History
The person named the "Father of Genetics".
Who is Gregor Mendel?
What is heterozygous?
The genotype that makes a biological male.
What is XY?
The information you know from a square that is shaded in.
What is; the individual is male and expresses the trait being studied?
The father of genetics studied this specific organism.
What is the pea plant?
The term for the observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the combination of alleles for a gene.
What is phenotype?
The reason why males express x-linked traits more often than females.
What is; males only contain one x chromosome so they only need one copy of the trait for it to be expressed?
List the 4 main patterns of inheritance?
What are: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, x-linked dominant, x-linked recessive?
The dominant theory of genetic inheritance before Mendel's research (double points if you explain it).
Offspring inherit a trait that is the average of the parent's values for that trait.
The percentage of having having a homozygous dominant individual from the cross of RR and rr.
What is 0%?
The term for an individual who has one copy of the diseased allele but does not express the phenotype.
What is a carrier?
The pattern of inheritance when both males and females are affected equally and the trait may disappear and reappear in future generations.
What is autosomal recessive?
This law states that alleles are either dominant or recessive and the dominant allele will be expressed with only one copy.
The difference between incomplete dominance and codominance.
What is: incomplete dominance is a blending of the alleles for the heterozygous phenotype; codominance is when both alleles are expressed equally?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY (sort of)

The three laws Mendel created from his research.
What are: the law of segregation, the law of independent assortment, the law of dominance and uniformity?
The name for the type of inheritance found in the human ABO blood group system.
What is codominance?
Hemophilia is an x-linked recessive disorder. If the mother expresses hemophilia but the dad does not, the resulting sons have a ___________ chance of having hemophilia.
What is 100%?
An example of an autosomal dominant disorder that we discussed in class.
What is Huntington's disease, BRCA1 breast cancer, Marfan syndrome?
