Galton's conditions for domestication
shold be hardy, inborn liking for man, comfort-loving useful to the savages, breed freely & easy to tend

animal genetic definition
study of inheritance in animals
9 of 30
gene
the basic physical unit of heredity consisting of a DNA sequence and a specific location on a chromosome
10 of 30
locus
the specific location of a gene on a chromosome
11 of 30
allele
the alternative form of a gene
12 of 30
Karyotype
is an organized profile of a person's chromosomes. In a karyotype, chromosomes are arranged and numbered by size, from largest to smalles
13 of 30
genotype
the combination of genes at a single locus or a number of loci
14 of 30
homozygote
a one-locus genotype containing functionally identical genes
15 of 30
heterozygote
a one-locus genotype containing functionally different genes
16 of 30
mitosos forms
two daughter cells
17 of 30
meiosis forms
4 genetically different gametes
18 of 30
meiosis divides
twice
19 of 30
mitosis divides
once
20 of 30
types of mutation in dna
chromosomal and gene/point
21 of 30
additive gene action / co-dominance
performance of heterozygous animals is exactly intermediate of the two homozygous types
22 of 30
complete dominance
a form of dominance in which the expression of the heterozygote is identical to the expression of the homozygous dominant genotype
23 of 30
Partial dominance
when the effect of one allele is partially but not completely masked by the presence of another allele
24 of 30
over dominance
when heterozygotes show more extreme performance than either homozygote
25 of 30
sex-linked genes
genes located on the sex chromosomes rather than the autosomes
26 of 30
sex-limited gene
trait is only shown in one sex - e.g. milk production
27 of 30
sex influenced genes
e.g. sheep breeds males are forned, femals are polled
28 of 30
genomic imprinting
effects of a particular genotype or appearance of function depend on which parent contributed each allele
29 of 30
Epistasis
presence of an allele on one ocus influences the effect of an allele at a different locus
