| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mendel's first law | alleles segregate from one another during the formation of gametes. |
| A DNA molecule | contains information for the construction of proteins. |
| nitrogen based sequence | the structure in DNA that apparently serves the source of coded information |
| mutation | changes in the base of a nucleotide |
| "crossing over" | the process in which parts of chromatids are exchanged |
| gene | the basic inheritance unit of life |
| meiosis | occurs during both spermatogenesis and oogenesis |
| incomplete dominance | when you cross a red phenotype and a white phenotype and the resulting offspring are pink |
| ex. of recessive alleles | bb |
| ex. of phenotype ratio | 3:1 |
| ex. of dominant "pure breed" | BB |
| ex. of hybrid | Bb |
| ex. of genotype ratio | 1:2:1 |
| A-B-O blood groups | trait controlled by multiple alleles |
| sickle-cell trait | trait due to incompletely dominant genes in a heterozygous state |
| hemophilia | trait due to sex-linked recessive gene |
| Turner's syndrome | trait due to genotype XO |
| Down's syndrome | trait due to trisomy of chromosome 21 |
