1
New cards
Epistasis
________: one gene affects another because the gene products are related.
2
New cards
Codominance
________: This is where both alleles are EQUALLY EXPRESSED.
3
New cards
Peas
________ were good because they were simple, had clear variation, a short generation time and produced many offspring.
4
New cards
Quantitative Characters
________: traits that are not A or B, rather they exist as a gradient.
5
New cards
Monohybrid
________: organisms that are heterozygous for ONE trait.
6
New cards
Dihybrid
________: organisms that are heterozygous for TWO traits.
7
New cards
Alleles
________ arise from slight differences in the nucleotide sequences at a locus.
8
New cards
Mendel
________ crossed for many generations and used large sample sizes.
9
New cards
Genotypes
What are most commonly associated with a range of phenotypes, not typically a single phenotype? Answer with a single words or term.
10
New cards
Inheritance patterns
________ are often more complex than predicted by simple Mendelian genetics.
11
New cards
Polygenic Inheritance
________: multiple genes independently affect a single trait.
12
New cards
Probability laws
________ govern Mendelian inheritance.
13
New cards
Law of Segregation
________: Two alleles from gametogenesis separate into different gametes.
14
New cards
Mendel
________ used the scientific approach to identify two laws of inheritance.
15
New cards
Mendel
________ used true- breeding parents (they produced the same trait over many generations) and controlled flower fertilization.
