15.1 Flashcards
Name 3 disorder that are caused by the recessive allele on the x chromosome in humans?
Color blindness, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and Hemophilia
Barr Body
Inactive X condensed
If a female is heterozygous for a particular gene locates on the X chromosome, she will be ___ for that character
Mosaic
___ genes tend to be inherited together because they are located near each other on the same chromosome
Linked
Morgan found that body color and wing size are usually inherited together in _____ _____?
Specific combinations or parental phenotypes
Genes do not sort ____ and reasoned that they were on the same chromosome
Independently
Genetic recombination
Offspring produced that have different combination of traits than parents
Parental types
Offspring with a phenotype matching one of the parental phenotypes
Recombinant types/recombinants
Offspring with non parental phenotypes (new combinations of traits)
Cross over
Breaks down process when physical connection btw genes on same chromosome (homologous chromosomes)
Recombinant chromosomes
Bring alleles together in new combinations in gametes
Random fertilization
Increases even further in the number of variant combinations that can be produced
Natural selection
Abundance of genetic variation is the raw material
Genetic map
An ordered list of the genetic loci along a particular chromosome
Father apart genes are…
The more likely to crossover
