Non-Mendelian and Mendelian Genetics Flashcard

Front

What are Multiple Alleles?

Back

When two or more alleles for a trait exist in a population, such as different hair colors or blood types.

Front

What is the probability of getting Bb when crossing bb with BB in a Punnett Square?

Back

100%.

Front

In a Punnett Square, if T = tall and t = short, what is the missing genotype if one square is tt?

Back

tt.

Front

What is Incomplete Dominance?

Back

A type of inheritance pattern where the phenotype is a mixture of both traits, resembling the old theory of blending.

Front

What is Co-Dominance?

Back

A type of inheritance pattern that shows both traits in possible offspring.

Front

What is Mendelian Genetics?

Back

The study of how traits are inherited through generations based on the principles established by Gregor Mendel.

Front

What is a Punnett Square?

Back

A diagram used to predict the outcome of a genetic cross by showing the possible combinations of alleles.

Front

What is the difference between Dominant and Recessive alleles?

Back

Dominant alleles mask the effect of recessive alleles in heterozygous conditions.

Front

What does Homozygous mean?

Back

Having two identical alleles for a particular gene, such as AA or aa.

Front

What does Heterozygous mean?

Back

Having two different alleles for a particular gene, such as Aa.
