitals/dominant
Term
what are the offspring when TT self-fertilizes?
Definition
all are TT
Term
what are the offspring when Tt self-fertilizes?
Definition
TT, Tt, and tt
Term
what is the probability of each genotype in a cross of TT and Tt (Draw the punnent square)
Definition
50% TT and 50% Tt
Term
what is the probability of each genotype in a cross of TT and TT? What type of breeding is this called?
Definition
100% TT; true-breeding
Term
What is the probability of each genotype in a cross of Tt and Tt
Definition
25% TT; 50% Tt; and 25%tt
Term
What are the probability of each genotype in a cross of tt and tt? What type of breeding is that called?
Definition
100% tt; true breeding
Term
What is the probability of tt when you cross TT and TT?
Definition
