What is the genotype?
Genetic makeup/ constitution of an organism describing all the alleles that an organism contains
1 of 34
What does it set?
Limits within which the characteristics of an individual may vary
2 of 34
What is any change to the genotype as a result of a change to the DNA?
A mutation
3 of 34
How may it be inherited ?
If it occurs in the formation of gametes
4 of 34
What is the phenotype
Expression of this genetic constitution (genotype) and its interaction with the environment
5 of 34
What is it then
Observable characteristics of an organism
6 of 34
What can alter an organisms appearance
Environment
7 of 34
What is any change to the phenotype that doesn't affect genotype and isn't inherited by future generations?
Modification
8 of 34
What is a gene
Section of DNA that is a sequence of nucleotide bases usually determining a single characteristic of an organism
9 of 34
How does it do it
Coding for particular polypeptides that are needed in the biochemical pathway that leads to the production of the characteristic
10 of 34
What does gene exist in
2 or occasionally more different forms called alleles
11 of 34
What may there be
Many alleles of a single gene
12 of 34
What can they be
Dominant, recessive or co-dominant
13 of 34
What is the locus?
Position of a gene on a chromosome
14 of 34
In most cases if 2 alleles in the genotype are different what happens?
Only 1 shows itself in the phenotype
15 of 34
What is allele that shows itself or is expressed said to be
Dominant
16 of 34
What is dominant gene always represented by
Capital form of letter
17 of 34
What is allele that isn't expressed said to be
Recessive - represent with lowercase letter
18 of 34
What is a homozygous organism with 2 dominant alleles called
Homozygous dominant
19 of 34
What is 2 recessive alleles
Homozygous recessive
20 of 34
When is effect only seen in phenotype of a diploid organism
Only when it occurs in presence of an identical allele
21 of 34
When gametes (Sex cells) are produced what are they?
Haploid (only have half of DNA)
22 of 34
What it will therefore only contain
1 allele of the gene
23 of 34
So how many from each parent will be passed onto their offspring
1
24 of 34
What will diploid then contain
2 alleles of each gene
25 of 34
What is CF
recessive
26 of 34
What is polydactyl
Dominant
27 of 34
What is Chi squared
Determining whether experimentally determined data fits results expected from theory
28 of 34
What type of test
Goodness of fit
29 of 34
Calc
Sum of (O-E)^2/E
30 of 34
What do you use
Number of individuals
31 of 34
DOF?
Number independent random variables involved -1
32 of 34
or
Number of classes of offspring -1
33 of 34
When do you reject null
If calculated chi squared value exceeds critical value
34 of 34
