10/4 Flashcards
unbalanced chromosomes are called
aneuploidy
what are unbalanced chromosomes
2n +/- 1
why is Mendel used as the father of genetics
he was able to show interaction of genetic events and how they segregate and separate into gametes
karyotype analysis:
finding the address of a gene through finding the various loci associated with it
3 corners of the genetic triangle
mendelian, polygenic, environment
polygenic: several genes working together to give specific aspect of
phenotype
environment: these genes have a large aspect of environmental
influence
penetrance
% of population that shows a trait associated with allele
expressivity:
the level of expression
expressivity of change
some genes have a level of expression that varies
codominance
when in heterozygous, both alleles are expressed
incomplete dominance
alleles each have 1/2 expression
complete dominance
both alleles could mix to produce pink
