identification Flashcards
- were working with
several traits in sweet peas, notably a gene for purple (P)
vs. red (p) flowers, and a gene for long pollen grains (L)
vs. round pollen grains (l). - discovery of linkage
William Bateson and R.C. Punnett
- is the “information molecule”.
- serves as universal
information-storage molecule
for all forms of life.
DNA
DNA monomers are called
nucleotides
purine nitrogenous bases
adenine, guanine
pyrimidine nitrogenous bases
cytosine, thymine, uracil
This creates consistency in the nucleotide
sequences of the two DNA polymers that join
together to make a chromosome
complementary base pairing
- English physical chemist and xray crystallographer expert
● Previously worked on x-ray
diffraction patterns in coal and
carbon fiber technology in Paris
Rosalind Franklin
a linkage in which crossing over does not
occur. In other words, when only parental types are obtained from the test
cross progeny, it refers to absolute linkage.
complete linkage
the tendency of DNA sequences that are
close together on a chromosome to be inherited together
during the meiosis phase of sexual reproduction
genetic linkage
It occurs during pachytene stage. Non-sister chromatids of
homologous pair twist over each other due to action of enzyme
endonuclease. The chromatids get connected with each other at points
known as chiasmata.
crossing-over
In this condition, two chiasmata are formed between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
double crossing-over
a breeding or a mating between an
individual of dominant phenotype, who could be either
homozygous dominant (SS) or heterozygous (Ss), with an
individual that MUST be homozygous recessive (ss)
test cross
