gene function analysis

Question 1

who discovered gens and their ideas?

Answer 1

gregor mendal

Question 2

who foussed on mechanism of species formation and tree bredding?

Answer 2

joseph kolneuter

Question 3

what is medals first law?

Answer 3

principle of segregation

2 alleles of a gene segregate from each other during gamete formation

Question 4

what is mendals second law?

Answer 4

principle of independant assortment

genes controlling different characters assort independently (randomly) into gametes

Question 5

what is incomplete dominance?

Answer 5

heterozygous phenotype in intermediate between 2 homozygous phenotypes

Question 6

what is codominance?

Answer 6

simultaneous expression of 2 phenotypes determined by alternate alleles of a single gene

Question 7

what is forward genetics ?

Answer 7

approach use to find genes responsible for a particular phenotype

Question 8

what is reverse genetics?

Answer 8

approach used to analyse phenotype caused by a gene when the gene has become disruped/mutated

Question 9

what does a genetic complementation test do?

Answer 9

can be used to see if 2 independant isolated mutations with similar phenotypes are on same or different genes

Question 10

how would you know if mutations lie on same of different genes?

Answer 10

non-complementary mutations - on same gene (mutant)

complementary mutations - on different genes (wold-type)

Question 11

what is relationship between number of recombinantns and distances between genes?

Answer 11

number of recominants proportional to physical differences between linked genes
