65 Terms
1
Hybridization
blending different raits to produce new offsring like apple tree.
New cards
2
Individual triats
makes you different from others eg; eye, colour, hait colour, taco tongue.
New cards
3
Complementary interaction
2 gene pairs produce a trait that neigher could produce by themselves.
New cards
4
Pollen
is transferred from 1 plant to another; offspring may look different from parent.
New cards
5
Epistasis
interaction between 2 genes that modify the phenotypic expression of the other.
New cards
6
Heredity
the passing of traits from parents to offspring.
New cards
7
probability
Help determine the ________ of an offspring having a certian genotype or phenotype.
New cards
8
Carrier
hybrid, contian usually a disease that is recessive for you ex; fruit fly eye colour.
New cards
9
Incomlete Dominance
hybrid phenotype is a mix of the pure breeding phenotypes.
New cards
10
environmental effects
Traits can be altered /changed due to ________ like himilayan hair colour.
New cards
11
Phenotype
the physical presentation /expression of a gene.
New cards
12
Codominance
both alleles are expressed in an individual.
New cards
13
Selective breeding
crossing desired traits to produce an offspring with certain characteristics.
New cards
14
Alleles
are different forms of a gene that have different effects on a trait eg; T an t are both alleles fot height will not affect colour.
New cards
15
Multiple Alleles
more than 2 alleles exist for a trait.
New cards
16
True Breeding Strain
Breed together and ALWAYS get the same thing you started with.
New cards
17
female part of plants
Stamen (male reproductive organ in plants) produces pollen→ transferred to the pistil (________) where egg is produced→ fertilization occurs, producing the seed.
New cards
18
Lethal alleles
gene /allele that leads to the death of an individual, can be dominant or recessive like huntingtons disease (dom)
New cards
19
Pleiotropic genes
1 gene that appects many characteristics like marfan syndrome.
New cards
20
Mutation
change in the genetic code.
New cards
21
Chromosomal mutation →
________ caused by nondisjunction, crossing over, or less of some /all of a chromosome.
New cards
22
Genetics
the study of inheritance (genes, DNA, chromosomes)
New cards
23
Genes
units that code fro traits
New cards
24
Heredity
the passing of traits from parents to offspring
New cards
25
Allele
"option" for a gene
New cards
26
species traits
all members of the species have certian genes eg; the ability to walk requiresthe correct traits
New cards
27
individual triats
makes you different from others eg; eye, colour, hait colour, taco tongue
New cards
28
Homozygote
GG/gg
New cards
29
Heterozygote
Gg
New cards
30
Genotype
the actual genes in an organism eg; TT, Tt, tt
New cards
31
Phenotype
the physical presentation/expression of a gene
New cards
32
-single trait gene crosses
1 pair of contrasting traits
New cards
33
Genotypes
all Rr (ratio) or 100% Rr
New cards
34
Phenotypes
all Round or 100% round
New cards
35
F1 cross
Heterozygous round (Rr) x Hybrid (Rr)
New cards
36
*if ratio is 1
1 we know the individual is heterozygous/hybrid
New cards
37
Incomlete Dominance
hybrid phenotype is a mix (shows as inbetween) of the pure breeding phenotypes
New cards
38
True Breeding Strain
Breed together and ALWAYS get the same thing you started with
New cards
