failing to reject H2, leads to … which is .. for genetics
fail to reject this one: … ratio —> … genes on homologous chromosomes

location on chromosomes; order
(NJCTL) Over the years since Mendel’s discovery of genetics, modern science has discovered many traits that show exception to Mendel’s Law. We can term these …
For example, many traits are … which means they do not follow the law of … Examples of these traits are … and …

(NJCTL) The main new discovery that changed how we interpret Mendel’s results is …
Sexual reproducers pass their genes on small bundles of DNA called … Each of these contains many … The chromosomes DO independently assort, but the the gene for a few, several, or many traits may be … –> These … are inherited as a …

red hair; freckles
(NJCTL) … occurs when the phenotypes of the heterozygote and dominant homozygote are identical
complete dominance
(NJCTL) in incomplete dominance, the phenotype of hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of the …

(NJCTL) in codominance, two .. alleles affect the phenotype in …, … ways
an example of this is the … phenotypes in humans, which involves a single gene with three different allels that can produce four genotypes
dominant; separate, distinguishable; ABO blood group
(NJCTL) pleiotropy is a situation in which … may affect .. characteristics
a single gene; many phenotypic
(NJCTL) Mendel didn’t know that alleles are grouped together on chromosomes. In this case,t he recessive are on one of the chromosome pairs of the parent and the dominants on the other.
The sex chromosomes have genes for many characteristics … A gene located on either sex chromosome is called a …

(NJCTL) recombination frequency is the average percentage of … that occur between ..
number of …./ number of … = recombination frequency
cross over events; linked genes; recombinations; offspring
(NJCTL) the amount of times that a crossing over event happens between 2 genes correlates to the
recombination frequency
(NJCTL) Recombination frequency (rf) can show the relative positions of genes on a chromosome. The higher the Rf the … the genes

(NJCTL) The study of genetics relies on the comparison of … and … based on actual experimental observation
expected values; observed values
(NJCTL) the Chi-squared test is designed to help us decide if the difference between the observed results and expected results of an experiment are …
In other words, it tells us if the difference is due to … or if it is due to some other factor that affected the results of our experiment
statistically significant; random chance
(NJCTL) the formula for chi square is:
X^2 =

(NJCTL) the chi square test is assessing the … which states: there is no …. between the observed and expected frequencies
null hypothesis; significant difference
(NJCTL) the df is determined by taking the number of possible outcomes and …
we normally use … as the level of significane
subtracting by one; 0.05
(NJCTL) If the value we get is less than the critical value, the data is …
otherwise, the data is …
statistically insignificant (accept null); statistically significant (reject null)
