ANTA01H3 Midterm: Midterm Study Guide
Document Summary
Genetics traits aren"t passed by one parent instead its a package of genes from both parents. Package of information = genes (acquired at conception) Alleles: whole set of different forms for a given gene. Expressed allele: visble trait (dominant genes - always expressed, recessive genes - overpowered by dominant genes) Genetic makeup contains an allele from each parent. Dominant genes don"t have dominance over recessive ones in meiosis. Genotype = all genes (dna and genetic structure) Co-dominant genes = genes that blend together. Genetic flow - the transfer of alleles from one population to another. Genetic drift - survival of the fittest. Study of human history & prehistory through the excavation of sites and the analyssi if artefacts. History vs. prehistory: history is recorded, prehistory is before writing. Monumental archaeology: ex. angkor watt in cambodia or pyramids. big complex structures. Paleolithic or cave archaeology: origins of humans. Homo floresiensis: hobbits. a meter tall. indonesia. fully developed brains.
