Study Notes
Chromosome Types
- Autosomes are chromosomes that have the same gene for a particular trait.
- Homologous chromosomes have genes that occupy the same position.
Gene Interactions
- Co-dominance is the type of gene interaction that results in an intermediate phenotype.
- Co-dominance is a condition where two alleles are both fully expressed.
Genotype and Phenotype
- Homozygous individuals have two identical alleles for a particular trait.
- Heterozygous individuals have two different genes for a particular trait on homologous chromosomes.
Blood Type Genetics
- The genotype AA or AO represents a homozygous individual with blood type A.
- The genotype AB represents a heterozygous individual with blood type AB.
- The genotype OO represents a homozygous individual with blood type O.
- If a person inherits the genotype AaBB, their phenotype would be blood type AB.
X-Linked Recessive Traits
- The genotype XrXr represents a person affected by red-green color blindness, an X-linked recessive trait.
Cross-Breeding Probabilities
- The genotypic and phenotypic probabilities of crossing two roans depend on the genotype of the parents.
- Crossing a homozygous dominant yellow gumamela (YY) with a homozygous dominant red gumamela (RR) results in offspring with a yellow-red mixture phenotype.
- Crossing a homozygous dominant black rabbit (BB) with a homozygous recessive white rabbit (ww) results in offspring with a black phenotype.
