inheritance and variation

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What law says that individuals are diploid?   Law of segregation  
🗑
what law says that two alleles of a gene separate when forming gametes?   law of segregation  
🗑
what say says gametes combine randomly in forming offspring?   law of segregation  
🗑
what law says alleles of genes located on different chromosomes (unlinked) are inherited independently?   law of independent assortment  
🗑
"medelian"   traits cause by a single gene in a dominant/recessive relationship  
🗑
are you considered a carrier if you carry two mutants alleles? (aka two bad alleles?)   No, you are considered affected  
🗑
pedigrees   famly trees that identify individuals with the disease/trait  
🗑
the factors that can disguise Mendelian segregation of alleles   incomplete dominance; codominance; environmental effects; pleiotropic effects; epistasis; continuous variation; chromosomal linkage; sex linkage  
🗑
incomplete dominance   when an offspring's phenotype is in between the phenotypes of its parents (like pink snapdragons)  
🗑
codominance   produce a heterozygote phenotype that is a combination of the two homozygotes  
🗑
multiple alleles   many alleles for a particular gene  
🗑
I^A (for blood type A)   adds galactosamine  
🗑
I^B (for blood type B)   adds galactose  
🗑
i (for O blood type)   adds neither sugar  
🗑
pleiotropic   One gene, many phenotypes. Alleles that have more than one phenotypic effect  
🗑
epistasis   interaction between two genes where one of them modifies the phenotypic expression of the other  
🗑
polygenic inheritance   one characteristic, many genes. These genes contribute to the phenotype. The result is continuous variation (like different shades of skin color)  
🗑
multifactorial   polygenic + environmental  
🗑
name some multifactorial traits   skin, cancer, diabetes, heart disease  
🗑
name some polygenic inheritance   skin color, eye color  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
