Document Summary

Biol 005a lecture 18: the genetic basis of inheritance: crosses. Gene : genomic sequence corresponding to a functional unit of inheritance. Locus : the location of a gene on the physical map. The human genome contains about 20,000 genes. Diploid organisms can have up to 2 different alleles of a gene. Multiple number of alleles can be present for a single gene in a population. An individual with 2 identical alleles is homozygous. An individual with 2 different alleles is heterozygous. Plants can be crossed to each other. Remove the stamens that contain the pollen grains from p1 (generation 1) Using a brush, collect the pollen from another plant or p2 and inoculate the stigma of the p1. True breeding = pure breeding = homozygous. Consider the f1 x f1 or pp x pp. Alleles of a locus segregate at random into gametes during meiosis. Alleles of a locus assort independently during meiosis.
