Exam 2 Part 2 Flashcards
Having two different alleles for a given gene
Heterozygote
_____ alleles are not necessarily the most common allele in a population, related to better, stronger, or more adaptive phenotypes, selected for by natural selection
Dominant
Different ____ can have the same phenotype
Genotype
Outward expression (hair color, seed color)
Phenotype
Yg, gg, and YY are examples of ________
Genotype
How many pairs of chromosomes do humans have?
23 pairs
Two alleles coding for a genotype segregate from one another during gamete formation
The law of segregation
What is an example of the law of segregation
Pair of chromosomes go through meiosis each sex cell gets 1 allele (Aa ——-> A for 1 and a for another), one trait punnet square
The separation and distribution of genes to gametes is a random and independent process; genes for different traits separate independently of one another and are randomly assorted; the segregation of any pair of chromosomes does not affect the probability of segregation of other pairs
Law of independent assortment
Normal cell division
Mitosis
Sex cell division
Meiosis
How many new cells are created during mitosis?
2
How many new cells are created during meiosis
4 sex cells that have half of the genetic material that they started with
Total DNA sequence of an organism
Genome
Strand of DNA in body cells. Occurs in pairs except for sex cells
Chromosome
