A | B |
coat color in rabbits | controlled by multiple alleles |
trait expressed by many phenotypes | controlled by many genes on many chromosomes (polygenic) |
linked genes | genes found on same chromosome |
red cow x white bull ----> roan | co-dominant trait |
red flowers x white flowers --->pink flowers | incomplete dominance |
phenotype that will survive exposure to malaria | Carrier for sickle cell disease |
gene maps are based on | frequency of crossing over between linked genes |
the farther apart two genes are located on a chromosome | the less likely the genes will be inherited together |
Another genotype for A blood besides AA | AO |
genotype of Black lab dog | EeBb |
genotype of yellow lab dog | eeBb |
coat color in lab dogs controlled by | two genes and 4 alleles |
offspring of cross between blood type A x blood type B | A, B, AB, O |
X-linked trait | expressed more in males |
# of alleles controlling fur color in rabbits | four |
hemophilia | blood clots won't form |
Studied genetics of fruit flies to earn Nobel prize | Thomas Morgan |
co-dominant | alleles are equally dominant, both traits are expressed |
incomplete dominance | neither allele is dominant, a blending of phenotypes |
multiple alleles | trait controlled by 3 or more alleles for one gene |
