Gene Interaction Review

Unit 8B

What is the difference between a genotype and a phenotype?

Genotype is the alleles that are paired.Phenotype is the physical trait that is

expressed. Example: Aa would be a genotype while

free earlobes would be a phenotype.

Are blue eyes a genotype or phenotype?

phenotype

What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous?

Homozygous is the pairing of two alleles that are the same. Ex. AA, aa

Heterozygous is the pairing of two alleles that are different. Ex. Aa

Free earlobes are dominant over attached lobes. Cross a heterozyous person with a person who has attached lobes. What percentage of the offspring would have attached earlobes?

50% A a

a Aa aa

a Aa aa

Free earlobes are dominant over attached lobes. Cross a heterozyous person with a person who has attached lobes. What is the genotypic ratio of the offspring?

Aa:aa 1:1

What is the difference between a monohybrid and dihybrid cross?

Monohybrid involves one trait. Ex. AaxaaDihybrid involves two traits. Ex.

AaCcxAAcc

Body evidence containing DNA (fluids,etc.) are analyzed using electrophoresis and some of the DNA is matched to the DNA of a crime suspect.

DNA fingerprinting.Can also be used to determine paternity

of a child.

How many squares would the Punnett square for the following cross have? AaBbxAaBb

16It is a dihybrid cross.

Diagnosing disease by staining, arranging and comparing chromosomes according to staining patterns, size and shape. What is this called.

Chromosomal analysisA karyotype is a picture of the

chromosomes that can be used for analysis.

What is the function of mitois?

Mitosis produces 2 diploid daughter cells, each with a full set (diploid) of chromosomes. Ex. Skin cells, liver cells.

What is the function of meiosis?

Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells that have half (haploid) the number of chromosomes of a normal body cell. Ex. Germ cells like sperm and ova.

Meiosis occurs in the reproductive structures of the organism.

How many squares are required for a Punnett square of this cross?AAxaa

4It is a monohybrid cross.

When chromotid pairs exchange genes during meiosis it is called…

Crossing over.Crossing over increases the genetic

variability of the offspring.

How many times does DNA replication occur in meiosis? Mitosis?

Once in both

How many times does cell division occur in meiosis? Mitosis?

twiceonce

In humans, free earlobes are dominant over attached lobes and dark hair is dominant over light hair. Cross a person who is homozygous for free lobes and dark hair with a person who is heterozygous for lobes and hair color. What are the genotypic and phenotypic percentages of the offspring.

In cats, coat color is determined by a sex linked trait. Black and orange coat color are codominant. A cat with both colors produces a multicolored pattern called calico. Cross a heterozygous female with a male who is orange. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring? Why can’t males be calico?

B-black R- orange XB XR XR XBXR XBXR Y XBY XRYXBXR- 50% Calico femalesXBY- 25% Black malesXRY- 25% Orange malesMales cannot be calico because they only inherit one X and

the coat color trait is not located on the Y chromosome.

Recessive traits can skip a generation. Describe the parent cross that would not express the recessive trait in it’s phenotype but would express it in the next generation.
