LIFESCI 7B Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Variable Number Tandem Repeat, Epistasis, Punnett Square
Document Summary
Learning objections de ne the addition and multiplication rule. Explain how incomplete dominance and epistasis a ect the inheritance of a trait. De ne the terms x linked gene and y linked gene. Explain the experimental processes of dna ngerprinting using vntr analysis. Diagram the process of homologous recombination and explain how it can lead to new combinations of linked alleles. By the time you take the rst midterm. Use pedigree analysis to calculate the likelihood an individual will have a particular genotype or phentype. Distinguish between dominant, recessive, autosomal, x-linked patterns of inheritance using pedigrees. Interpret the results of crosses and pedigrees whose results di er from mendelian expectations because of incomplete dominance, epistasis, or hierarchy of dominance. Analyze vntr dna ngerprinting data to determine the genotypes and/or relatedness of individuals. Determine if and where homologous recombination has occurred based on combinations of linked alleles.
