Physical traits such as hair or eye color

What is phenotype?
100

The passage of genetic instructions (traits) from parent to offspring.

What is heredity?

100

Cells need to do this to reproduce copies

What is DNA replication?

100
Some genes can be hidden or covered up by another. These are considered to be-
Recessive
100
How are traits passed from parent to offspring?
Through genes during reproduction
200

Homozygous or Heterozygous?

AA

What is Homozyous?

200

The trait observed when at least one allele for a characteristic is inherited

What is a dominant trait?

200

This is the complementary strand to this:

ATC  GAC  TGC  ATG  CCT

What is: TAG CTG ACG TAC GGA?

200
What is the punnet square used for?
To determine the outcome of genetic crossings.
200
Name two traits that could be inherited from a parent?
Examples: hair color, eye color, height, skin color, freckles, etc...
300
What do we call the genetic make up of the individual, represented by a set of letters?
Genotype
300

Different forms of a single trait.

What are genes?
300

The trait observed only when two alleles for the same characteristic are inherited

What is recessive trait?

300
A black chicken (BB) is crossed with a black chicken (BB). What percentage of offspring will be black?
100%
300
Why does a Punnet Square use capital and lowercase letters?
Capital = Dominant Trait Lower Case = Recessive Trait
400

Purple flowers are dominant to pink flowers. This genotype would show a hybrid flower.

Use letters H and h

What is Hh?

400

Having different alleles for a particular gene

What is Heterozygous?
400

The for nitrogen bases of DNA.

What are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine?

400

Having dimples is dominant (D). Not having dimples is recessive. (d) Both parents are heterozygous for the dominant trait. What percentage of the children will NOT have dimples?

25%

Two dark brown rabbits have four offspring. Three of the offspring are dark and one is white. What does this tell you about the parents' genes for fur color?
Dark brown is dominant and white fur is recessive. Both parents are heterozygous.
500

Green eyes are dominant to blue eyes, using letters G and g, these are all the possible genotypes.

What is GG, Gg, and gg

500

Definition of Homozygous.

What is: having the same alleles for a particular gene?

500

Find the amino acids:

DNA strand:

AAT GCT TAC

What is:

Leu, Arg, and Met?

Long ears are dominant (E) in rabbits. If one parent is homozygous dominant for the long ear trait and the other homozygours reccessive (e), what is the only possible genotype of the offspring?

Ee
