Genetics and Genetic Engineering
Who is the father of genetics? - Gregor Mendel
What are alleles? - One or more alternate versions of a gene or genes
How many alleles does an individual receive for one gene? - 2 alleles, 1 from each parent
What is a genotype? - An organisms genetic make-up
What is a homozygous genotype? - When alleles are the same
What is a heterozygous genotype? - When alleles are different
Which allele shows up if the genotype is heterozygous, Dominant or Recessive? - Dominant, since
recessive stays 'covered up' by the dominant
What is an organism's phenotype? - Their physical appearance
What are Mendel's 2 laws? - 1. Law of Segregation
2. Law of Independent Assortment
What is the law of segregation? - alleles separate when gametes form
What is the law of independent assortment? - alleles for each gene separate independently of alleles
for other genes
