46
what is a ploidy
the number of sets of chromosomes in a cell, or in the cells of an organism:
47
how does meiosis occur in plants
sporocytes in the sporangia on fern undergo meiosis to produce and release haploid spores, the create a gametophyte with Archegonium(egg) and Antheridium(sperm) that are released and come together to make a diplod zygote.
48
a plants lifecycle is called
alternation of genes

52
what is mendels second law
alleles of diff genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation
53

what is a ratio
proportion of 1 type of thing to another
57

58
what is a test cross
crossing indicidual of unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive
59
what r 2 uses of a test cross
identify unknown gamete determine if genes in question r located on diff chromos
60

77
what is polygenic inheritance
a system of inheritance where a trait is influenced by multiple genes and alleles, not by dominance or recessivity.
78
Tf a graph of polygenic inheritance will look like a straight line

89
what are the steps to DNA extraction
- Collection in an isotonic medium - Addition of lysis solution - addition of 70% ethanol
90
What are the steps to PCR
- denature DNA using heat to separate the strands - Annealing of primers, cool it down to primers can bond - extension of primers, add heat to allow DNA to add dNTPs to end of primers
91
What r the 4 ingredients required for PCR
- DNA extract - 4 DN-triphosphates(dATP, dCTP, dGTP, d TTP) - Primers - DNA polymerase
92
What do the DN-triphosphates do in PCR
the building blocks used to produce the copies of DNA
93

short segments of synthetic DNA necessary for initiation of DNA replicaition
94
What is DNA polymerase
heat stable enzyme that elongates DNA chain by adding DN-triphosphates(dNTP's) to the end of primers
95
What is restriction fragment analysis
the cutting of base sequences in DNA using restriction enzymes
96
what are the steps to restriction fragment analysis
- restriction digest - gel electrophoresis
97
what is restriction digest in fragment analysis
a restriction enzyme added to the PCR product and the solution is placed in an incubator, the enzyme cuts the DNA and places them into specific fragment sizes and numbers
98
What is gel electrophoresis in fragment analysis
placing the samples into a gel and electrodes are ran through them forcing the lighter samples to the positive end and the heavier samples to the positive end
99
TF DNA is positively charged
F, negative
100
What is the ladder used for in the gel
used as a reference to estimate size of DNA fragment
101
what is recombinant DNA
DNA from 2 diff sources engineered to create medically and agriculturally important proteins.
102
what is an organism that is the result to recombinant DNA
Genetically modified organism
103
what stiches the DNA back together ?
DNA Ligase
104
How do you find the phenotypic ratio given the map units
take the # of recombinant alleles and multiply by the % of map units given, then do the same with parental but multiply the % left eg) 15 map units = 0.15%, the rest = 0.85%
