Law of Dominance: Some forms of genes (alleles) are ____ and some are ____
dominant
recessive
Forms of genes are called:
Alleles
(Law of Segregation): Genes separate from each other during _____ formation
gamete
(Law of ____ ______): The inheritance of one kind of gene does not effect the inheritance of another type of gene
Independent Assortment
The inheritance of one kind of gene does not effect the inheritance of another type of gene UNLESS the genes are found on the same chromosome (“gene ____”)
linkage
Genes are found on ______s
Chromosomes
GRIFFITH EXPERIMENT – 1928 Was trying to figure out how bacteria gave people ______
pneumonia
Griffith found that somehow the heat-killed harmful bacteria had passed their disease-causing ability to the harmless strain
Griffith called this process \_\_\_\_\_\_
Transformation
Griffith hypothesized that some _______-CONTAINING FACTOR was TRANSFERRED from the heat-killed harmful bacteria into the harmless live bacteria to make them able to kill the mice
Information
The Information-containing factor was also inherited by the transformed bacteria’s ______
offspring
Griffith hypothesized that this transforming factor was a ____
Gene
AVERY EXPERIMENT – 1944
Wanted to repeat Griffith’s work to determine
what ______Griffith’s TRANSFORMING GENES
were made of (PROTEINS, LIPIDS, CARBS, RNA, DNA?)
substance
Avery Made an extract (____) from the heat-killed bacteria (he knew that the ______contained the “transforming” gene)
