gene tracking Level 1

QuestionAnswer
Punnet square used to determine all possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from a mating
Pedigree chart shows a family's genetic history using standardized symbols to depict relationships and the presence of specific traits or diseases across generations
Homozygous dominant (DD) The two alleles for the genotype are dominant (HH) and expressed in the phenotype
Heterozygous The two alleles for the genotype are different (Hh) and the dominant allele is expressed in the phenotype
Homozygous recessive The two alleles for the genotype are recessive (hh) and expressed in the phenotype in the absence of dominant allele
Carrier The disease is coded in the recessive allele and is masked by the dominant allele, so normal phenotype. Recessive allele can be passed to offspring.
Physical expression The protein produced by the genotype and therefore what the trait looks like
Why phenotype ratio is different from genotype ratio There are two genotypes Hh and HH for the dominant phenotype due to complete dominance
complete dominance The dominant allele completely masks the effect of the recessive allele and is fully expressed in the phenotype
Pure breeder Two alleles for the trait are the same so all gametes produced are the same for the trait, so pass on the same version of the trait to all offspring.
Why predicted outcomes can be different to actual outcome (1/2) Because the outcomes is only a prediction based on large numbers, the higher the number of breeding events, more the likely the predicted outcome will be correct
Why predicted outcomes can be different to actual outcome (2/2) because it is random which sperm and egg fuse.
Test cross Involves crossing a homozygous recessive individual, (hh), (e.g., has to be homozygous for trait to express recessive phenotype) with individual of unknown genotype (Hh or HH).
DNA sequencing the process of identifying the exact order of bases in a section (or gene) of DNA or the entire genome.
DNA sequence the specific order of the bases in a section of DNA e.g., a gene.
Genetic markers A specific, identifiable sequence of DNA with a known location on a chromosome that shows variation between individuals and can be used to track the inheritance of alleles within and between populations.
DNA profile a unique pattern derived from an individual's DNA: A visualisation of several genetic markers

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
