Q

Define “complete dominance” for a genetic trait.

A

-one allele is expressed and the other is not
e.g. In Mendel’s pea plant crosses, the F1
heterozygous offspring always resembled the
homozygous dominant parent. For each trait, one
dominant allele was expressed.

Q

Codominance Example

A

-In cattle, a cross between a true-breeding red
bull and a white cow will produce roan calves.
-Roan cattle have patches of white hair intermingled with patches of coloured hair
-This mixed phenotype results from the expression of the white-hair allele in some patches, and the coloured-hair allele in other patches

Q

Codominance

A

In the case of codominance, both alleles are completely expressed at the same time, and so a heterozygous individual has a mixture of the two parental phenotypes.

Q

Give an example of a human trait
influenced by the environment

A

blood-cell counts and cholesterol levels, are sensitive to environmental influences

Blood count depends on factors such as the presence of an infection, a person’s level of physical activity,
and the altitude at which the person lives.

Diet and lifestyle, as well as genetics, influence cholesterol levels.

Q

Give an example of a human PHYSICAL trait
influenced by the environment

A

weight, height, size, and colour.

If a child does not get proper nutrition, their height may be stunted as an adult.
Without the right vitamins and nutrients, they may not reach their inherited potential due to environmental influences.

Q

The hydrangeas in the following photo all have
the same genetic makeup. Explain why the
plants have different phenotypes.

A

Environmental influence
-flower colour can be influenced by the nutrients and pH of the soil
-hydrangeas grown in slightly acidic soil have blue flowers, but if grown in slightly basic soil have pink flowers

Q

Some fruit flies have long wings and some have
short wings. Suggest an experiment that could
be used to find out the mode of inheritance for
wing length in fruit flies.

A

?
do a type of DNA test to find genes/ pedigree to find out if traits are x-linked/hereditary/dom./rec.

21
Q

Which animals have different blood type variations?

A

Dogs, cats, horses, and chimpanzees

22
Q

Co-Dominance

A

we see a 3rd phenotype of the trait which has both of the other 2 phenotypes present

23
Q

Four o’clocks are flowering plants. Suggest why
a cross between two lavender four o’clocks
would produce an F1 generation of purple
flowers, lavender flowers, and white flowers.

A

?
-incomplete dominance: those colours could be an intermediate phenotype
-the flower genes could have multiple alleles for colour

24
Q

Give an example of how temperature can affect the phenotype of an animal.

A

-Siamese cat is covered in creamy white fur, except on its ears, face, feet, and tail
-the pattern is due to a mutation in a gene for pigment production
-as a result of the mutation, the enzyme responsible for black fur is sensitive to heat
-the enzyme is active only in the cooler temperatures found at the cat’s extremities, giving the Siamese cat its characteristic appearance

25
Q

Which blood type is the universal donor?

A

Type O

26
Q

Which blood type is the universal acceptor?

A

Type AB

27
Q

Can carbohydrates present on the surface of RBC’s be harmful?

A

yes, if you give someone the wrong blood type since it can cause them to start attacking each other

28
Q

Which inheritance pattern are roan cattle an example of?

A

codominance

29
Q

Which type of dogs are considered universal blood donors for other dogs?

A

Greyhounds

30
Q

incomplete dominance

A

Inheritance pattern in which the phenotype of a heterozygous individual falls in between the two parental phenotypes
-e.g. Snap Dragons and Carnations can be RED (RR), WHITE (rr) or PINK (Rr)
-e.g. People can have STRAIGHT hair (SS), CURLY hair (ss) or WAVY hair (Ss)

31
Q

incomplete dominance occurs when the phenotype of the heterozygote is an ______ of the parents (snap dragons: red + white = pink)

A

intermediate

Homoz. dominant and homoz. recessive →intermediate phenotype: heterozygous

32
Q

codominance

A

Both alleles are completely expressed at the same time, and so the heterozygous individual has a mixture of two parental phenotypes
-e.g. in cattle, a RED cattle (RR), a WHITE cattle (WW) and a ROAN cattle (RW)
-roan cattle have patches of red hair and white hair intermingled with eachother

33
Q

multiple alleles

A

Many genes have more than 2 alleles
E.g. ABO blood type in humans involves 3 alleles (A, B and O)

A person can have 1 of 4 blood types (phenotypes);
A, B, AB, or O

34
Q

The letters(A,B,O) refer to two types of __________, A and B, that are found on the surface of ________-

A

carbohydrates; red blood cells

35
Q

Blood Type A – coated in

A

carbohydrate A

36
Q

Blood Type B – coated in

A

carbohydrate B

37
Q

Blood Type AB – coated in

A

both carbohydrate A and B

Q

Blood Type O –

A

no carbohydrates

39
Q

blood type O can donate to

A

everyone

40
Q

blood type AB can receive blood from

A

everyone

41
Q

universal donor

A

type O

42
Q

universal acceptor

A

type AB

43
Q

IA and IB are _________, and both are also completely dominant over __

A

co-dominant; i

44
Q

polygenic trait

A

range of phenotypes due to additive effects of multiple genes

e.g. eye colour, height, and skin colour in humans

45
Q

As many as __ genes influence skin colour

A

60

46
Q

Different allele combinations account for a great variety in

A

phenotypes

47
Q

example of how heredity and environment influence phenotype

A

E.g. trees genotype DOES NOT change throughout it’s lifetime, however its phenotype DOES change (shape, size, colour, etc.)
greatly depend on the tree’s exposure to sunlight and soil conditions

48
Q

give an example of how temperature affects phenotype

A

The Siamese cat pictured is covered in
creamy white fur, except on its ears, face, feet, and tail.

The pattern is due to a mutation in a gene for pigment production.

As a result of the mutation, the enzyme responsible for black fur is sensitive to heat.

The enzyme is active only in the cooler temperatures found at the cat’s extremities, giving the Siamese cat its characteristic appearance.
