lab Flashcards
long horn bees
melissodes tuckeri, very rare, in AR
DNA vs RNA
DNA = one OH-, RNA = 2 OH-
polyester bees
Colletes eulophi, water proof nests, very diverse, loves sand
fern lifecycle

slime mold lifecycle
sporangia, amoeboid, plasmogamy, karyogamy (fertilization), zygote, plasmodium
spring bees
andrena regularis, nesting aggregations, hardest to ID
character
heritable feature (eye color)
trait
variant of character, allels are associated w it ex: blue, brown, green eyes
general notation
P = parental gen
F1 = first offspring
patterns of inheritance
allels code for single trait, in meiosis each parent is left w 1 set of alleles
complete dominance
alleles that are dominant mask recessive
incomplete dominance
neither allel is completely dom or recessive (produce 3rd phenotype)
codominance
both alleles expressed (half and half)
sex linked inheritance
each person has 1 chromosome from each parent
