Chapter 16 - Genetics
DNA
mutations
replication
Somatic mutation
caused by mutagens
chemical
biological
insertion mutagen
Repair process
Genetic testing types
monohybrid cross (only studies one gene individually)
complete dominance
incomplete dominance
MOM: Homozygous (white recessive) ww
DAD: homozygous (Red Dominant) Rr
Punnett squares!!
MOM: Homozygous (white recessive) ww
DAD: homozygous (Red Dominant) Rr
Baby #1: Heterozygous (Red Dominant) Rw
Baby #2: Heterozygous (white recessive) rw
Baby: heterozygus blend (red with white) Rw
Dihybrid cross
(studies two genes simultaneously)
Results depend on:
Dependent on if they are on different chromosomes or the same one
dependent on the position of genes on the chromosome
Dihybrid cross
Monohybrid cross
Genetic inheritance
depends on dominance/recessiveness
depends on Quantitative Trait Loci
depends on type of inheritance
Lethal mutations
Usually kill the plant
can be difficult to detect if it's effect is early
maternal inheritance
(uni-parental inheritance)
bi-parental inheritance
Can die before fertilization
