Basics of genetics
The molecule encoding heredity
What is DNA
The set of observable change(s) in a trait of an organism
What is the phenotype
A group of possibly interbreeding individuals form the same species sharing the same space at the same time
What is a population
G, C, T, A in genetics
What are nucleotides
What is the change over time in the genetic composition of a population
Biological evolution
A locus where all individuals in the population carry the same allele
What is a monomorphic locus
I am known as the father of heredity
Gregor Mendel
An alteration in the nucleic acid sequence of the genome of an organism
What is a mutation
A loci where the individual show two allele
What is a heterozygote loci
I am the organism that early geneticists used a lot (and still use today) to discover the principles of genetics
Who is the fruit fly (drosophila melanogaster)
One of two or more versions of DNA sequence (a single base or a segment of bases) at a given genomic location.
What is an allele
The simultaneous occurrence of two or more discontinuous genotypes or alleles in a population
Polymorphism
A variation in a single base pair in a DNA sequence
What is a single nucleotide polymorphism
The two alleles present at a specific locus in the genome
What is a genotype
The several loci with observable differences across individuals for each locus, of a dataset
Segregating sites
