Crossing-over
|
Crossng over occurs during meiosis, homologous chromosomes form a tetrad, chromatids cross over one another, the crossed sections of the chromatids are exchanged.
|
Codominance
|
Both alleles contibute to the phenotype
|
Probability
|
The likelyhood that a particular enent will occur.
|
Alleles
|
Different forms of genes. (tall & short plant for example)
|
Meiosis
|
Process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologus chromosomes
|
Haploid
|
A cell that contains one set of chromosomes
|
Tetrad
|
Structure formed by corresponding homologous chromosomes. There are 4 chromatids in a tetrad.
|
Genotype
|
Genetic makeup
|
Multiple Alleles
|
Genes having more than alleles
|
Genes
|
The chemical factors that determine traits.
|
Polygenic Traits
|
Having many genes
|
Segregation
|
Separation (of alleles)
|
Phenotype
|
Physical look of a gene
|
Punnett Square
|
Diagrams used to predict and compare genetic variations resulting from a cross.
|
Homologus Chromosomes
|
Four chromosomes from one parent having a cooresponding chromosome from the other parent.
