Term
Definition
Father of Genetics   Gregor Mendel  
🗑
what did gregor mendel do   he studied inheritance patterns in pea plants,  
🗑
heredity   passing of traits from parent to offspring  
🗑
alleles   two forms of a gene that are represented by capital or lower case letters  
🗑
dominant   stornger of the two alleles expessed in the hybirid, R  
🗑
recessive   gene that is masked by the domimant, r  
🗑
genotype   gene combination for a trait (RR,Rr,rr)  
🗑
pheontype   the physical feature resulting from a geontype (red or white)  
🗑
homozygous genotype   gene combination involving the same kind of genes, aka pure  
🗑
heterozygous genotype   gene combination of one dominant and one ressive allele aka hybrid  
🗑
punnett squares   used to determine the probability of having a certian type of offspring when given the alleles of the parents  
🗑
momohybrid cross   cross involving a single trait  
🗑
P1   the parental generation in a breeding experiment  
🗑
F1   the first generation offspring in a breeding experiment  
🗑
F2   the second generation offspring in a breeding experiment  
🗑
Law of Dominance   some genes of a pair of genes can dominate over the other gene, such that the individual appears to only have one of the allelse  
🗑
Law of Segreation   individuals have two genes for each trait, one from the mother and one from the father during sperm and egg formation these two genes separate so that each spder or egg has only one gene  
🗑
Law of Independent Assortment   during reproduction, the genes to different traits sort independently of each other in the egg and sperm  
🗑
incomplete dominace   when the heterozygote is intermediate to the homozygotes. Cross a red snapdragon with a white snapdragon and the offspring are pink.  
🗑
codominance   where both alleles are expressed. EX: A blood crossed with B blood creates AB blood  
🗑
Espistasis   when one gene inteferes with an allele to another gens.  
🗑
incomplete dominance   the heterozygous condition resluts in an intemediate third blended phenotype  
🗑
codominance   both alleles of a gene are expressed equally  
🗑
multiple alleles   when more than two different alleles exist for the same trait  
🗑
Rh factor   an inherited trait taht refers to a specific protien found on the surface of red blood cells. if you blood has the protien then your positive and if you don't have it then youre negative  
🗑
multifactorial traits   determined by interaction between a gene or gens and the environment  
🗑
polygenic traits   the inheritrance patter is controled by two or more genes each with two alleles  
🗑
linked genes   genes that are located on the same chrosome, and are often inherited togehter  
🗑
universal recipent of blood   AB+  
🗑
universal donor of blood   O-  
🗑
sex-linked traits   a gen found only on the x chrosome and not the y  
🗑
barr body   the inactive x chrosome of mamals  
🗑
agglutination   when blood antigens are mixed with corresponding antibodies  
🗑
pedigree   a graph or chart on studing a genetic syndrome  
🗑
inheritance of mitochondrial DNA   only inherited by moms egg, passes it to all of their offspring  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
