Chaper 14 Vocab Flashcards
Cystic fibrosis
A human genetic disorder caused by recessive olio for chloride channel proteins characterized by excessive secretion of mucus on consequent vulnerability to infection fatal if untreated
Alleles
Any of the alternative versions of a gene that produces distinguishable phenotypic effects
Carrier
In genetics an individual who is heterozygous at any given genetic Lucas with one allele and one recessive allele the heterozygote is phenotypically dominant for the character determined by the gene but can pass on the recessive allele to offspring
Codominance
The situation in which the phenotypes of both alleles are exhibited in the heterozygote because both alleles affect the phenotype and separate distinguishable what is
Complete dominance
The situation in which the phenotypes of the heterozygote and dominant I was a go or indistinguishable
Dominant allele
And allele that is fully expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygote
Dihybrids
An organism that is heterozygous with respect of two jeans of interest all the offspring from a cross between parents W homozygous for different alleles are dihybrid
Epistasis
Type of gene interaction in which one gene alters the phenotypic effects of another Jean that is independently inherited
F1 generation
The first filial or hybrid offspring in a series of genetic crosses
F2 generation
Offspring resulting from interbreeding of the hybrid F1 generation
Genotype
The genetic makeup or set of alleles of an organism
Huntingtons disease
I would human genetic disease caused by a dominant allele theaters but uncontrollable body movements and degeneration of the nervous system
Homozygous
Having two identical alleles for a given gene
Heterozygous
Having two different alleles for a given gene
Hybridization
In genetics the meeting or crossing into true breeding varieties
