the condition of a gene where only one set of chromosomes from a chromosomal pair is observed.
(only in males where it is on sex linked x gene)
(only in males where it is on sex linked x gene)
2
New cards
DNA methylation
Process by which a methyl group is added to DNA molecules, often at cytosine residues, resulting in changes in gene expression without altering the DNA sequence.
3
New cards
epigenetics
The study of heritable changes in gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. It involves modifications to DNA or associated proteins that can be passed on to future generations.
4
New cards
histones
a protein that provides structural support for a chromosome. Each chromosome contains a long molecule of DNA, which must fit into the cell nucleus. To do that, the DNA wraps around complexes of histone proteins, giving the chromosome a more compact shape.
5
New cards
heterozygous
having different alleles for a particular trait.
6
New cards
homozygous
having the same alleles for a particular trait.
7
New cards
genotype
the genetic makeup of an organism
8
New cards
phenotype
an individual's observable traits
