Alleles used for phenotype & molecular variation Genetic Redundancy & Robustness a given function encoded by 2 or more genes persistence of a character/trait in conditions of uncertainty Gene Products biochemical material (proteins/functional RNA) Alternative Splicing regulated process during gene expression that results in a single gene coding for multiple proteins Base Substitution replacement of a single nucleotide in a nucleic acid that can be silent due to "degeneracy" of DNA, in which multiple codons encode the same amino acid Insertion/Deletion extra base pairs are inserted into a new area within DNA/mutation where a section of DNA is lost or deleted Copy Number Variation phenomenon in which sections of the genome are repeated and the number of repeats in the genome varies betwen individuals in the human population Hox Genes Homeobox genes- group of genes that specify the "position" in which characteristics will be formed on an embryo True Breeding Organisms that, when reproducing, create offspring who carry the same traits. Law of Segregation F1 only gives one of its alleles to F2 Heterozygous Having 2 different alleles for one trait (Dd) Simple Traits trait that arises from a single gene Complex Traits traits do not behave to simple Mendalian inheritance laws and can't be explained by the genetic segregation of a single gene Dominant/Recessive Phenotype that appears in F1/Phenotype that is masked in F1
