| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| one specific form of a gene for a single trait | allele |
| the trait expressed or visible in the offspring | dominant trait |
| the trait masked and not visible in the offspring | recessive trait |
| the offspring of contrasting crosses usually expresses the dominant trait but posseses an invisible recessive trait | hybrid |
| not identical genes in allele Ex. Tt | heterozygous |
| the condition in which neither allele is dominant and the organism is a combination between 2 alleles | incomplete dominance |
| the genetic make up of an individual for a trait; combination of alleles for a trait | genotype |
| appearances in an organism | phenotype |
| the same identical allele in a pair Ex. tt , TT | homozygous |
| the probability of two events happening together equals the probability of the event x by the prob of the other | product rule |
| invovles only one characteristics or traits | monohybrid cross |
| involves two characteristics or traits | dihybrid cross |
| states organism inherit traits through the genes | gene theory |
| inheritanance which larges numbers of different genes are involved in the expression of a single trait | polygenic inheritance |
| is when there are more than a pair of alleles for a given trait Ex. Blood types | multiple allele |
| is when a chromosome carries genes with many characteristics and are inherited together (linked) | gene linkage |
| occurs when individual genes on a chromosome can be seperated and exchanged | crossing over |
| chromosomes not involved in sex deterination male and female have 22 pairs each | autosome |
| traits produced by genes located on the x chromosome | sex linked trait |
| condition in which a pair of homologous chromosomes fail to seperate during meiosis | nondisjunction |
| the loss of a segment from a chromosome | deletion |
| when a segmant of a chromosome is turned around | inversion |
| when a segment breaks off one chromosome and become attached to another chromosome | translocation |
| asexual reproduction ; produces genetically identical offspring | cloning |
| analyzing the amniotic fluid of the fetus can detext disorders | aminocentisis |
