Predicting genotypes for offspring
100
Combination of alleles that the offspring inherited from the parents
What is a genotype?
100
Changes in number, type, or order of bases on a strand of DNA


What is a mutation?
100
Genetic material in cells is contained by this molecule
What is DNA?
100
Allele that contributes to the phenotype if one or two copies are present in the genotype
What is a dominant allele?
200
A table to predict possible genotypes for the offspring
What is a punnett square?
200
When a base on a DNA strand is left out
What is deletion?
200
Segments of DNA found in chromosomes that give instructions for producing a certain characteristic
What are genes?
200
Allele that contributes to the phenotype if one or two copies are present in the genotype
What is a recessive allele?
300
An expression that compares two quantities
What is a ratio?
300
When an extra base on a DNA strand is added
What is insertion?
300
A different version of a gene and are responsible for producing small particles on surface of red blood cells called antigens
What is an alleles?
300
Observable traits that create this and is a blend of phenotypes of parents
What is a phenotype?
400
A ratio that compares a number to 100 and states that the number of times a certain outcome might happen out of a hundred chances
What is a percentage?
400
When one base on a DNA strand replaces another
What is substitution?
400
The process of making copies of DNA molecules
What is replication?
400
When each allele in a heterozygous individual influences phenotype
What is incomplete dominance?
500

A mathematical chance of specific outcome in relation to total number of possible outcomes

What is probability?
500
DNA strand is damaged by physical or chemical agents
What is mutagens?
500
A base, a sugar, and a phosphate group make up a building block of DNA
What is a nucleotide?
500
When both alleles in a heterozygous individual contributes to the phenotype
