Cards

Term
The Testcross
Definition
allows detection of genotype of the dominant phenotype
Term
Homozygous
Definition
pp or PP
Term
Heterozygous
Definition
Pp
Term
Recessive Disorder
Definition

aa- recessive disorder

Ex.

Phenylketonuria

Cystic fibrosis

Sickle Cell Anemia

Term
Dihybrid Cross
Definition
Cross between individuals heterozygous for two characters. Used to test whether characters transmitted independently.
Term
Law of independent assortment
Definition
alleles assort independently during gamete formation
Term
Incomplete dominance
Definition
neither allele is dominant over the other rather codominant, so when a red and white flower are crossed a pink flower formed. but red and white flowers are also available.
Term
Codominance
Definition

Blood is an example,

IaIa or Iai = A type

IbIb or Ibi= B type

IaIb= AB type

ii= O type

 

Term
Polygenic Inheritance
Definition

Additive effects of two or more genes on a phenotypic character

1.) Skin Colour

2.) Height

Incompletely dominance

Term
Sex-linkage
Definition

Humans: X linked

males: XY

female: XX

X linked disorders males only need one recessive allele to have it

 H: normal clotting

h: hemophilia

XHY: Normal clotting

XhY= Hemophilia

XHXh: normal clotting, female

 

 

Term
Multifactoral Disorders
Definition

Genetic plus environmental component

Heart Disease, diabetes, cancers among others

Genetic predisposition

Term
Pleiotropy
Definition

single gene with multiple phenotypic effects

ex. the allele causing sickle cell disease in humans

Term
Effect of Environment on Phenotype
Definition

#Functional Sweat Glands

#Red Blood Cells

Skin Colors

Height

Flower color
