Chapter 14 - Non-Mendelian Genetics

Genetic recombination

Genetic recombination

________ between connected genes may occur during prophase I of meiosis.

Hemophilia

________ and color blindness are two examples of sex- linked recessive traits in humans.

gamete production

During ________, the eggs produced by animals and the ovules produced by plants are significantly bigger than the sperm (in animals) or pollen (in plants) produced.

plants

In ________, ovules contribute more chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) than pollen.

Humans

________ have sex- linked dominant features, although they are extremely rare.

X chromosome

Because all females inherit a(n) ________ from their father, if a male possesses a sex- linked dominant characteristic, all of his daughters will inherit the trait.

color

Height and eye ________ are two features that are created by numerous genes.

Males

________ and females are equally likely to inherit autosomal genes.

Mitochondria

________ and chloroplasts each have their own DNA that is distinct from nuclear DNA.

lengthy stretch

Because linked genes exist on the same chromosome (a ________ of DNA), they are more likely to be inherited together than unlinked genes (which are on separate chromosomes)

Genes

________ on mitochondrial or chloroplast DNA do not exhibit the same inheritance patterns as ________ on nuclear DNA.

Sex chromosomes

________ play a role in determining sex, and genes on ________ inherit differently than those on autosomes.
