Modern Understanding of Inheritance

Recall cards on the chromosomal basis of heredity: the chromosomal theory of inheritance (Boveri, Sutton, Carothers, Morgan), genetic linkage, crossing over and chiasmata, parental versus recombinant offspring, recombination frequency, genetic maps and centimorgans, three-point crosses, karyotypes and karyograms, nondisjunction, aneuploidy (monosomy and trisomy including Down syndrome), sex-chromosome variations (triplo-X, Klinefelter, Turner) and X inactivation, polyploidy, and chromosome structure changes (duplications, deletions, inversions, translocations).
