Mendelian Gentics II
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Law of Independent Assortment | Different traits are inherited independently |
| Epistasis | One gene affects the expression of another |
| Polygenic Inheritance | Many genes contribute to phenotype |
| Pleiotropy | One gene has several effects on phenotype(e.g. Sickle-cell disease) |
| Co-dominance | Both alleles have effects |
| Aa x Aa = | 1/4 AA, 1/2 Aa, 1/4 aa |
| AA X Aa = | 1/2 AA, 1/2 Aa |
| Monohybrid Cross | Crossing two individual heterozygotes for one character (e.g. flower color) |
| Dihybrid Cross | Crossing two individuals who are both heterozygotes for two traits. |
| Imcomplete dominance | The situation in which the phenotype of heterozygotes is intermediate between the phenotypes of individuals homozygous of either allele. |
