What is probability?
What is likelihood that a specific event will occcur

What is incomplete dominance?
What is case in which one allele is not completely dominant over another.

What is a dipoild represented by?
What is 2N (Human = 46).
100
What is gene linkage?
What is where certain characteristics are said to be “linked” to one another
200
Who is Gregor Mendel?
What is an Austrian monk who used pea plants to study inheritance. "Father of Genetics"
200
What are Punnett Squares used for?
What is used to predict and compare the genetic variations that will result from a cross
200
What is Codominance?
What is both alleles contribute to the phenotype.
200
How many sets of chromosomes does a haploid have?
What is one set of chromosomes.
200
What are gene maps used for?
What is to show linkage groups.
300
What is fertilization?
What is the formation of a new cell by the joining of sperm and egg cell
300
What are dihybrid crosses?
What is crossing of two characterists
300
What are Multiple alleles?
What are two or more alleles contribute to phenotype
300
What is the result of meiosis?

What is a trait?
What is a specific characteristic
400
What is the phenotype of a gene?
What is the physical characterists, what you can see.

What are Polygenic traits?
What are traits controlled by two or more genes.
400
What happens in prophase I?
What is the formation of tetrads.

What is the result of cross-pollination?
What is hybrids
