What is a characteristic or feature of a living thing?
A trait
What are the 2 types of proteins that produces different traits?
Complete/condensed Myostatin
Partial/Spaced Myostatin
What does the case (upper vs. lower) of the letters mean in a Punnet Square?
lower - recessive
Where are genes located?
On the chromosomes
Inherited traits that children get from their parents come from-
Genes
A black chicken (BB) is crossed with a black chicken (BB). What percentage of offspring will be black?
What type of reproduction produces genetically IDENTITCAL offspring?
Asexual Reproduction
What is the cellular structure that store the instructions that determine different traits?
Chromosomes
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?
What are some environmental factors that can influence an organism?
Food, diet, water, light amount, etc.
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?
What do we call the genetic make up of the individual, represented by a set of letters?
Genotype
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.
