Chapter16,17 Inheritence, Phenotype Determination Flashcards
P generation
True breeding parents
F1 generation
First generation offspring of a p cross
F2 generation
F1 mono hybrids self fertilize to produce the F2 generation
Mendel’s Data
No blending - either trait was present or absent
Traits were hidden in F1 generation but reappeared in F2 generation
3:1 ratio present:hidden
Dominant trait
Is seen in a true breeding parent and its F1 hybrid (heterozygote)
Recessive Trait
Trait seen in true breeding parent but is masked in the F1 hybrid
Genes
Genetic determinants of traits are unit factors that are passed intact from generation
Alleles
Every individual carries two versions of gene fir a trait, and the gene for each trait may have variant firms
Mendel’s law of segregation of alleles
Two copies of a gene segregate from each other during gamete formation and transmission from parent to offspring
Segregation
Alleles separate into different haploid cells that eventually give rise to gametes
Fertilization
During fertilization, male and female gametes randomly combine with each other
Genotypes
Genetic composition of individual
Homozygous
Individuals with two identical copies of a gene
TT OR tt
Heterozygous
Individuals with two different alleles of the same gene
Tt
Phenotype
Characteristics of an organisms that are a result of their genotype
Tall and dwarf
