Lecture 4 Flashcards
Wilhelm Johannsen 1909 pointed out that phenotype which referred to the appearance of an organism, it’s?
MORPHOLOGY
PHYSIOLOGY
BEHAVIOR
Is the genetic constitution that an individual inherits.
GENOTYPE
The main factors that contribute to the differences of each individual are the?
ENVIRONMENT AND GENETIC MAKE UP of the animal.
Refers to certain patterns of how traits are passed from parents to offspring
Mendelian inheritance
Mendel proposed three laws .
Laws of Inheritance:
- Law of Dominance
- The Law of Segregation
- Law of independent assortment
In heterozygous condition, the dominant allele gets express. F1 generation express dominant allele
Law of Dominance
Two alleles do not mix when they come together in hybrid pair & are independent of each other
Law of Segregation
During gamete formation, two genes segregate independently of each other as well as of the other trait
Law of Independent Assortment
The characters that appear in F1 generation called?
DOMINANT
Characters appear in the F2 generation called
RECESSIVE
A relationship between alleles of a gene, in which one allele masks the expression of another allele at the same locus
DOMINANT
able to be covered up by a dominant trait
RECESSIVE
A branch of biology that deals with heredity and variation of organisms
GENETICS
carry the hereditary information
Arrangement of nucleotides in DNA
CHROMOSOMES
Chromosomes occurs in pairs
Homologous chromosomes
New combinations of genes occur in sexual reproduction
Fertilization from two parents
Homologous chromosomes
A unit of heredity, a section of DNA sequence encoding a single protein
Gene
Entire set of genes
Genome
