It's Hip To Be a "Square"
If brown eyes (B) is dominant over green eyes (b) and a female is homozygous for brown eyes while the male has green eyes, what are the genotypes for both the female and male?
Female: BB, Male: bb
Where are the chromosomes and genetic information such as genes for eye color, hair color, etc located in a cell?
Nucleus
In sexual reproduction, how many genes does an offspring receive for each trait?
What is two
You would use this word to describe the genotype "BB" (hint it means same)
What is homozygous
What is the term that we discussed last week that happens when Humans breed plants and animals so that we get desirable traits?
Selective Breeding
If two people who are heterozygous for Hitchhikers thumb have offspring, what is the probability(%) that their child will NOT have a hitchhikers thumb?
25%
An organisms inherits its genetic instructions from their -
parents
Sexual Reproduction results in genetic _______________ in offspring such as a variety of hair color in a dog liter.
variation
You would use this big word to describe the genotype "Dd" Hint: it means different
What is heterozygous
The total number of chromosomes pairs in a normal human cell
What is 23
It's the percentage chance of each box in a Punnett Square.
What is 25%
"Daughter" cells during asexual reproduction will have the ____________ number of genes as the each other and the parent cell.
same

Characteristics passed down from parent to offspring are considered to be.
Inherited traits
If more people in the world have a specific trait, it would be considered a _____________ trait.
What is Dominant
What percent chance would the offspring have of having brown eyes(B) if the parents genotypes are as follows: Mother: BB Father: Bb

The two types of sexual reproduction
Fertilization (humans and animals) Pollination (flower)
The passage of genetic instructions from one generation to the next is known as
What is a heredity
Which type of reproduction will have the most diverse (variety of traits) offspring?
sexual reproduction
Daily Double
If a person with a straight hairline (ww) had a child with a person that was heterozygous for Widows Peak (Ww) what is the only genotype that is NOT possible to get?
WW
Put these cell parts that determine genetic information in order from largest to smallest: Gene, Nucleus, chromosome, Allele
Nucleus, Chromosome, Gene, Allele
What is a disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
Low genetic variation
Another word for gene, we use letters to represent them, we have two of these for each trait.
Alleles
What does it mean when genetic information randomly copies incorrectly and there is a change in the gene pair?
mutation
