BIOLOGY 3 Flashcards
we inherit from our parents
TRAIT
located within an organism’s genes
TRAIT INFORMATION
sections of DNA that is passed from parent to child during reproduction
genes
father of genetics
GREGOR MENDEL
must be based on discrete unit of inheritance
HEREDITY
what age does gregor mendel ender monastery
21
each parent has a set of genes and these are retained intact in the offspring
GENE THEORY
what does mendel worked with?
PEA PLANTS
why pea plants?
MULTIPLE VARIABLES THAT ARE CLREARLY VISIBLE
traits of pea plants
FLOWER COLOR

SEED SHAPE
POD COLOR
POD SHAPE
FLOWER POSITION
AXIAL OR TERMINAL
STEM LENGTH
short in pea plants
GENERATION
many in pea plants
OFFSPRING
what is easy to control in pea plants
MATING
what is the 3 laws of mendel?
LAW OF SEGREGATION
LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT
LAW OF DOMIANCE
portion of genes
ALLELES
when does alleles for each egen segregate?
DURING GAMETE FORMATION
4 cells with half number of chromosomes
MEIOSIS
no fixed pattern r allignment
METAPHASE PLATE
what happenes with genes for the different traits during gamete formation
ASSORT INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER
if only one trait
MONOHYBRID CROSS
if two or more traits
DIHYBRID CROSS
not a matter of size
DOMINANCE
two of the same allele
HOMOZYGOUS
two different alleles
HETEROZYGOUS
PP
HOMOZYGOUS DOMINANT

HOMOZYGOUS RECESSIVE
