A homozygous dominant tall pea plant (TT) is crossed with a homozygous recessive short pea plant (tt). What percent of the baby pea plants will be tall?
What is 100%?
100
Having two of the SAME alleles for a gene
What is homozygous?
100
The pink Japanese four o'clock (pink camelia) shows this.
What is incomplete dominance?
100
This process makes RNA using DNA as a template
What is transcription?
200
The trait that is HIDDEN by another, stronger, trait.
What is recessive?
200
A heterozygous tall pea plant (Tt) is crossed with another heterozygous tall pea plant (Tt). What percent of the baby pea plants will be homozygous dominant?
What is 25%?
200
Having two DIFFERENT alleles for the same gene
What is heterozygous?
200
Both traits are dominant and both are shown - SEPARATELY! (like in spotted cows)
What is codominance?
200
This has the bases adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).
What is DNA?
300
The passing of traits to offspring.
What is heredity?
300
Two people with blue eyes have a baby. What is the chance that the baby will have brown eyes (remember: brown is dominant)?
What is 0%?
300
Geneticists use these to predict the possible outcome of genetic crosses.
What are Punnett squares?
300
ABO blood typing is an example of this.
What is multiple alleles?
300
This base is only in RNA - NOT in DNA.
What is uracil?
400
The study of HOW traits are passed from parents to offspring.
What is genetics?
400
You have this many alleles for each gene.
What is two?
400
When MORE THAN ONE GENE controls a trait
What is polygenic inheritance?
400
Your skin color is an example of this type of inheritance.
What is polygenic inheritance?
400
This process makes a protein using RNA as the template.
What is translation?
500
He is considered the father of genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
500
A homozygous recessive short pea plant is crossed with a heterozygous tall pea plant. What percent of the offspring will be heterozygous?
What is 50%?
500
When there are MORE THAN TWO ALLELES for a certain gene
What is multiple alleles?
500
This is when neither allele is fully dominant, so the phenotype is a BLEND of the two.
