Basic Genetics Flashcards
1
Q
Locus
A
Position of gene on C
2
Q
Allele
A
Genes having two or more forms. Each a = of any given gene lie on same locus on both members of homologous pair
3
Q
Mono hybrid inheritance
A
A monohybrid cross is a mating between
two individuals with different alleles at one genetic locus of interest.
The character(s) being studied in a monohybrid cross are governed by two or multiple alleles for a single locus.
4
Q
Dishy rid inheritance
A
Dihybrid cross is a cross between two pure lines (varieties, strains) that differ in two observed traits. In Mendelian sense, between the alleles of both these loci there is a relationship of complete dominance - recessive.
5
Q
Gene
A
Basic unit of hereditary
