inheritance

Question 1

what is epistasis?🐬🌋

Answer 1

when one gene locus affects the other gene locus

Question 2

what’s the hardy weinberg equation?
what do p and q stand for?🌕🌙

Answer 2

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1.0
p= frequency of the dominant allele
q= frequency of the recessive allele

Question 3

what’s a genotype?
what’s a phenotype?
☀️🪸🌅

Answer 3

genotype- the genetic constitution of an organism (the alleles it has)
phenotype- the expression of genes and its interaction with the environment

Question 4

what’s autosomal linkage?
what’s sex-linkage?
🏜️

Answer 4

autosomal-genes that are located on the same chromosome
sex-a gene whose locus is on the X chromosome

Question 5

hardy weinberg assumptions?😊

Answer 5

no mutations occur in new alleles
population is large
mating is random
no selection so every allele has an equal chance to be passed on

Question 6

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1
p + q = 1
for the first equation, what does each of the 3 thingies mean🌑
and for the second equation 2 pls acc x
what should u start by looking @@@?
what to rember?

Answer 6

p^2 = homozygous dom AA
2pq = heterozygous dom Aa
q^2 = homozygous recessive aa
p = dom. q = recessive
q^2. and rmeber this is a frequency turn it into a frequency or smth x
