Definition
-two alleles for the gene of interesre passed individually to the next generation through the egg and sperm
-(Ss or Yy alleles segregate into S or s or Y or y) |
|
|
Term
| the Law of Independent Assortment |
|
Definition
| The gametes formed by alleles is completely by chance; |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
the proximaty of two genes on one chromosome;
-crossing over = infrequent, then genes must be close
-If crossing over is frequent, genes must be far apart.
-If gametes all have equal frequency, then genes are on different chromosomes. |

Term
|
Definition
'small differences' (seed yield, sugar, etc.);
influenced more by environment |
|
|
Term
| Equation summarizing trait change |
|
Definition
| Phenotype=Genotype + environment |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| dividing the number of plants with X trait by the total number of plants in the population |
|
|
Term
| Frequency graph if X is a quantitative trait? |
|
Definition
More dispersial; not one main peak
-due to influence of environment; it is larger on quantitative traits |
|
|
Term
| Frequency graph if X is qualitative trait? |
|
Definition
| One large peak; most plants will inherit one trait; little influence by enviornment |
|

Term
|
Definition
you can predict the offspring's performance based on the performance of the parent;
Genes are passed from parent to offspring (high flower yield in parent=high flower yield in child) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
there is no line of good fit;
performance of parent has nothing to do w/ child's |
