| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
