Slide 15 Flashcards
Anthers (m)
Male flower part. Hold pollen
Stigma (fe)
Female flower part. Gets pollen
True breeding is synonymous with
Homozygous
F2 Generation
3:1 ratio
3 purple 1 white
Alleles are
Inherited from EACH parent
A from mom A from dad= AA
Pedigree chart
Human family tree
Recessive traits
Attached earlobe. Albino.
Recessively inherited disorders (disease)
Genotype is always hh (homozygous recessive)
Character
Eye color
PHenotype
Physical characteristic (height tall hair long)
Allele
Dominant: A, B C
Recessive: a,b,c
Different version of same gene
Complete dominance
Dominant allele covers up Recessive allele
Incomplete dominance
Blending (red flower+white= PINK)
Codominance
Both alleles show up.
An example of codominance is a roan cow where one parent is red and one parent is white. The roan cow has white and red because both alleles are expressed
Pleiotropy (pleiotropy alleles: sickle cell disease)
Single gene affecting multiple traits
