Uni vocabulary Flashcards
An individual who has an ally for particular trait, but not expressive
Recessive
And allele that will only be expressed if you receive two copies of it
recessive
A type of selection in which humans choose which individual gets to reproduce with eachother
artificial selection
A type of selection in which humans choose which individual gets to reproduce with eachother
artificial selection
Variation that can exist for our particular characteristic
trait
different versions of a gene
allele
The outward expression of your combination of alleles
Phenotype
ACTG examples of a
nitrogen base
A hybrid which consists of two different alleles
heterozygous
UV light or x-rays are examples of this type of mutagen
Physical
A type of inheritance in which one allele masks or hides the other
complete dominance
those are have favourable characteristics are most likely to survive in past genes the next generation
natural selection
The change in relative frequency of alleles in the species overtime
Evolution
A type of gene mutation in which one base is exchanged for another
substitution
genes code for
proteins
A type of inheritance in which both characteristics are fully expressed in the heterozygote
co dominance
The shape of DNA
double helix
consist of one sugar, one phosphate, and one nitrogenous base
nucleotide
A type of inheritance in which the heterozygous is an intermediate phenotype
incomplete dominance
when both alleles are the same
Homozygous
A mutation that increases the biological fitness of an individual
Positive
Any characteristic that increases your chances of survival or reproduction
Natural selection
Any characteristic that increases your chances of survival or reproduction
adaptation
Ability to survive and successfully reproduce
Biological fitness
an allele that will be expressed, even if you have one copy of it
Dominant
