Mendelian Genetics
DNA - deoxyribonucleic acid, holds genetic information
gene - seuence of DNA that determines structure of a !rotein
hetero"ygous alleles - 2 different alleles for the same gene
homo"ygous alleles - the same alleles for the same gene
hetero"ygous dominant - having 2 different alleles for the same gene, dominant !henoty!e eg# Aa
homo"ygous recessive - having 2 of the same recessive allele for the same gene,recessive !henoty!e eg#
aa
homo"ygous dominant - having 2 of the same dominant allele for the same gene, dominant !henoty!e
eg# AA
codominance - both alleles are ex!ressed $hetero"ygous individual%, no mas&ing effect eg# blood ty!e
incom!lete dominance - !henoty!e is a blend $hetero"ygous individual% eg# red flower ' white flower (
!in& flower
random assortment -
!henoty!e - observable traits of an organism
genoty!e - genes)alleles of an individual
meiosis - division of cell to !roduce * daughter cells $gametes% with half the number of chromosomes of
the !arent cell, !roduces eggs)s!erm in organisms that re!roduce sexually
mitosis - division of cell to !roduce 2 daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as !arent cell,
daughter cells are genetically identical to !arents, !roduces body cells $somatic%
