inheritance of characters transmitted through extranuclear elements (as mitochondrial DNA) in the cytoplasm of the egg

small colonies of mutants
3/53
in each somatic cell of a normal female, one of the X chromosomes is randomly deactivated. This deactivated X chromosome can be seen as a small, dark-staining structure in the cell nucleus
4/53
the copies which are not identical due to the accumulation of random changes during evolution
5/53
Genetic polymorphism
6/53
the epigenetic phenomenon by which certain genes are expressed in a parent-of-origin-specific manner. If the allele inherited from the father is imprinted, it is thereby silenced, and only the allele from the mother is expressed.

that has the potential to cause the death
8/53
inheritanace pattern which involves genes that are not located in the cell nucleus
9/53
the presence of more than one type of organellar genome within a cell or individual
10/53
the allele causing the disease is recessive and located on the x chromosome
11/53
a condition in which phenotype is intermediate between the corresponding homozygoes individuals

is an evolutionary theory that explains the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotes
19/53
an allele is dominant in one sex but recessive in the opossite sex
20/53
a phenomenon when only one allele of a gene is expressed
21/53
X-inactivation (also called lyonization) is a process by which one of the two copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated
22/53
alleles which may kill the organism only when certain environmental conditions prevail
23/53
a symbiotic relationship in which the symbiont actually lives inside the host
24/53
when heterozygote has a greater reproductive success compared to either corresponding homozygotes
25/53
is an evolutionary theory that explains the origin of eukaryotic cells from prokaryotes
26/53
compensation by random X-inactivation, of the dosage of gene material in the cells of males and females carrying X-linked genes
27/53
the genetic material that is found in mitochondria. Mitochondria are structures that convey the energy from food into a form that cells can use
28/53
organelle where genetic material of mitochondria and chloroplasts is located
29/53
the inheritance pattern of the Mic2 gene is the same as the inheritance pattern of a gene located on autosome even though the Mic2 gene is actually located on the sex chromosomes

the age when the symptoms of the disease appear
31/53
Sex influenced inheritance
32/53
few genes which are located only on Y chromosome

34/53
when two alleles are both expressed in the heterozygous individual

the mechanism of X inactivation
36/53
how the allelic variants of two different genes affect a single trait
37/53
effects of environmental variation on a phenotype

47/53
multiple effects of a single gene on the phenotype of an organism
48/53
how the allelic variants of two different genes affect a single trait
49/53
when the alleles of one gene mask the phenotypic effects of the alleles of another gene
50/53
a pattern in which the genotype of the mother directly determines the phenotype of her offspring (an inheritance pattern for certain nuclear genes)
