Genetics
Alleles
-
Ex: Eye colors: brown, green, grey, blue
-
Recessive Traits
-
-
A trait only shown when inherited by both parents, and can be covered by a dominant trait.
-
Phenotype
-
-
In the image, one genotype is "Rr." In this case the phenotype is "R" because it is expressed.
Genotype
-
The Punnet Square shows the probability of the offspring's genotype. These are the possible genes that can be inherited.
The genes an organism inherits in all, or the alleles inherited by the offspring
Gregor Mendel
-
-
An Austrian monk and scientist. He discovered and studied heredity using pea plants, as well as using principles of math to further understand heredity.
Punnet Squares
-
The square uses the alleles inherited by the parents and puts it in the squares to show the probability of the gene that will be inherited.
-
Reproduction
Asexual
-
Ex: Budding, Fragmentation, Sporing, Binary Fission, Clonig
When reproduction comes about with out the use of gametes. The offspring is genetically identical. there are many forms of asexual reproduction
sexual
-
-
Reproduction that occurs when gametes are combined, and when a female gamete is fertilized by a male gamete. The offspring is genetically diverse and are not identical
Questions
What is the significance of genetics, and how can people in the medical field apply it to their jobs?
Are hereditary causes of illness like diabetes and schizophrenia related to genetics? (Is there a sole gene that is highly influential to the cause of a certain disease?)
