Cards

Term
"Blending" Hypothesis
Definition
Idea that parents genetic material blend together
Term
"Particulate" Hypothesis
Definition
Idea that parents pass on discrete heritable units
Term
Father of Genetics
Definition
Mendel
Term
Cross-Pollination
Definition
Fertilization between different plants; involves dusting the plants with pollen from the other plant.
Term
True-Breeding
Definition
Also the reason for pure-breed dogs; plants produce offspring with the same variety of traits
Term
Hybriditation
Definition
To mate 2 contrasting varieties; basically mixed doggies
Term
F1 Generation
Definition
Hybrid offspring of P generation
Term
P Generation
Definition
True breeding parent generation
Term
F2 Generation
Definition
F1 self/cross pollinaton with OTHER F1 hybrid
Term
Gene
Definition
heritable factor
Term
Alleles
Definition
Alternate version of a gene
Term
Law of segregation
Definition
2 alleles for a heritable characteristic separate during the gamete formation and end up in a different gamete
Term
What do traits not reveal?
Definition
Genetic Composition
Term
Genotype
Definition
physical appearance
Term
Phenotype
Definition
Genetic make up
Term
Testcross
Definition
A testcross is used to tell the genotype of an individual witha dominant phenotype...To testcross: breeding the mystery individual with a homozygous recessive individual.
Term
Monohybrid
Definition
Cross following single character
Term
Dihybrid
Definition
Determine if 2 characters are transmitted to offspring as a PACK or as a IINDIVIDUAL
Term
Law of Independent Assortment
Definition
Each allele pair segregate independently in each other pair of alleles during gamete formation
ONLY APPLIES TO:genes on different non-homo chromosome-genes far apart on the same chromosome
Term
Complete Dominance
Definition
Phenotype of homozygous and heterozygous are identical
Term
Incomplete Dominance
Definition
Phenotype of F1 hybrids are between phenotypes of 2 parental varieties
Term
Codominance
Definition
2 dominant alleles affect phenotype in separate distinguishable ways.
Term
Pleiotropy
Definition
Gene with MULTIPLE phenotypic effects
Term
Epistasis
Definition
Gene at 1 locus ALTERS phenotypic expression of a gene on ANOTHER
Term
Polygene Inheritance
Definition
2 or more gene on a single phenotype (skin color)
Term
Quantitative Characters
Definition
Vary in population (skin color)
Term
Subsitution
Definition
Single amino acid in a hemoglobin protein in red blood cells; Causes Sickle-Cell
Term
Achondroplasia
Definition
Dwarfism is a rare DOMINANT allele
Term
Huntington's Disease
Definition
degenerative disease of nervous system
