2022 Genetics Intro
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| alternative form of a gene | allele |
| X-shaped structure containing many genes | chromosome |
| "same" alleles (HH or hh) | homozygous |
| "different" alleles (Hh) | heterozygous |
| genetic makeup | genotype |
| physical appearance | phenotype |
| study of inheritance | genetics |
| diagram used to predict genotype & phenotype of offspring | Punnett Square |
| trait only requiring 1 upper cased letter to be expressed | dominant trait |
| trait required 2 lower cased letters to be expressed | recessive trait |
| inheritance pattern with only 2 possible phenotypes; one trait is dominant over the other (red x white = red heterozygote) | complete dominance |
| two things that help form phenotype | genotype + environment |
| process using a recessive parent to find the unknown genotype of the other parent | Test Cross |
| segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait | gene |
| inheritance pattern where the dominant trait is not completely dominant (red x white = pink heterozygote) | incomplete dominance |
| inheritance pattern where both traits are dominant & equally expressed (red x white = red & white heterozygote) | co-dominance |
| Universal Donor | Type O |
| Universal Recipient | Type AB |
| female genotype | XX |
| male genotype | XY |
| inheritance pattern where males are the MOST affected | x-linked/ sex-linked |
| someone that has normal phenotype but can pass a recessive allele to their offspring | carrier |
| father of genetics | Mendel |
| examples of sex-linked traits (disorders) | hemophilia, color blindness, baldness, muscular dystrophy |
