BIO207H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Peptide, Transferase, Red Blood Cell
Document Summary
All midterm questions were from quiz and tutorial, marks should show by the end of the week. Proposed and tested law of segregation and law of independent assortment. Chromosome journey during cell division & meiosis understood. Mendel"s law in relation to cell division & meiosis understood - also, gametes can combine in different ways with equal probability. Mendel"s success in identifying 1st and 2nd law: start with simplest case scenarios only. More than 2 alleles for a given locus -> allelic series. Dominance may not be complete - we always have intermediate traits. More than 2 genes for a single trait - very frequent. Gene x environment interaction - under certain conditions -> can have different expressions. Remember: phenotype is consequence - of activities - of protein products - of alleles - No functional gene product (not produced or not functioning well i. e. structure) Case - non-lethal: duplication/redundancy - same protein produced by another gene.
