WVSOM -- Mendelian Genetics
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| analysis of inheritance patterns to identify and characterize genes | Genetics |
| biological factors that induce particular traits | Genes |
| alternate forms of a given gene, inherited from different parents | Alleles |
| the location on a chromosome, often used to refer to the gene at that site | Locus |
| an allele which always determines the phenotype | Dominent |
| an allele which only determines phenotype in the absence of a dominant allele | Recessive |
| and entity that carries an mutation. The entity can be an allele, or an individual. | Mutant |
| an allele, or individual, that is not mutated; occurring normally in nature. They are usually dominent | Wild Type Alleles |
| the combination of alleles in an individual e.g. the genotype for someone with a Brown eye allele and blue eye allele is Bb | Genotype |
| observable characteristics. The physical manifestation of the genotype. e.g. the phenotype of a Bb person is brown eyes. | Phenotype |
| to carry both copies of the same allele, i.e. both dominant or recessive (BB or bb) | Homozygous |
| to have different alleles, i.e. one dominant one recessive (Bb) | Heterozygous |
| a homozygous individual | Homozygote |
| heterozygous individual | Heterozygote |
| a cross where one gene locus is tracked, e.g. Aa x Aa | Monohybrid Cross |
| a cross where two loci are tracked, e.g. AaBb x AaBb | Dihybrid Cross |
| the first generation produced in a series of crosses | Filial 1 |
| the second generation produced in a series of crosses | Filial two |
| inheritance of alleles at one locus does not influence inheritance at other loci | Independant assortment |
| sex determining chromosome, X or Y | Sex chromosome |
| any chromosome except X or Y | autosome |
| a gene located on the X chromosome | X linked; sex linked |
| A male who carries an X linked allele | Hemizygote |
| any gene not located on X, or characteristic not associated with X | Autosomal |
| a cross where three loci are tracked e.g. AaBbCc x AaBbCc | Trihybrid cross |
| 1:2:1:2:4:2:1:2:1 | F2 Genotypic Ratio; Dihybrid Cross |
| 9:3:3:1 | F2 Phonotypic Ratio; Dihybrid Cross |
| 1:2:1 | Monohybrid Genotype Ratio |
| 3:1 | Monohybrid Phenotype Ratio |
