True Breeding - crossing like phenotypes produces the comman phenotype (AA x AA = AA)
Discrestness - Genetic factors are discrete and maintain their identity
Law of Segregation - One one trait is passed to the offspring from parents
Law of Assortment - the alleles of two seperate genes get sorted into gametes independently
Gene - unit of instructions carrying the information for a heritable trait (ex. color)
Allele - physical form of the gene (ex. purple)
Locus - physical location of the gene (pedals)
Genotype - Combination of allels in a given individual (Ab, AB, etc)
Homozygote - individual with two copies of the same allele for a gene (AA or aa)
Heterozygote - an individual with different allelles for a gene (Aa)
Dominant Allele - allele that mask all other alleles in the gene
Ressesive allele - The allele that is masked by the dominant allele
, Codominate Allele - alleles that are each expressed in the gene
Particulate inheritance - heredity elements are passes on in discrete units rather than blended together
Blended inheritance - the offspring will be intermidiate between the parents
Ratio of gene type - 3:1 (dom. : rec)
Mendel's Factors are really - Chromosomes
The cell cycle - the sequence of events that takes place of one round of cell division to the end of the
next
Binary Fission - division process of prokaryotes
Mitosis - multicellular development in body cells; goes through M-phase once creating 2 daughter cells
Meiosis - multicellular development in germ cells; goes through M-phase twice creating 4 daugter cells
Sister chromosomes - identical except mutations; comes from the copying process
Homologous Chromosomes - Same gene, different allele; Come from the parent
Which phase do cells spend the more time - interphase (G1, S, G2)
Which phase of the eukaryote cell cycle is visable - M phase
What are chromosomes made of? - Chromaids
