Cards

Term
Hybrid Cross
Definition
a cross between two individuals heterozygous for one gene
Term
Phenotype
Definition
the precise measure of a trait that describes an individual
Term
Autosome
Definition
a chromosome that does not determine gender
Term
Overdominance
Definition
when the phenotype for the heterozygote is greater than either homozygous parent
Term
Complementation
Definition
a process that test how many genes are polymorphic within a collection of mutants
Term
Test-cross
Definition
any cross between an unknown genotype and a homozygous RECESSIVE
Term
Transduction
Definition
the process in DNA transfer in prokaryotes that involves a phage
Term
Conjugation
Definition
Mating between prokaryotes that involves an F plasmid
Term
Transformation
Definition
The process of DNA transfer in prokaryotes that involves naked DNA and some form of membrane shock/ electroshock therapy
Term
Linkage
Definition
a relationship between two genes that is broken only by crossing over
Term
Trait
Definition
something measurable that can be used to describe an individual
Term
Epistasis
Definition
the ability of alleles at one gene to affect the phenotype resulting from alleles at another gene
Term
Mitosis
Definition
a cellular process allowing the maintenance of ploidy from one cell to the next
Term
Dominance
Definition
a description of the relationship between alleles of a single gene
Term
Meiosis
Definition
a cellular process allowing the creation of variation for the next generation
Term
Allele
Definition
variant(s) of a gene/ locus
Term
Sex-Linked
Definition
the physical association of one gene on the chromosome that determines gender that cannot be broken by linkage
Term
Semidominance
Definition
A relationship between alleles of a single gene that appears like the blending model of inheritance
A relationship between alleles seen with a quantitative phenotype
Term
Codominance
Definition
A relationship between alleles of a single gene whereby you need multiple traits to see this
Term
CAN alter the link between a specific genotype and a specific phenotype when 30+ control a trait
Definition
epistasis
environment
dominance
random selection/ stochastic noise
Term
Solely related to how variation at a single gene can alter a trait
Definition
Dominance
Term
CAN control a trait if there is a gene involved but the gene or genome has no polymorphism
Definition
Environment
Random/ Stochastic Noise
Term
Solely related to how genetic variation interacts between genes to alter a trait
Definition
Epistasis
Term
CAN affect a trait
Definition
Epistasis
Env
Dominance
Random/ Stochastic Noise
Term
CAN control a trait if there is a gene involved but the gene has no polymorphism, while the genome has polymorphisms
Definition
Epistasis
Env
Random/ Stochastic Nosie
Term
NEVER see any double crossover individuals
Definition
Complete Inhibition, any single cross over blocked a second one between other genes
Term
CAN see twice as many double cross over individuals as expected
Definition
Complete stimulation, any single cross over caused a second one between the other genes
Term
Minimal Media + glucose
Definition
Carbon source mutants
Term
Minimal media + Ampicilin
Definition
Antibiotic resistant mutants
Term
Minimal Media + Tryptophan
Definition
Biosynthetic mutants
Term
Minimal Media + Histidine*
Definition
Temperature Sensitive mutants
Term
Genetic/Mutant selection > mutant screen
Definition
kill WT cells to obtain mutants
Term
Mutant screen > mutant selection
Definition
can find mutants defective in essential biological processes
Term
Liquid media
Definition
*grow lrg pop in one container
*grow bacteria in 3D*
Term
Solid media
Definition
*separate lines from e. other
*grow bacteria and screen for phenotypes*
