POB SHADWICK UARK EXAM 3 2025
LATEST UPDATE
Mendel's Law of Segregation - ANSWERAlleles segregate from one another during the
formation of gametes.
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment - ANSWERthe inheritance of one character
has no effect on the inheritance of another
Allele - ANSWERDifferent forms of a gene/ Traits
What is the difference between Phenotype and Genotype? - ANSWERPhenotype is
what you literaly look like and Genotype is your actual genetic coding
Pedigree - ANSWERA diagram that shows the occurrence of a genetic trait in several
generations of a family.
The Pedigree shown here means that - ANSWERThe trait being traced is recessive
Tay-Sachs disease is... - ANSWERautosomal recessive genetic disorder that results in
a deficiency in the enzyme hexosaminidase A; causes an accumulation of glycolipids in
the lysosomes, resulting in a progressive loss of psychomotor functions
cystic fibrosis - ANSWERAutosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by
excessively thick mucus in the lungs. Chloride ion channel defective due to mutation.
incomplete dominance - ANSWERSituation in which one allele is not completely
dominant over another allele- red flower+white flower=pink flower
sickle cell anemia - ANSWERAutosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by
not enough hemogolbin in blood cells, sickle shaped blood cells
Huntington's disease - ANSWERautosomal dominant condition characterized by
forgetfulness and irritability by the degradation of nerve cells in the brain. It is a Prion
disease
Codominance - ANSWERA condition in which both alleles for a gene are fully
expressed ex- pink+red flowers= red flower with pink stripes
Height and body part sizes are best described as? - ANSWERpolygenic
polygenic - ANSWERtrait controlled by two or more genes
