Biology
Genotype is the genetic composition of an organism.
Phenotype is the set of characteristic manifested by an organism.
An individual has a heterozygous condition if he has 2 different alleles of the same gene
An individual has a homozygous condition if he has 2 identical alleles of the same gene.
Codominance is a genetic interaction where the codominant alleles of a gene express themselves equally in the phenotype
Dominance is a genetic interaction where 1 allele of a gene masks the expression of another allele in the heterozygote.
Locus is the position of a gene in a DNA molecule of a chromosome
A gene is the functional unit of inheritance
An allele is an alternative form of a gene.
- Allele Vs. Gene
How are alleles and genes different? And how do they correspond with each other? Alleles are pairs of genes and help code for an organism. Genes come from the parent organisms in order to help with the make up of an organism. There are...
- A Locus May Have Many Different Mutant Alleles
KEY TERMS:A locus is said to have multiple alleles when more than two allelic forms have been found. Each allele may cause a different phenotype. KEY CONCEPTS: The existence of multiple alleles allows heterozygotes to occur representing any pairwise...
- Mutations In The Same Gene Cannot Complement
KEY TERMS:A complementation test determines whether two mutations are alleles of the same gene. It is accomplished by crossing two different recessive mutations that have the same phenotype and determining whether the wild-type phenotype can be produced....
- A Gene Codes For A Single Polypeptide
KEY TERMS:A homomultimer is a protein composed of identical subunits. A heteromultimer is a protein that is composed of nonidentical subunits (coded by different genes). KEY CONCEPTS: The one gene : one enzyme hypothesis summarizes the basis of modern...
