VARIATIONS Flashcards
- basic quality of living organism
- follow an almost universal law
- influence genetic makeup as well as env’t
VARIATIONs
types of variation
Morphological or structural
-involves the phenotype
Functional or physiological
-an array of biochemical and buophysical processes which result in functional or physiological characteristics
-when segments of homologous chromosomes are exhchanged in crossing-over, genes that are closely grouped together tend to stay together.
Location of genes
FACTORS AFFECTING HEREDITY
CROSSING OVER
LOCATION OF GENES
CHROMOSOMES AND SEX
A process of exchange between nonsister chromatids of a pair recombination of linked genes
crossing over
sequence of DNA that instructs a cell to produc a particular protein
genes
gene can mutate to various form called __________
alleles
a heritable alteration in a gene or chromosomes; also the process by which such alteration happens
mutation
A system of identifying lines sa fingertips
finger identification
the image produce by ridges on paper or other material
fingerprint
skin writing
compares the number of ridges
DERMATOGLYPHICS
Fingerprints are classsified acc. to the patterns of the ridges called________
PAPILLARY RIDGES
5%
THE RIDGES RUN FROM ONE SIDE, MAKING NO BACKWARD TURN
ARCHES
25-35%
AT LEAST ONE CIRCUIT O bilog sa tips
whorl
60-70%
runs paralled to other ridges
loops
