Some genes can be hidden or covered up by another. These are considered to be-

Recessive

How are traits passed from parent to offspring?

Through genes during reproduction

Where are genes located?
In the chromosomes

How many genes do you get from one of your parents?

23 or half

What is the punnet square used for?
To determine the outcome of genetic crossings.
200

The DNA segment that contains information for a specific trait.

What are genes?

300

The threadlike structures of DNA that carry genes.

What are chromosomes?

300

The physical trait observed in an offspring 

What is a phenotype?

If you are studying a population of genetically identical individuals, you can conclude that these individuals reproduce how?

Asexually

Why does a Punnet Square use capital and lowercase letters?

To show dominant verses recessive traits 

Capital = Dominant Trait Lower Case = Recessive Trait

For some traits, only one copy of a particular gene is needed to show a given trait. These genes are referred to as-

Dominant

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

Ee

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.
