29
Q

Law of independent segregation

A

Characteristics pass independently of one another
Either one of characteristics combine with either of other characteristic alleles
Each inherited like monohybrid (3:1)^2

30
Q

Dihybrid inheritance eg

A

Height

Seed colour

31
Q

Dihybrid cross F2

A

TYTytYty x TYTytYty

32
Q

Codominance example

A

Cattle red/white coat

Roan (light red) coat

33
Q

Codominance genotypes/gametes

A

C^R C^R

C^W C^W

34
Q

Multiple Alleles

A

More than two alleles encode characteristic

Inherits two alleles from available

35
Q

Multiple Allele example

A

Blood groups
O (recessive)
A, B Codominance

36
Q

Polymorphism

A

multiple alleles combine

AB blood group

37
Q

Autosomes

A

22 out of 23 chromosomes
Similar size/shape
Genes/alleles determine phenotype

38
Q

Sex chromosome

A

23rd chromosome pair

X / Y

39
Q

X chromosome

A

Larger

Carries other genes (not sex determining but sex linked)

40
Q

Y chromosome

A

Smaller

Little space for non sex determining genes

41
Q

Female

A

XX
Same sex chromsome
Homogeneous/heterogeneous for sex linked characteristics (not expressed or carriers)

42
Q

Male

A

XY
Different chromosomes
Sperm contains X or Y - equal no of each at meiosis; determines gender
X linked gene expressed in phenotype

43
Q

Homogametic

A

Same sex chromosome

XX

44
Q

Heterogametic

A

Different chromosomes

XY

45
Q

Sex linkage cross/square

A

X^H X^H

X^h Y

46
Q

Sex linkage example

A

Male - uneffected/haemoglobin

47
Q

Drosophilia

A

Autosomal linkage
Genetic experiments
Small fruit fly

48
Q

Autosomal linkage

A

Genes inherited together
Autosomes not sex chromosomes
Form a linkage group

49
Q

Autosomal linkage ratio

A

9:3:3:1
Not linked alleles
Different chromosomes

50
Q

Failed law of segregation

A

Autosomal linkage

Failed to segregate independently during meiosis (inherited together, located on same chromosome)

51
Q

More linkage

A

Nearer jeans on chromosomes

52
Q

Crossing over in meiosis - autosomal linkage

A

Broken linkage
More likely of distance on chromosome is greater
Not always inherited together

53
Q

54
Q

Linkage group

A

3:1
Little/no segregation
Alleles on same chromosome

55

A

Interaction where expression of alleles of one gene masks the expression of alleles in others in a network

56
Q

Network

A

Genes working together

Interact

57
Q

Epistasis ratio

A

Different ratio to 9:3:3:1

58
Q

Epistasis recessive

A

Two copies of epistasis allele required to mask expression

59
Q

Epistasis recessive ratio

60
Q

Epistasis dominant

A

1 copy of epistasis allele required to mask expression

61
Q

Epistasis dominant ratio

62
Q

Epistasis Complementary

A

Effect of 1 gene combines with another gene - at least one dominant

63
Q

Epistasis complementary ratio

64
Q

Epistasis example

A

Gene A = agouti A, black a
Gene B = colour present B, albino b
Gene B effects expression of gene A
bb blocks any A expression (albino)

65
Q

Chi Squared (X)^2 equation

A

(X)^2 = sum of : (O-E)^2 / E

66
Q

Chi Squared purpose

A

Judge between observed and expected

If significant

67
Q

Expected

A

Row total x corresponding column/total no of observation

Based off cross ration (3:1)

68
Q

Null hypothesis

A

No significant difference between observed and expected
Accepted (no significant difference)
Rejected (significant difference)

69
Q

Confidence

A

95% confidence
0.05
Real not due to chance
Critical value - probability table

70
Q

Significant difference

A

More than critical value

71
Q

Degrees of freedom

A

Number of categories - 1

eg 2-1 = 1

72
Q

Chi Squared Table

A

O // E // (O-E) // (O-E)^2 // (O-E)^2/E
