Chapter 17 Flashcards
trait
anything you can see and hear
Aristotle
thought thought eg and sperm contain pangenes from all over the body that develop into that body part
Antony van leeuwenhoek
thought there was a mini person in sperm head that developed in the mother
Regnier de gaaf
thought the mini person was in the egg and the sperm stimulated it to grow
1800s inheritance view
believed that parents traits blend and would not show up in future generations
True Breeding Plants
show the same characteristics in each generation
Parental generation
the first true breeding plants used to breed
First filial generation
offspring of parent generation
Second filial generation
offspring of F1
Phenotype
the gene characteristics you can see
Monohybrid
a cross of two organisms only involving alleles of one trait
Genotype
specific DNA fo each trait
Dominent traits
expressed before any other
Recessive traits
traits not shown first and show when no dominant trait is present
Law of segregation
all individuals have 2 alleles of each gene, the two copies separate randomly when gametes form so each gamtete receives only one allele from each parent
alleles
different forms of one gene
Homozygous dominant
two of the same dominant alleles
Homozygous recessive
two of the same recessive alleles
Heterozygous
one dominant allele and one recessive allele
Law of Independent Assortment
the alleles for different genes segregate independently during gamete formation
Dihybrid cross
crossing two different traits at the same time not just alleles of one gene
Incomplete Dominance
neither allele can completely hide the other
has 100% the same gene combinations
Co-dominance
both alleles are fully expressed and appear together
Sutton
the chromosome theory of inheritance
Parts of Sutton
genes are carried on chromosomes
alleles come in pairs and segregate independently during gamete formation just like chromosomes
genes on different chromosomes assort independently but genes on the same chromosome do not
Linked Genes
genes found on the same chromosome that are close together and don’t assort independently
can only assort independently if there is a cross over btw the two alleles, the genes that are further away are ore likely to be segregated
Chromosome Mapping
finding the relative location of genes to each other on a chromosome
Recombinant Types
chromosomes with different allele combination in F1 than was present in the parent generation
Parental Types
F1 individuals with the same allele combinations as the parens
Sex Linked Traits
traits to do with gender and associated with the X and Y chromosome
Barr bodies
one of the X chromosomes that is nonfunctioning and deactivated
males and females only have one working X chromosome
Carriers
females that are heterozygous for a specific trait on the X chromosome
Multiple Alleles
many genes are controlled by more than 2 alleles in a population
