Pleiotropy   show
🗑
Cases where Mendelian genetics don’t determine frequency of a characteristic   show
🗑
Alleles   show
🗑
show When a single functional (wild-type) allele of a heterozygous gene in a diploid organism provides enough protein to fulfil its purpose in the body  
🗑
Haploinsufficiency   show
🗑
show Specific alleles carried by individuals in a population which, when expressed, provides their phenotypic traits  
🗑
show Wild type allele is usually dominant to non-functional allele since in many cases reactions can still take place with reduced concentration of proteins, usually enzymes since they're catalysts - haplosufficiency  
🗑
How non-functional alleles can become dominant: Haploinsufficiency   show
🗑
How non-functional alleles can become dominant: Quaternary structure   show
🗑
Polygenic   show
🗑
Genetic interaction example - Why the expression of 2 genes can lead to so many skin colours of peppers   show
🗑
Epistasis   show
🗑
show When the expression of a gene is controlled by the expression of another gene, opposite of an epistatic relationship  
🗑
show They're determined by enzymes catalysing intermediates, each enzyme depends on previous enzymes in the pathway to create an appropriate substrate meaning their genes are hypostatic to the previous enzyme's genes  
🗑
Penetrance   show
🗑
Expressivity   show
🗑
A cause behind variable penetrance & expressivity   show
🗑
show Diagrams showing simplified relative distance between genes or markers on a chromosome as well as the type of inheritance & linkage  
🗑
show The distance between genes is based on the frequency of recombination during inheritance which increases the further genes are from one another, measured in centimorgans (1cM = 1% probability)  
🗑
Physical genome map   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
