gentics Flashcards
who came up with the idea of genes
Mendel and before him everyone thought that your genes would get split 50 50
ex. tall guy + small girl = medium kid
steps of his experiment with pea plants
P1 -> F1 -> Self Fertilization ->F2
P1
parental (P) (pure-breeding) = pure yellow
ex. blue eyes are pure both parents have to have them
(YY or yy)
(grandparents)
F1
- you will see 100% dominant
- it will be hybrid between Yy but the dominant covers up the resscive
ex. flashlight still goes on when the sun is out but it doesn’t do anything since the sun (dominant) is covering it up
F2
75% will always look dominant 25% will always look recessive (3:1)
- use punnent square for this
dominat
covers up recessive
recessive
only shows up when dominant inst there
allele
what variations there are
ex. variations in eye color are blue, green, brown
Mendel 7 different traits that he studied
- seed or pea color = yellow/green
- flower color = purple/white
- seed pod color = green/yellow
- seed shape or texture = round/wrinkle
- seed pod shape = inflated/constricted
- stem length = tall/short
- flower position = axial(side)/ terminal(top end
FIRST TRAITS ARE DOMINANT
how would u. abbrevate homo purple/white
+
homo tall/short
PP pp
TT tt
what has to happen for mendels study to work/start
both parents have to be pure breeds
if you are a reccesive + reccesive can you turn dominant
- no you cant create a dominant from a recessive.
- dominat could have hidden recessive traits but recessive is only recessive
ex. two blue eyed parents can’t create a brown eyed kid
testcrossing
helps you figure out if you are a hyprid or a pure breed (firguers out what type of dominant u are ex. RR or Rr)
- only do this for complete dominance
homozygus
two of the same either dominant or recessive
homozygus dominant
two of the same letter that are both dominant RR
homozygous recessive
two of the same letter that are both recessive rr
heterozygous
dominant + recessive (hyprid) Rr
phenotype
what you look like
ex.
- tall or short
- blonde or brunnete
- roll your tongue or not
- A blood, B blood or O blood
genotype
genetic code
do you need to do testcrossing if you are recessive
no bc you are only recessive
explain the diagram for test crossing
3 different dominance patterns
Complete Dominance
Incomplete Dominate
Co-dominant
Explain Complete Dominance
the dominant allele trait complete covers up the recessive allele
F1 100% red and hyprid Rr
Incomplete Dominance
the dominant allele partially covers up the recessive (looks blended)
-genotype is the same is complete dominance but you interpt it differently
F1 100% hybrid Rr
100% pink
F2 1 red; 2 pink; 1 white
