GENETIC GENETIC TERMINOLOGYTERMINOLOGY

•DominantDominant•RecessiveRecessive•HomozygousHomozygous•HeterozygouHeterozygouss

•GenotypeGenotype•PhenotypPhenotypee

•TraitTrait•AlleleAllele

• Dominant allele- trait is always expressed if present

- Written as capital letter

- Ex. Tall= T• Recessive allele- only expressed if no dominant

allele is present – (Dominant allele masks this one)

- For a particular trait written as the sameletter but lower case

- Ex. Short= t

Dominant and Recessive Alleles

• Genotype- the genes you get from your parents– Two letters represent the two alleles– One from mom one from dad – TT, Tt, tt

• Phenotype- the physical trait, what you look like – Tall short, yellow or green – TT, tt what is the phenotype??

• Homozygous - the same alleles for a gene – TT, tt

• Heterozygous - having different alleles for a gene– Tt

Trait = HeightTrait = Height

TALL SHORT alleles

Flower Color Trait

Gene- unit of inherited information in DNA Allele- alternative form of a gene ( white purple)

Test Cross- mate an unknown genotype ( TT or Tt) with homozygous recessive (tt)

In Starfish In Starfish being being redred is is

dominant over dominant over being being pinkpink.. What would What would

PatrickPatrick’’s s phenotypephenotype be? What be? What would his would his

genotypegenotype be? be?

Because Patrick is pink… his

phenotype is PINKPINK

And since pink is

recessive – his

genotype

would be “rrrr ”

RedRed is dominant over

pinkpinkSuppose we

had a HETEROZYGO

US redred starfish what

would the genotype be?

Rr
