1 Gene 2 Law of Independent Assortment
3 "w" 4 Mendelian inheritance
Don't know?
Terms in this set (72)
Gene basic unit of inheritance
segments of dna
relatively short segments of chromosomes
, Chromosomes long strands of DNA and associated proteins in the
nucleus of the cell
present in pairs- one from sire, one from dam
number of pairs depends on the species
Homologs pair of chromosomes having corresponding loci
Locus the specific location of a gene on a chromosome
Mendelian inheritance At each locus, there is a pair of genes
one on the maternal chromosome and one on the
paternal chromosome
The gene at a locus are denoted by a single letter
or combination of letters and/or symbols
Allele an alternate form of a gene
Multiple alleles more than two possible alleles at a locus
the combination of genes at a genotype
particular locus is called
Homozygous a one-locus genotype containing functionally
identical genes
Heterozygous a lone-locus genotype containing functionally
different genes
Law of Segregation Mendel's First Law
in the formation of a germ cell or gamete, the two
genes at a locus in the parent cell are separated,
only one gene being incorporated into each germ
cell
