GENETICS Flashcards
WHAT OCCURS DURING PROPHASE I?
- CONDENSE CHROMOSOMES
- NUC. ENVELOPE BREAKDOWN
- HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES PAIR WITH EACH OTHER IN SYNAPSIS AND ALIGN (TETRAD)
GENES ARE SWAPPED (CROSSING OVER)
WHAT OCCURS DURING METAPHASE I?
DNA ALIGNMENT LEADING TO CHROMOSOME CUTTING AT THE SAME LOCATION
WHAT OCCURS DURING ANAPHASE I?
HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES SEPARATE AND SISTER CHROMATIDS REMAIN TOGETHER = NOW HAPLOID
WHAT OCCURS DURING TELOPHASE I?
BEGINNING MEIOSIS II WITH SISTER CHROMATIDS
WHAT OCCURS DURING TELOPHASE II?
4 HAPLOID CELLS FROM SINGLE DIPLOID PARENT
WHAT IS NONDISJUNCTION?
FAILURE OF CHROMOSOMES TO SEPARATE DURING MEIOSIS RESULTING IN 2 COPIES OR NO COPIES OF CHROMOSOMES
WHAT IS THE RULE OF MULTIPLICATION?
BOTH EVENTS OCCURRING
X AND Y
WHAT IS THE RULE OF ADDITION?
EITHER EVENTS OCCURRING
X OR Y
WHAT IS INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE?
IF A PHENOTYPE OF A HETEROZYGOTE IS A BLENDED MIX OF BOTH ALLELES
EX: PINK
WHAT IS CODOMINANCE?
2 ALLELES BOTH EXPRESSED, NOT BLENDED EX: BLOOD TYPES - I(A) + I(B) --> LEADS TO A TYPE AB - I(A) + I(i) --> LEADS TO A TYPE A - I(i) --> LEADS TO A TYPE O
WHAT IS THE UNIVERSAL BLOOD ACCEPTOR?
AB
WHAT IS THE UNIVERSAL BLOOD DONOR?
O
WHAT IS POLYGENISM?
COMPLEX TRAITS ARE INFLUENCED BY MANY DIFF GENES
EX: HEIGHT, HAIR COLOR
WHAT IS PENETRANCE?
DESCRIBES LIKELIHOOD THAT A PERSON WITH A CERTAIN GENOTYPE WILL EXPRESS AN EXPECTED PHENOTYPE
WHAT IS EPISTASIS?
EXPRESSION OF ALLELES FOR ONE GENE IS DEPENDENT ON A DIFF GENE
EX: CURLY HAIR GENE WONT EXPRESS IF ANOTHER GENE CAUSES BALDNESS
