MA+Chromosome+HW+2

(1) Define: (2) What is the difference between genotype and phenotype? (3) What are the three possible genotypes and two possible phenotypes for a characteristic that is controlled by two alleles, one being dominant and the other recessive? (4) For each of the following genotypes, give all the possible gametes. (5) For each of the following, state whether a genotype or a gamete is represented. (6) What is the genotype of the individual from the following crosses? (7) Define (8) A man with a wiidow's peak has a mother witha a straight hairline. Widow's peak (W) is dominant over straight hairline (w). What is the genotype of the man? (9) Both a man and a woman are heterozygous for freckles. Freckles (F) are dominant over no freckles (f). What is the chance that their child will have freckles? (10) Both you and your sister or brother have attached earlobes, yet your parents have unattached earlobes. Unattached earlobes (E) are dominant over attached earlobes (e) What are the genotypes of your parents?
 * genotype: two specific alleles for a particular gene written with symbols //EE or Ee or ee//
 * alleles: alternate forms of a specific gene at the same position (locus) of a gene (e.g. allele for unattached earlobes and attached lobes); alleles usually occur in pairs //E or e//
 * dominant allele: will be expressed and will mask a recessive gene (Ee--unattached ears is dominant)
 * recessive allele: allele that is only expressed when a gene has two of this type of allele (ee)
 * locus: the location of the gene on the chromosome
 * homozygous dominant: two dominant alleles
 * phenotype: physical characteristics of alleles(attached ears for E)
 * homozygous recessive: 2 recessive alleles
 * heterozygous: one dominant allele and one recessive allele
 * Phenotype is the physical characteristic while genotype is the genetic term
 * EE, Ee, ee
 * EE=dominant
 * ee=recessive
 * WW=W
 * WWSs=WS and Ws
 * Tt=T and t
 * Ttgg=Tg and tg
 * AaBb=AB, Ab, aB, and ab
 * D=gamete
 * Ll=genotype
 * Pw=gamete
 * LlGg=genotype
 * ES x es=EeSs
 * eS x es=eeSs
 * monohybrid: a cross for one trait
 * Punnett square: a chart that lists every possible combination of the mother and father's sperm and egg combinations
 * Ww(the dad is WW mom is ww)
 * 75% chance their child will have freckles
 * Ee
