Genetic I Flashcards
What do the top and sides of the Punnets squares hold?
Genes from parents
What is Mendel’s principle of dominance
Traits are controlled by recessive allele and masked by dominant.
What do the boxes inside the punters squares hold.
Gene combinations for offspring
What is heterozygous?
2 different alleles for a particular trait
What is homozygous?
2 identical alleles for a particular trait
In what are offspring identical to parents?
Homozygous
Physical appearance of an organism?
Phenotype
Genetic makeup of an organism
Genotype
Greater number of offspring =
Closer numbers to expected average
What does p, f1, f2 mean?
Parents, first filial, second filial
What is classic dominant/recessive? How many phenotype?
One allele has dominance over another, 2
What is codominance? How many phenotype?
One gene, two alleles, 3 phenotypes
