Answer:
Gene: The hereditary material made up of alleles.
Alleles: The alternative forms of a gene.
Dominant: An allele or trait that masks the effect of recessive allele or trait.
Recessive: An allele or trait that gets suppressed by the dominant allele or trait.
genotype: The genome of a particular organism of the genes which make up an organism.
phenotype: The physical traits or characteristics of an organism.
test- cross: A cross in which the dominant and the recessive trait offsprings are crossed to depict whether the dominant organism is homozygous or heterozygous.
law of independent assortment: Alleles of different genes get assorted independently into gametes.
law of segregation: allele pairs segregate during gamete formation and unite at the time of fertilization.
product rule: Independent evens can be calculated by multiplying the independent probabilities.
Addition rule: The probability which shows that one event would occur in a mutually exclusive event.
co-dominant: When the dominant and the recessive trait occur and the organism shows both the characteristics of the dominant and the recessive trait.
incomplete dominance: when the dominant trait is not fully dominant over the recessive trait. As a result, individuals are produced which show neither the dominant or the recessive trait. A new trait is developed in them.
Explanation:
Answer:
DNA plasmid that contains both "old" and "new" gene segments and confers new characteristics to the organism in which it is placed.
Explanation:
During the genetic engineering procedure, which aims at producing an organism with better and desirable characteristics, a DNA called PLASMID is usually used to convey the gene of interest into the organism.
A plasmid is a self-replicating extra-chromosomal DNA found in the bacterial genome. The plasmid becomes a RECOMBINANT PLASMID when a foreign DNA of interest is inserted into it, in order to act as a vector (carrier). Therefore, a recombinant plasmid is a DNA plasmid that contains both "old" i.e bacterial genome and "new" i.e foreign gene segments and confers new characteristics to the organism in which it is placed.
