11.1 Flashcards
What have two of the same allele?
homozygous
What have two different alleles?
heterozygous
homozygous and heterozygous are examples of this.
genotype
The visible trait that alleles cause.
phenotype
Crossing an individual with a dominant phenotype but unknown genotype with an individual that has the recessive phenotype and genotype is called?
test cross
It takes one allele to cause this phenotype.
dominant
you must only have copies of this allele to have this phenotype.
recessive
If a heterozygous individual has a trait different from homozygous individuals what is the trait?
codominant
Offspring all have yellow seeds
YY x yy
YY x YY
YY x Yy
Offspring have all green seeds
yy x yy
2/4 offspring have yellow seeds : 2/4 offspring have green seeds
Yy x yy
3/4 offspring have yellow seeds : 1/4 offspring have green seeds
Yy x Yy
How did Mendel set up his genetic experiments?
He cross over pea plants.
What were the generations, what did he always start with, what ratios did he consistently see in the F1 and F2?
F1 4/4 heter
F2 1/4 Dom, 2/4 heter 1/4 homo.
