Shadwick POB UARK Chapter 29 Exam
Latest Update Actual Questions and
Answers with complete solutions
Mendel's Law of Segregation
Alleles segregate from one another during the formation of gametes.
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment
the inheritance of one character has no effect on the inheritance of another
Allele
Different forms of a gene/ Traits
What is the difference between Phenotype and Genotype?
Phenotype is what you literaly look like and Genotype is your actual genetic coding
Pedigree
A diagram that shows the occurrence of a genetic trait in several generations of a
family.
The Pedigree shown here means that
The trait being traced is recessive
Tay-Sachs disease is...
autosomal 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
, Autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by excessively thick mucus in the
lungs. Chloride ion channel defective due to mutation.
incomplete dominance
Situation in which one allele is not completely dominant over another allele- red
flower+white flower=pink flower
sickle cell anemia
Autosomal recessive genetic disorder characterized by not enough hemogolbin in blood
cells, sickle shaped blood cells
Huntington's disease
autosomal dominant condition characterized by forgetfulness and irritability by the
degradation of nerve cells in the brain. It is a Prion disease
Codominance
A 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?
polygenic
polygenic
trait controlled by two or more genes
Blood Types
classified according to the presence, or absence, of certain antigens; four major blood
types are A, AB, B, and O
True/False: AB blood (mom) and B (dad) could have an O-type baby
F
