BIOB11H3 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Punnett Square, Chromosome Segregation, Gynoecium
Document Summary
In 2018 many genomes are completely sequenced and can be done quickly: human genomes are 3x 10 ^9 bp, and now take a day to do, bioinformatics/computational genomics. Diploid: most organisms are this, there are two copies of each gene and chromosome. Allele: alternative forms of the same gene. Genotype: the genetic composition of the organism. Phenotype: the observable traits or morphology of seeds, based on which trait is dominant. Homozygous: when both alleles are the same (dominant or recessive, wildtype the homozygous dominant, the most prominent in the population, purebred for dominant phenotype, nulls homozygous recessive. Biob11: molecular cellular and genetic practical winter 2018: this is generally associated with a mutant trait, pure breeding that gives rise to the recessive/mutant trait. Heterozygous: when the alleles are different (dominant and recessive, not pure breeding, the next generation can have both phenotypes.
