SOME (but not all!) KEY TERMS AND IDEAS FOR THESE TWO WEEKS
q Mendelian Genetics
o Gregor Mendel
o The Principle of Dominance
§ Genes, alleles, traits, and hybrids
o The Principle of Segregation
§ P, F1, and F2 generations
§ Gametes
· Probability and Punnett Squares
o Homozygous vs. Heterozygous
o Genotype vs. Phenotype
o Single trait crosses
o Multiple trait crosses
o The Principle of Independent Assortment
· Non-Mendelian Genetics
o Incomplete dominance
o Codominance
o Multiple alleles
o Polygenic traits
o Genes and the environment
· Meiosis
o Homologous pairs
o Meiosis I
o Meiosis II
o Human gamete formation
· Gene linkage and Chromosome Maps
q Human Genetics
· Human Heredity
o Human Chromosomes
o Karyotping
o Pedigrees
o Sex-linked traits
