Term
Hybrid
Definition
organism that has different genetic info for a trait from each parent
Term
p(parent generation)generation
Definition
the 1st 2 individuals that mate in a genetic cross
Term
F1 generation
Definition
1st offspring from a cross (breeding) of two varieties in the (p) generation.
Term
Dominant
Definition
genetic trait that mask or dominate a characteristic
Term
recessive
Definition
Genetic trait of an organism that can be masked by the dominant form of a trait
Term
alleles
Definition
different versions of the same traits
Term
Law of Segregation
Definition
Each pair of alleles separate during meiosis
Term
Law of Dominance
Definition
When 2 alleles are different, hybrid, 1 allel controls trait other remains hidden
Term
Law of Independent Assortment
Definition
Gene pairs segregate randomly & independent of each other
Term
Genotype
Definition
actual genetic make-up
Term
phenotype
Definition
form of trait observed
Term
homozygous
Definition
both alleles are alike
Term
heterozygous
Definition
both alleles are different
Term
probabilities
Definition
the likelihood that something will occur
Term
punnet square
Definition
Grio for organizing genetic information that shows probabilities
Term
monohybrid cross
Definition
one trait is tested
Term
dihybrid cross
Definition
2 traits are tested
Term
test cross
Definition
a cross determine the genotype of an organism
Term
intermediate inheritance
Definition
heterozygous individual expresses phenotype different than the homozygous phenotype
Term
incomplete dominance
Definition
heterozygote shows the phenotype that is intermediate b/w 2 homozygous phenotypes
Term
codominance
Definition
a heterozygote both fully expressed
Term
polygenic traits
Definition
traits controlled by 2 or more gene pairs
Term
Sex determination
Definition

xx=female

xy=male

Term
Sex linked inheritance
Definition
X & Y chrom. carry other traits not associated w/ sex of offspring
Term
Linkage groups
Definition
genes found on same chrom form a linkage group
Term
Single trait alleles
Definition
Traits controlled by a single allele for a gene
Term
multiple allele traits
Definition
traits such as blood type, which is controlled by many different alleles
Term
polygenic traits
Definition

traits controlled by multiple alleles

-EX. skin,eye,hair color

Term
Sex influence traits
Definition
traits influence by sex hormones
Term
Amino centesis
Definition
genetic analysis can be done on an unborn child using aminotic fluid
Term
Mutation
Definition

a change in the DNA of an organism

-can involve an entire chromosome, or a single nucleotide

Term
germ cell mutation
Definition

mutation of the gametes

-doesnt affect organisms itself, but can be passed onto offspring

Term
stomatic cell mutation
Definition

mutation of all other the cells in the body

-ex.skin cancer

Term
chromosome mutation
Definition

change in structure of a chromosome or loss of an entire chromosome

-always affects organisms

Term
Deletion
Definition
end of a chromosome breaks off, or 2 simultaneous breaks lead to loss of a segment
Term
Inversion
Definition
segment of a chromosome breaks off & reattaches in reverse orientation
Term
Translocation
Definition
movement of a chromsome segment to another nonhomologous chromosome
Term
duplication
Definition
presence of a chromosome segment more than once in the same chromosome
Term
Nondisjunction
Definition
when chromosomes fail to separate during meiosis, causeing problems such as down syndrome
Term
point mutation
Definition
substitution,addition,or removal of a single nucleotide
Term
Frameshift mutation
Definition
one nucleotide is added or deleted causing entire strand of DNA to shift, making wrong protein
Term
Pedigree
Definition
used to see how traits move through a family
