Module 2 Flashcards
Classical Genetics
1
Q
What are particulate genetics?
A
Mendelian genetics - inheritance of traits through genes
2
Q
What is blending inheritance?
A
wrong offspring are a mix of parental traits
3
Q
what is co-dominance?
A
both alleles are fulled expressed (i.e. striped flowers)
4
Q
what is incomplete dominance?
A
blending, an average of alleles is expressed (i.e. pink flowers)
5
Q
What is the difference between monohybrid and dihybrid?
A
monohybrid = 1 trait
dihybrid = 2 traits
6
Q
what is the goodness of fit analysis?
A
Chi- squared analysis
7
Q
What are the properties of dominant alleles?
A
they are expressed over recessive alleles
8
Q
what is homozygosity?
A
when a trait shares the same allele, heterozygosity is opposite
