10/11-13 Flashcards
Biochemical Pathways has lots of intermediates which allows for lots of
flexibility and precision, diet flexibility
many genes have lots diff alleles associated with them. this is called having
multiple alleles
having multiple alleles increases __ __
genetic variation
increasing genetic variation affects __ __
phenotypic variation
the increased genetic and phenotypic variation allows for __ __
natural selection
Cline: gradual change in genetic variation due to
environmental change
Enzyme variation:
Variation due to
evolution
can altitude level affect how the carries for the sickle cell trait are affected
yes
altitude level affecting carriers for sickle cell is an example for an __ effect
environmental
“G6V”: switch from
Glutamic acid at position 6 to Valine
is dominance relative
yes
Pleiotropy:
1 change in a gene causes multi effects in the phenotype of the organism
under certain conditions, can dominance change
yes
is mendelian dominance relative
yes
Locus:
the location (address) of a gene on a chromosome
When the environment background/ diff _ _ _ changes, the __ __ also changes.
level of analysis, dominance reltationship
sort the following gene pieces from longest to shortest:
base pairs, coding sequence (CDS), mRNA
base pairs, mRNA, CDS
does environmental effects mean the same thing as epigenetics
no
genes code for
proteins
proteins affect ___ pathways
biochemical
do genes interact with other genes
no
what causes people to say that genes interact with other genes?
the products of genes interact with and effect biochemical pathways
