Genetics
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chromosome Theory of Inheritance (CTI) | how transmission of chromosomes account for Mendelian patterns of inheritance, how chromosomes carry + transmit genetic determinants of traits |
| CTI resulted from | analysis of transmission of traits, material basis of heredity, microscopic examination of mitosis, meiosis, and fertilization |
| Sex determination | effected by temperature, location, social interaction |
| X/A Ratio | ratio between X chromosomes + number of sets of autosomes that determines sex |
| X-O Sex determination in some insects | males- XO females-XX X/A=0.5-Male X/A=1.0-Female |
| Z-W Sex determination in birds + some fish | ZZ-Male ZW-Female |
| Haplodiploid sex determination in bees | Male- 16, haploid - drones, produced from unfertilized haploid eggs Females- 32, diploid - worker/queen bees, produced from fertilized eggs |
| Morgan's experiments | confirmed chromosome theory of inheritance, created male fruit fly with white eyes (odd) |
| Discovery-Based science | aims to find new patterns, explore, observe |
| X-linked genes | located on the X chromosome |
| Y-linked genes | located on the Y chromosome |
