FLASHCARD DATA FOR BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GENETICS Topic 1: Mendel’s Genetics | 1. |Offspring that are the result of mating between two genetically different kinds of parents--the opposite of purebred. |hybrid | | 2. |The study of gene structure and action and the patterns of inheritance of traits from parent to offspring. This is the branch |genetics | | |of science that deals with the inheritance of biological characteristics.

theorem‚ p + q 1 and p2 + 2pq + q2 1. What does each of these formulas mean‚ and how are the formulas derived? p + q 1: If you add all the dominant alleles for a gene to all the recessive alleles for the gene‚ you get all of the alleles for that gene‚ or 100% of the alleles for the gene. (Note: This assumes the gene has only two alleles.) p2 + 2pq + q2 1: If you combine all the individuals that are homozygous dominant for a gene with all the heterozygotes and homozygous recessive individuals

and circle your answers. 1) If the frequency of a recessive allele is 30% in a population of 100 people‚ how many would you predict would be carriers of this allele‚ but would not express the recessive phenotype? q= 0.30 p= 0.70 Carriers = 2pq = 2(.3)(.7) = .42 #= (.42)(100) = 42 individuals 2) From a sample of 278 American Indians‚ the following MN blood types were obtained: MM = 78‚ MN = 139‚ NN = 61. Calculate the allele frequency of M and N. M= 0.53 N= 0.47 MM = 78/278 = 0.281

1. Alleles are different versions of the same gene and one may be dominant to the other. –TRUE 2. In a dihybrid cross of a mother and father who are both heterozygous dominant for chin fissures and dimples‚ what would be the phenotypic ratio of chin fissures and dimples in their offspring? –-9:3:3:1 3. If two alleles are heterozygous‚ it means they are the same allele. --FALSE 4. If the letter ""C"" stands for the dominant allele for having a chin fissue and the letter ""c"" stands for the recessive

• To observe how a disease can act as a selective force • To describe changes in allele frequencies in a population as a result of a selective force Hypothesis The starting ratio of HbA to HbS is 3:1; in a typical population‚ the Homozygous Dominant Gene would become the standard‚ but because carrying the Heterozygous version of the allele has an advantage to fighting Malaria it will become the dominant Allele for the population. The HbA/HbS gene will thrive because it helps in the fight against

one big‚ the offspring will turn out to be medium size. Gregor Mendel: Suggested that there would be a recessive and a Dominant allele. If the offspring inherited the genes from their parents the recessive gene will always be masked by the dominant gene (in the example above‚ the tallest parent would have a dominant tall allele that would mask the recessive small allele causing the offspring to be tall). * Gregor Mendel’s Experiments: Method: Consisted of crossing a variety of tea plants to

anatomical terminology‚ metric conversion and genetics‚ specifically the concept of dominant and recessive alleles in a human pedigree. Objectives Objectives for this week’s lab include: 1) Review anatomical terminology‚ 2) Demonstrate metric conversion knowledge‚ and 3) Review the concepts of genetic inheritance and demonstrate knowledge of the inheritance patterns of dominant and recessive alleles through a human pedigree analysis. Overview Understanding and proper use of anatomical terminology is

generation • Leading to the law of segregation o Alternative versions of genes (alleles) account for variations in inherited characteristics. o For each character‚ an organism inherits 2 alleles‚ one from each parent. o If the two alleles differ‚ then one‚ the dominant allele‚ is fully expressed in the organism’s appearance‚ the other‚ the recessive allele‚ has no noticeable affect on the organism’s appearance. o The alleles for each character segregate (separate) during gamete production (meiosis)

your conclusion using evidence from the pedigree and the principles of genetics. Cystic Fibrosis is a recessive trait. You have to inherit two copies of the allele to have cystic fibrosis. If you have just one of these alleles you could be a carrier of cystic fibrosis‚ but have absolutely no symptoms. If two carriers of this allele have a child then there could be a one in four chance that child would have cystic fibrosis. I made my conclusion by using the evidence to see that from the pedigree
