Fundamentals of Genetics Review
Definitions 100
• The field of Biology devoted to understanding how characteristics are transmitted from parents to offspring.
Definitions 100
•Genetics
Definitions 100
•When pollen grains from the male part of the flower are transferred to the female part of the flower
Definitions 100
•Pollination
Definitions 100
•The fertilized egg cell
Definitions 100
•zygote
Definitions 100
•A segment of DNA on a chromosome that controls a particular hereditary trait
Definitions 100
•gene
Definitions 100
•The appearance of an organism due to its genotype
Definitions 100
•phenotype
Definitions 100
•Alternative forms of the same gene
Definitions 100
•alleles
Definitions 100
•Describes a genotype where the two alleles for the gene are different
Definitions 100
•Heterozygous
Definitions 100
•Mendel’s Law that says that during gamete formation, the two parental alleles for a gene separate and go into different gametes
Definitions 100
•The Law of Segregation
Definitions 100
• Type of dominance relationship where the heterozygotes have a phenotype that is intermediate between the homozygous phenotypes
Definitions 100
•Incomplete Dominance
Definitions 100
•A dominantly inherited trait that results in short stature.
Definitions 100
•Achondroplasia
Definitions 100
•Mendel’s Law that states that each gene segregates independently of the other genes in gamete formation
Definitions 100
•The Law of Independent Assortment
Genetics Problems 200
• In pea plants, tall is dominant to short. What is the phenotypic ratio predicted from the following cross?• Tt X tt
Genetics Problems 200
• ½ tall• ½ short• Or 1:1 ratio of tall to
short
Genetics Problems 200
• In pea plants, tall is dominant to short. What is the phenotypic ratio predicted from the following cross?• Tt X Tt
Genetics Problems 200
•¾ tall•¼ short•Or 3:1 ratio of tall to short
Genetics Problems 200
• In pea plants, tall is dominant to short. What is the genotypic ratio predicted from the following cross?• Tt X Tt
Genetics Problems 200• ¼ homozygous dominant• ½ heterozygous• ¼ homozygous recessive• Or 1 homo dom: 2
hetero: 1 homo rec
Genetics Problems 300• In guinea pigs, short hair is
dominant to long. You have a momma guinea pig (Ss) and a dadda guinea pig (ss) and you plan on letting them breed until they have 30 babies.
• How many of the babies are expected to have long hair?
Genetics Problems 300
•15
Genetics Problems 400• A mama oobley boobley bird
who is yellow mates with a papa oobley boobley bird who is blue. Their baby birds have some feathers that are blue and some feathers that are yellow.
• What kind of dominance relationship is this?
Genetics Problems 400
•Codominance
Genetics Problems 400• In fruit flies, normal wing shape (V) is
dominant to vestigial (v) and grey body (G) is dominant to black body (g).
• You do a cross between the following individuals:
• Female: VVGg• Male: Vvgg• What are the possible gametes that can
be formed for both the female and the male?
Genetics Problems 400
•Female: VG, Vg•Male: Vg, vg
Genetics Problems 500• A tomato plant with yellow
flowers is crossed with a tomato plant with red flowers. The offspring (F1 generation) all have orange flowers.
• What phenotypic ratios do you expect in the F2 generation?
Genetics Problems 500
• ¼ yellow flowers• ½ orange flowers• ¼ red flowers• Or 1 yellow: 2 orange:
1 red
Genetics Problems 500• In guinea pigs, black hair color
(B) is dominant to brown (b). Short hair (S) is dominant to long (s).
• What are the phenotypic ratios predicted from the following cross?
• BBSs X bbSs
Genetics Problems 500
•¾ black, short hair•¼ black, long hair•Or 3 black, short: 1
black, long
Genetics Problems 500
• A man with type A blood marries and woman who is type B.•What are the possible
genotypes of their kids?
Genetics Problems 500
