Supplemental for LE1 Flashcards
as the term implies, focuses on the earliest attempts to
understand how traits are inherited by offspring from their parents.
classical genetics
is an Augustinian monk who is considered the
father of classical genetics
Gregor mendel
peas scientific name
Pisum sativum
According to Mendel, these traits
are controlled by hereditary units, which he called
elementen
Each
unit in a gene pair is called an
allele
An allele is ___if it masks the expression of the other allele when theyoccur together in a gene pair
dominant
The genes that constitute an individual is known as its
genotype
If a
gene pair is made up of identical alleles (e.g. YY or yy), the genotype is
considered to be
homozygous
On the other hand, if the genotype is made
up of non-identical alleles (e.g. Yy), it is
heterozygous
The biological trait
specified by the genotype is the
phenotypic
Mendel’s first principle of inheritance is the
principle of independent segregation
states that the alleles of a gene pair separate from each other
during gamete formation so that they are distributed into different gametes.
principle of indepdendent segregation

chromosomes
The specific region occupied by a gene or allele in a
chromosome is known as a l
locus
One chromosome
may carry several genes along its length which constitute a
linkage group
