28
Codominance
Both expressed fully
29
Incomplete dominance
Both expressed partially
30
Traits are a combination of
Genes and environment
31
Pleiotrophy
More than one phenotypic effect from just one gene - because of metabolic pathways
32
PKU phenotype
Severe mental retardation ; low thyroxine ; low irritability ; blonde hair blue eyes and white skin
33
Albinism is
No melanin in skin (caused by an autosomal recessive allele)
34
Tyrosinase is active below 35 degrees Celsius and inactive above that which causes
The Siamese cat coloring
35
Barr bodies
An inactivated X chromosome (never gets read) *think calico cats*
36
All new genes come from
Duplications of genes
37
Transcribe a gene means to
Turn on a gene
38
What percentage of DNA are genes (codes for proteins)
3%
39
Different types of chromosomes are different from each other by
Having different genes
40
Homologous chromosomes
Have the same genes at the same loci but may have different alleles
41
The g1 checkpoint is the
Decision to divide
42
The g2 checkpoint checks for
Chromosomal damage and proper replication of DNA
43
Metaphase checkpoint checks to see that
All the chromosomes are along the equator
44
Interphase is during
G1 S and G2
45
Crossing over can occur in
Prophase 1 and metaphase 1 ( only while in tetrads )
46
Centromere near the middle
Meta centric
47
Centromere between the middle and end
Sub meta centric
48
Centromere near the end
Acrocentric
49
Centromere at end
Telocentric
50
Genome
All of the DNA (coding and non-coding) in an individual's cells
