Represented by a capital letter on a punnet square. This trait is always visible in an organism.
What is a dominant trait?
100
This is used to predict genotypes and phenotypes of offspring.
What is a Punnett Square?
100
This genotype would produce an offspring with brown eyes. B is for Brown eyes b is for blue eyes
What is BB or Bb?
100
Mendel did his studies on these organisms because they grew quickly and were easy to pollinate.
What are pea plants?
200
The year Gregor Mendel began investigating heredity.
What is 1856?

This is represented by a lowercase letter on a punnet square. This trait can only show when two alleles of it are present.
What is a recessive trait?
200
When an organism has only one type of trait as the genotype. (For example - BB or bb)
What is Homozygous?
200
This phenotype would produce short pea plants. T is tall pea plants. t is short pea plants.
What is tt?

Gregor Mendel's ideas became popular when he published them. (True or False)
What is false?
300
The country where Gregor Mendel lived. (Current day name).
What is the Czech Republic?
300
The physical appearance of a genetic trait.
What is a phenotype?
300
This organism carries both types of alleles or genes in its genotype. (For example Bb or Tt)
What is heterozygous?
300
These parents would produce this possible combination of offspring. 100% Yy
What are parents of Yy and Yy?
300
Can only be created 2 Homozygous genotype parents can only.
What is homozygous offspring?
400
Gregor Mendel was very smart, but due to nerves, he was unable to pass this test.
What is the teaching exam?
400
A version of a gene, they can be dominant or recessive and come in pairs.
What is an allele?
400
The offspring of this crossing is: 50% BB 25% Bb 25% bb
What is produced by parents with Bb and Bb genotypes?
400
These parents flowers were both red (dominant), they produced some offspring with white flowers.
What are parents of Rr and Rr.
400
The genotypes of possible offspring of parents who have the phenotype of Lavender eyes (L).
What are genotypes of Ll and LL?
500
Gregor Mendel came from a poor family and had to help pay for his schooling. How did he do this?
What is tutoring other students?
500
The allele combinations that offspring or parents have that determine phenotypes.
What is a genotype?
500
Only homozygous recessive parents can do this.
What are can only produce 100% homozygous recessive offspring?
500
The phenotypes of this plant is yellow, a dominant trait. Find its possible genotypes.
