Q

What is Blending Inheritance

A

Traits from Mother and father blend together–> form observable traits

black sheep x white sheep = grey sheep

intermediate traits

Q

What is inheritence of acquired characteristics

A

traits:
Modified (thru use), passed onto offspring thru modified use

giraffes need longer necks by straining to reach leaves–> offspring w l

Q

Mendels experimental Method with purple and white flowers

A
  • he removed male anther pf purple flower
  • prevented self fertilization
  • dusted the stigma (female part with white flower pollen

these flowers were self fertilizing (both male and female parts)

Q

what was the result of mendels purple and white flower

A

First generation of those flowers has ALL PURPLE

2) Second generation 3:1 of purple flowers to white flowers
genotype ration: 1:2:1

these offspring were known as hybrids

Q

Particulate theory

A

genes occur in pairs and determine traits.
2) during gamete formation genes seperate –> each gamete only contain one gene from homoglous pair
3) offspring will inherit combo of genes NOT BLENDED

Q

What is the princple of segregation

A
  1. punnet square
  2. two alleles of a gene SEGREGATE into SEPERATE GAMETES w a 50/50 chance of carrying a homogolous pair
  3. Genes will combine randomly to produce a PHENOTYPE according to rules of dominance

23
Q

Incomplete Dominance

A

Intermediate traits fesult from heterozygous fominance
F2: 1:2:1
results in blending of phenotype but ALLELES WILL REMAIN DISTINCT

this is not like blending inheritance cuz blending inherentence means blending gense cant happen

Q

Co dominance

A

Both recessive and Dominant traits appear in the phenotype of hybrid organisms

25
Q

Lethal inheritance

A

Inherited gene leads to death

26
Q

Why were peas ideal model organism

easy to manipulate, cheap, many, short reproductive cycle

example of Codominance

A

Blood types

28

Agglutination

A

clumping

Q

When does Agglutination occur

A

when blood cells stick together and when donor blood cells are incompatible with recipent serum

48
Q

How to determine blood type of a person?

A

add serums to person blood type,
serum b contains antigen against nantigen B
clump will form and u find this in AB and B blood time

u do not have rh protein

52
Q

clumps

A

+ rh cuz cell has antigen

53
Q

no clump
