Terms Used in Modern Genetics Heredity- characteristics passing from parents to offspring through genes Heredity- characteristics passing from parents to offspring through genes Genes Genes Each gene has a specific locus on a chromosome Each gene has a specific locus on a chromosome Heterozygous (Aa or Bb) Heterozygous (Aa or Bb) Homomzygous (AA or BB) Homomzygous (AA or BB)

8. Genetics An allele is dominant if its effect masks the effect of a recessive allele paired with it An allele is dominant if its effect masks the effect of a recessive allele paired with it

11. Mendel’s Law of Segregation Only one of the 2 alleles gets put into each gamete Only one of the 2 alleles gets put into each gamete

21. Dihybrid Cross 2 loci 2 loci AABB x aabb AABB x aabb F 2 phenotype ratio is 9:3:3:1 F 2 phenotype ratio is 9:3:3:1

22. Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment Mendel’s law of independent assortment Mendel’s law of independent assortment One trait does not influence the inheritance of the other One trait does not influence the inheritance of the other Exception: linked genes Exception: linked genes

26. Codominance Two nonidentical alleles of a gene are both fully expressed in heterozygotes, so neither is dominant or recessive Two nonidentical alleles of a gene are both fully expressed in heterozygotes, so neither is dominant or recessive Multiple allele systems Multiple allele systems

27. Incomplete Dominance One allele is not fully dominant over its partner One allele is not fully dominant over its partner

28. Epistasis Epistasis Epistasis Two or more gene products influence a trait Two or more gene products influence a trait Typically, one gene product suppresses the effect of another Typically, one gene product suppresses the effect of another

29. Epistasis in Coat Colors

30. Pleiotropy Pleiotropy Pleiotropy One gene product influences two or more traits One gene product influences two or more traits Example: Marfan syndrome Example: Marfan syndrome
