Document Summary

- the interaction that occurs btw the gene and the environment. Genetics = in broadest sense is modeling the inheritance of a phenotype. Many aspects of biology influence the ability of a phenotype to be transmitted from parent to offspring. Genotype = the genetic constitution of an individual in terms of alleles at a specific gene or across a series of genes. Phenotype = observable characters in an individual that arise from the genotype. Phenotype is the result of the genotype, the environment to which the individual exposed, Gene = not an allele, (cid:498)wild type(cid:499) or (cid:498)reference(cid:499) allele, (cid:498)short hair(cid:499) allele etc. 1 gene can have 4 alleles or phenotypes. = heritable differences in genome constitution that result in observable difference in phenotypes. = the sequence of dna that is transcribed into an mrna molecule, which is then translocated into a protein. In plants, genes are found in 3 cellular locations = nucleus, mitochondria and plastids (chloroplast, amyloplast)
