Q

true-breeding

A

produce only the same variety as parent (aa or AA)

30
Q

hybridization

A

crossing two true-breeding varieties

31
Q

law of segregation

A

chromosomes separate during meiosis (gamete have 50% chance to get it)

32
Q

allele

A

version of genes

33
Q

microtubules

A

string from centrosomes

34
Q

spindle

A

string from centrosomes

35
Q

phenotype ratio

A

visible difference (need punnett square)

36
Q

genotype ration

A

genetic difference (need punnett square)

37
Q

Punnett Square

A

probability chart

38
Q

pleiotropy

A

one gene produces multiple phenotypes (hydrangeas)

39
Q

complete dominance

A

regular stuff

40
Q

incomplete dominance

A

phenotype is in between (pink from white and red)

41
Q

co-dominance

A

both alleles affect phenotype (polka dots) or blood type

42
Q

testcross

A

testing unknown genotype with recessive homozygote ( will give different results if Aa or AA)

43
Q

monohybrid cross

A

one phenotype

44
Q

dihybrid cross

A

two phenotypes

45
Q

Law of Independant Assortment

A

alleles separate during gamete formation

46
Q

phenotypic plasticity

A

gene can produce different phenotypes

47
Q

Lamark

A

Discovered evolution (but because traits are used often)

48
Q

Mendel

A

Discovered ??

49
Q

Linnaeus

A

Discovered many species (but it was God)

50
Q

Darwin’s key observations

A

match, unity and diversity

51
Q

evolution

A

heritable change in population over time

52
Q

natural selection

A

variation-competition-survival of the fittest-reproduction-evolution

53
Q

homology

A

comparing homologous structures

54
Q

convergent evolution

A

took different paths to evolve but same result

55
Q

endemic

A

found nowhere else in the world

56
Q

population

A

same species living in same area

57
Q

gene pool

A

all alleles available in population

58
Q

p & q

A

allele frequencies

59
Q

p^2 & q^2

A

genotypic frequencies

60
Q

prerequisites for something in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

A

no gene flow, large population size, no mutations, no natural selection, random mating

61
Q

genetic drift

A

chance event causes allele frequency to change

62
Q

Founder’s effect

A

stranded on island

63
Q

Bottleneck effect

A

chance event wipes out other phenotypes

64
Q

gene flow

A

mat of alleles into and out of population (like migration)

65
Q

directional selection

A

favours totally different one

66
Q

disruptive selection

A

favours two (split)

67
Q

stabilizing selection

A

increases OG gene

68
Q

intrasexual selection

A

compete within same sex (head butting)

69
Q

intersexual selection

A

one sex chooses other sex (birds of paradise)

70
Q

heterozygote advantage

A

when Aa is better survival ( malaria and sickle cell anemia)

71
Q

sexual reproduction

A

fusion of 2 haploid gametes

72
Q

asexual reproduction

A

production of new organism without fusion
