MENDEL
The kind of plant Mendel used for his experiments
What are pea plants?
The type of heredity where the dominant trait is always expressed in a hybrid plant
What is simple dominance?
The random change in the ratio of alleles in a population
What is genetic drift?
The Creation Mandate
What duty did God give to humans regarding Creation?
Location of DNA in a cell
What is the nucleus?
The grid used to identify possible offspring genotypes
What is a Punnett square?
Pink snapdragons are an example of this
The kind of number that is used to measure genetic drift
What are ratios?
When genes are manipulated by humans
What is genetic engineering?
The cellular process that results in 4 daughter cells
What is mitosis?
Height, pod shape, pod color, seed shape, seed color, and seed coat color
What are the traits Mendel tested for?
Striped camellia flowers are an example of this
What is codominance?
The process in which organisms with adaptations survive to breed
What is natural selection?
Safe and abundant food
What is one thing genetic engineering promises?
The part of the plant mostly responsible for photosynthesis
What are leaves?
The study of how traits are passed from one generation to another
What is heredity?
Human blood type is passed on through this type of inheritance
What is multiple alleles?
The theory that says that natural selection can produce extensive changes, making new kinds of organisms
What is evolution?
A machine used to get new DNA into a plant's nucleus
What is a gene gun?
Floppy or straight ears, short or long teeth, tall or short plants
What are phenotypes?
An offspring with a mix of alleles for a specific character
What is a hybrid?
When two or more genes in different places on the chromosome control a single trait
What is polygenic inheritance?
The natives of the Pacific island Pingelap often show this phenotype more than other populations do
What is complete colorblindness?
The group who believe that natural selection acts on the phenotypes God created in the original kinds
What are Creationists?
The kind of allele that will be dominated by the dominant allele
What is the recessive allele?
