PP3 Flashcards
due to meiosis during sexual reproduction
genetic shuffling or genetic recombination-
cell division that involves reduction in chromosome number, from diploid to haploid so a parent only passes on ½ of his/her chromosomes to offspring
meiosis
During meiosis, homologous pairs of chromosomes line up & genes switch from 1 chromosome to another before fertilization occurs
crossing over
fusion of 2 haploid gametes (sperm, eggs) to make 1 diploid zygote, each offspring has ½ of his/her chromosomes from each parent so each offspring is from his/her siblings depending on which gametes form the zygote
fertilization
Discovered how genes work by studying genetics in pea plants by cross pollination (pollen from one plant to another) for desired traits= artificial selection
Gregor Mendel: 1857
1 trait is dominant & 1 trait is recessive & there are ONLY 3 genotypes & 2 phenotypes
Mendelian Genetics
given certain parental genotypes it provides representation of genotypes and phenotypes for offspring
punnett square
Since parents only pass on ____ their alleles for each gene they have to their offspring so as discovered by Mendel genetic variation automatically occurs since the offspring will not be identical to their parents or their siblings
half
“TT” “Tt” “tt”
genotype
physical expression ex tall, short
phenotype
used to explain the concepts from previous slide #6 …..Mendel discovered that 2 “alleles for a gene separate into gametes when they are made during meiosis, each gamete receives ONLY 1 of the 2 alleles”
Depending which alleles combine during fertilization, the phenotypes of the offspring are varied from the parents and from each other, so the phenotype output illustrates genetic shuffling/recombination
law of segregation
As discovered by Mendel, when examining 2 traits/genes, “the alleles from the 2 or more different genes separate from one another and segregate independently of one another when gametes are made” and during fertilization, AGAIN illustrating genetic shuffling/recombination of the offspring
Law of independent assortment
means that these inheritance patterns are different from what Mendel found where 1 trait is dominant & 1 is recessive
Non-Mendelian genetics
more than 2 alleles for a trait, allows for more than 3 genotypes & 2 phenotypes of offspring (not just 1 dominant and 1 recessive)
Multiple alleles
Human blood typing alleles-
I A, IB, io
2 of the multiple alleles from slide #9 are equally dominant and both are equally expressed when they are together in a genotype; Allows more than 3 genotypes and 2 phenotypes
Codominance
still 3 genotypes RR, Rr, and rr but
3 phenotypes- RR=dominant red, rr= recessive white, and Rr= intermediate (blended or mixed for heterozygous genotype) so pink
Incomplete dominance
alleles available for offspring in a gene pool can be different for different populations of a species in different locations around the world & can change with
migration
