Chapter 9 (Pt. 2) Flashcards
Mendel’s Dihybrid Crosses
matings btwn. individuals, differ in TWO traits studied
-determine if different genes are inherited together OR independently
9:3:3:1 ratio of phenotypes observed in F2 generation convinced Mendel…
different genes are inherited independently
Parental Types
have SAME phenotypes as individuals of P generation
Recombinant Types - have phenotypes that COMBINE traits of…
individuals of P generation
Mendel’s Principle of Independent Assortment
- genes divide into gametes INDEPENDENTLY
- results ignored until rediscovered in 1900
Scientists discovered parallels btwn. distribution of chromosomes during ______ & the inheritance of genes, suggesting….
meiosis
genes LINKED to chromosomes
Each body cell has 2 copies of each GENE & 2 copies of each __________
chromosome
Pairs of alleles & pairs of homo chromosomes both segregate during ______ ______
gamete formation
Genes for different traits & NON homo chromosomes both…
assort INDEPENDENTLY during gamete formation
Gene interactions may obscure ________ ______
mendelian principles
Incomplete Dominance
phenotype of heterozygote may be intermediate BTWN. homozygotes
Codominance
2 alleles fully clear in hybrid
Allele A
type A sugar appears on RBC
Allele B
type B sugar appears on RBC
Allele O
NO sugar appears on RBC
