rule of multiplication
multiply probabilities of each event. Only if the events can happen simultaneously
codominance
brown+white= brown and white
incomplete dominance
white+red=pink
yay sachs disease
recessive
pleiotropy
single gene effects a lot
environment impact
sun=tan skin
nutrition=taller, stronger
x inactivation
x chromosome is inactivated. causes calico cats
chi squared formula
(o-e)^2/e
if chi squared is larger than p value then
it does not support the null hypothesis
null hypothesis
what you would expect
degrees of freedom
number of phenotypic possibilities minus one
map distance
how close genes are together. The closer the more likely they are to be expressed together. red hair and freckles
autosome vs sex linked
a- both male and female
sex- usually either or
how to tell how far apart two genes are from a chart
find the mean
environment does what
only changes genotyping expression not actual genes
nondisjunction
chromosome has failed to separate
barr body
inactive x chromosome
who determines sex of offspring
males
recombination frequency
recombinants/ total x100
parental vs recombinants
like parents and unlike parents
down syndrome is caused by
nondisjunction
mitosis is used for
cell duplication for healing- exact duplicates
