Nobel laureate, the "Father of Fruit Flies"
Who is Thomas Hunt Morgan?
Mendel's rank.
What is an abbot?
The molecule of inheritance.
The Mendelian Law governing the inheritance of more than 1 gene.
What is the Law of Independent Assortment?
A fruit fly has four of these.
What are chromosome pairs?
Mendel experimented on them.
What are garden peas?
Chromosomes with the same genes.
What are homologous pairs?
Homozygous round/yellow x homozygous wrinkled/green yields.
What is (heterozygous) round and yellow?
Traits that are determined by several genes.
What are polygenic traits?
A normal fruit fly's eye color.
What is red?
The "stronger version" of a gene.
What is the dominant allele?
They got the Nobel prize for DNA structure.
Who are Watson, Crick and Wilkins?
What are human blood types?
Two alleles can show up the phenotype.
What is codominance?
The mutant male had this eye color.
What is white?
Mendel's "pure lines".
What are homozygotes?
Two halves of a chromosome.
What are sister chromatids?
F2 ratio of homozygous dihybrids.
What is 9:3:3:1?
Red-green color blindness and a form of hemophilia are examples.
What are x-linked traits?
The location of the eye-color gene.
What is the x-chromosome?
A law that isn't always true.
What is Independent Assortment?
Proteins that hold chromosomes together.
What are histones?
When a recessive allele supresses another gene's phenotype.
What is recessive epistasis?
A gene that determines several traits.
What is a pleiotropic gene?
