Who is the father of genetics?

Gregor Mendel

100

This is the likelihood that an event will occur, it is used to predict the outcome of genetic crosses.

probability

100

This is the name of the genetic makeup of an organism; it is represented by letters. And this the the name of the physical characteristic.

genotype; phenotype

100

A sequence of DNA that codes for a particular characteristic

What is a Gene?

100

A fixed position or location on a chromosome

What is a locus?

200

Mendel worked with these organisms to study the inheritance of traits

pea plants

200

This is the reason why short plants disappeared in Mendel's F1 generation of pea plants

All the F1 generation were heterozygous for plant height and since the tall trait is dominant it covers the recessive short trait.

200

Different forms of a gene are called this; Mendel called them factors.

Alelles

200

This vector can be used to carry a good genes into a human cell, but also can be risky.

What is a Virus?

200

molecule used to cut DNA

What is an enzyme?

300

Name the 4 phenotypes discussed in Mendels Peas

Round, Wrinkled, Green and Yellow

300

These are the offspring genotype when plants with the following alleles are crossed: TT and Tt

50% TT and 50% Tt

300

This is another name for a homozygous genotype.

purebred

300

Change that occurs in a DNA sequence

What is a mutation?

300

In most sexually reproducing organisms, each adult has this many copies of each gene. 

2 copies, one from each parent.

400

Mendel discovered that this type of trait could only show if it paired with another trait that was the same type.

recessive

400

This is a diagram that illustrates all of the possible genetic combos that can occur during sexual reproduction

Punnett square

400

This is another name for a hybrid genotype.

heterozygous

400

a child whose genetic makeup has been selected or altered, often to include a particular gene or to remove genes associated with disease.

What is a designer baby?

400

Technique Mendel used to pollinate the flowers of his pea plants. He did this by cutting off the male parts of one flower and dusted the female part with pollen from another flower.

What is cross-pollination?

500

When an organism inherits two of the same alleles, we describe this genotype as being __________. And when an organism inherits two different alleles, we describe this genotype as being __________.

homozygous; heterozygous

500

This is the principle that states that genes for different traits can segregate independently during formation of gametes.

What is the Principle of Independent Assortment

500

a process in which he number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell. 

What is Meiosis?

500

research investigations in which people volunteer to test new treatments, interventions or tests as a means to prevent, detect, treat or manage various diseases or medical conditions.

What is a clinical trial?

500

Name the chemical that was either bitter or tasteless to students in our paper tasting activity.
