| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Interaction between what is important? | genes with different genes and genes with the enviornment |
| What is an example of gene interaction? | dominance |
| Why is one trait dominant over another? | the dominant allele codes for a polypeptide that works while the recessive codes for a polypeptide that doesnt work |
| example of dominance | B-black pigment for fur in mice while b= defective enzyme that does not make pigment |
| When is the mouse able to make black pigment | only when just one allele B is present |
| What did Josef Kolreuter do? | he crossed red and white flowers |
| What were the results of Josef Kolreuters cross? | all flowers were pink |
| What did Josef Kolreuters results inforce? | blending inheritance |
| What were the results of Josef Kolreuters? (fractions) | 1/4 red, 1/2 pink, 1/4 white |
| What did his results show? | red is not completely dominant to white |
| What is incomplete dominance? | the active allele doesnt compensate totally for the inactive allele producing off spring that have a trait between the homozygous genotype traits in the heterozygous offspring |
| What is codominance? | a condition where both allels of a trait are expressed |
| What are both of the alleles in codominance? | they are both active |
| How are codominate allele written? | using a capital letter and a supscript or superscript |
| Example of codominance | HRHR= red hair HrHr=white hair HRHr=pinkish hair due to a 50/50 mix of red and white hair |
| What is polygenic inheritance? | traits that are the result of more than one gene |
| Example of polygenic inheritance | 3 pigments that produce pigments in eyes of fruit flies, each is produced by a different gene which produces varying amts of pigment in fruit flies eyes |
