The first person known to record evidence that traits of an organism are determined by factors passed from parents to offspring
Who is Gregor Mendel
A section of DNA that has information about specific traits of an organism
What is a Gene?
Observable traits and all characteristics of an organism make up the organism's____________
What is phenotype?
This type of sample space is used to predict all of the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring.
What is a Punnett square?
A true-breed mated with another produces?
What is a true-breed?
Gregor Mendel is known as the father of this. It is the study of how traits of organisms are passed from parents to offspring.
What is a Genetics?
Each form of a gene with different information.
What is an allele?
Alleles of all the genes on an organism’s chromosomes make up its _________________
What is genotype?
A homozygous pink-flowered plant (PP) and a heterozygous red-flowered plant (Pp) cross pollinate.
What would a punnett square of the offspring look like?
What is Punnett Square would give PP PP Pp and Pp
A trait shows this when both parent’s alleles can be observed in a phenotype
What is co-dominance?
When Mendel crossed true-breeding White-flowered pea plants with true-breeding Purple-flowered pea plants what color flowers did the offspring have?
What is Purple?
This type of allele blocks out other alleles.
What is a dominant allele?
A dog’s furry long hair is parts of its _____________________
What is phenotype?
What percent of the offspring in this Punnett Square would have a homozygous genotype?
What is 50%?
A cross between a white camellia flower and a red camellia flower produces a pink camellia plant. This is an example of what type of complex inheritance?
What is incomplete dominance?
Mendel concluded that a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor is __________ whereas a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of another factor is
What is dominant?
What is recessive?
An allele that is blocked by a dominant allele.
What is a recessive allele?
All of the genes in an organism’s cells would be an example of that organism’s ___________________________
What is genotype?
What percent of the offspring in this punnett square would have the dominant phenotype?
What is 100%
A red flower crosses with a white flower and produces a red and white flower. This is an example of what type of complex inheritance?
What is codominance?
One of the first female to work on an aircraft?
Who is Katherine Johnson?
Having 2 different alleles for a gene.
What is heterozygous?
Along with an organism’s genes, _____________________can also affect phenotype.
What is environment?
DNA codes for this
What is proteins or phenotype
This is when genes have more than two alleles
What is multiple alleles?
