36
Q

genotype

A

an individual’s genetic makeup

37
Q

phenotype

A

the physical appearance of the genes

38
Q

four main types of inheritance

A
  • dominant/recessive inheritance
  • incomplete dominance
  • sexlinked inheritance
  • codominance
39
Q

dominant-recessive inheritance/mendelian genetics (3)

A
  • dominant alleles are expressed
  • recessive alleles are expressed only when they are homozygous
  • genotype and phenotype determined using Punnett square
40
Q

examples of dominant/recessive traits (3)

A
  • D: regular skin/hair/eyes R: albinism
  • D: dwarfism R: regular height
  • D: heterochromia R: both eyes same color
41
Q

dwarfism is technically called…

A

achondroplasia

42
Q

incomplete dominance

A

heterozygous alleles yield phenotype different than from homozygous dominant phenotype

43
Q

Many genetic medical disorders that appear to be dominant-recessive are actually better described as being having what kind of dominance?

A

incomplete dominance

44
Q

explain the difference between having sickle cell anemia and the sickle cell trait

A
  • sickle cell anemia: have two copies of the recessive allele and produce 100% irregular blood cells
  • sickle cell trait: has one copy of the recessive allele and makes 50% normal and 50% irregular
45
Q

sex-linked inheritance

A

inheritance of genes from the X (23rd) chromosome

46
Q

the X chromosome contains genes that determine….(3)

A
  • color vision
  • blood clotting
  • baldness
47
Q

autosomes

A

all of the chromosomes except the sex chromosomes

48
Q

why is the X chromosome unique?

A

it is the only chromosome of which you only require one copy

49
Q

the Y chromosome has very few genes, including…(2)

A
  • production of testosterone during fetal development
  • adolescent maturity in males
