Biology Test

QuestionAnswer
The study of biological inheritance patterns and variation Genetics
Australian monk who studied math and science, assigned to the garden Gregor Mendel 1860s
What did Gregor Mendel notice about pea plants They have contrasting traits, some always expressed some not
What did Gregor breed thousands of? plants and recorded his results
Gregor discovered the fundamental principles of... genetics by breeding garden peas
Gregor recognized what about traits Inherited as units from the parent generation and the organism inherits 2 copies of each units (genes)
Likelihood that a specific event will occur expressed as a decimal, % or fraction, ratio Probability
Probability = ? # of times and event is expected/ # of times and event could happen
The results predicted are more likely to occur when there are... Many trails
What are the 3 key choices in Mendel's Experimental design 1- Control over breeding (Pollination) 2- Use of purebred (both genes for a trait are the same) 3- Traits that appear in only 2 alternative forms ( T-tall t-short)
Why did mendel choose pea plants for his experiments 1- Reproduce quickly 2- Could control how they mate 3- Both sex organs of Male and Female are in all flowers
You have pollen from one flower going to another flower Cross pollination
Pollen stay in same flower Self pollination
P1 First Generation Parents- Gen. you started watching/ getting data from
F1 First Filial Offspring of P1- Second
F2 2nd Filial (F3) Offspring of F1- Third
One form (allele) of a trait will be expressed or is dominant over the other form (allele- recessive) when both forms are present Law of dominance
What is the pattern ratio is 3:1
Each organism has 2 factors (Rule of Unit Characters): that control each of its traits. These factors separate during formation of gametes Law of Segregation
(factors)(genes) for different traits (seed shape and seed color) are inherited independently of each other (separate Chromosomes) Law of independent Assortment
-Outward appearance -Physical characteristics Phenotype
How many organisms look like the dominant trait (1st #) compared to those that look like the recessive trait (2nd #) Phenotype Ratio
- Arrangement of genes that produces the phenotype Genotype
The # of organisms that have a Homologous dominant genotype: Heterozygous Genotype: Recessive genotype Ratio
Used to show the possible combination of gametes Punnett square
A breeding Experiment that tracks the inheritance of a single trait Monohybrid
A. Pairs of genes separate during gamete formation (meiosis) B. The fusion of gametes at fertilization pairs genes once again Mendel's "principle of segregation"
What are the solving steps for solving genetic problems? 1- determine genotypes for parents 2- Set up Punnett Square 3- Do cross 4- Analyze (Ratios, Answer Questions)
A breeding experiment that tracks the inheritance of 2 traits- Height, pod color Dihybrid
1- Independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis 2- Mixing of alleles as gametes join during fertilization Genetic Variation
Creates unique combinations of genes which results in organisms with unique phenotypes Sexual reproduction
Helps create even greater variations, exchange of chromosomes segments between homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 of meiosis Crossing Over
