Exam 3 Flashcards
heterozygous phenotype same as that of homozygous dominant
complete dominance of one allele
heterozygous phenotype intermediate between the two homozygous phenotypes; genotypic ratio=phenotypic ratio; Ex: pink flowers from red and white parents
incomplete dominance of either allele
both phenotypes expressed in heterozygotes; genotypic ratio=phenotypic ratio; Ex: AB blood
codominance
in the population, some genes have more than two alleles; Ex: ABO blood group alleles
multiple alleles
one gene affects multiple phenotypic characters; Ex: sickle-cell disease
pleiotropy
the phenotypic expression of one gene affects the expression of another gene; Ex: color of dogs
epistasis
a single phenotypic character is affected by two or more genes; Ex: skin color
polygenic inheritance
Particulate Theory of Inheritance
Law of Equal Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Mono- and Di-hybrid crosses, dominant & recessive, etc.
Gregor Mendel
Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance
sex chromosomes & sex-linked inheritance
aka “hot dog”
Thomas Hunt Morgan
When is the Law of Segregation realized in meiosis?
anaphase I and anaphase II
When is the Law of Independent Assortment realized in meiosis?
anaphase I only
alleles of genes on nonhomologous chromosomes assort independently
Law of Independent Assortment
the two alleles for each gene separate
Law of Segregation
Which of Mendel’s laws explains the outcome of a monohybrid cross?
Law of Equal Segregation
Which of Mendel’s laws explains the outcome of a dihybrid cross?
Law of Equal Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment
