Giants of Genetics- Mendel Strutevant etc

Question 1

Mendel

Answer 1

basic patterns of inheritance
Dominant and recessice
segregation allele
independant assortment

Question 2

P generation

Answer 2

parental

Question 3

F generation

Answer 3

familial, the off spring

Question 4

Mendel grew peas for 3 generations

Answer 4

shows recessive inheritance,
traits skip generations
3:1 law of segregation
fertilisation was random

Question 5

Laws of independent segregation

Answer 5

c/s assort Independent of each other

Question 6

Morgan Theory

Answer 6

sex linked c/s
if only males have the trait, allele is X linked
and thus don’t follow mendelian patterns

Question 7

Genetic Recombination

Answer 7

increases variety
RF: no of recombinants/ total offspring *100
If RF= 50, genes unlinked
RF=0, genes linked

Question 8

Sturtevant

Answer 8

used RF to roughly map genes

1 map unit is cM= 1 %

Question 9

Recombination

Answer 9

Unlinked due to random orientation in meiosis

linked due to crossing over.
