Mendel and His Peas
The passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring.
What is Heredity
(take your points from another team)
The genotype percentages of probability when cross-pollinating two homozygous recessive white flowers.
What is 100% homozygous recessive (pp)?
(keep your points)
One set of instructions for an inherited trait.
What is a gene?
(take your points from another team)
An organism's appearance or other detectable characteristic.
What is phenotype?
(give your points away)
The ratio Mendel found for dominant to recessive traits in the 2nd generation.
What is 3:1 ratio?
(give your points away)
Gregor Mendel was born here.
What is Austria?

The phenotype percentages of probability when cross-pollinating two heterozygous (purple) flowers.
What is 75% purple and 25% white?
(give your points away)
If a homozygous Dominant (purple) flower cross-breed with a Homozygous recessive (white) flower, what is/are the percentages of the offspring's phenotype?
What is 100% purple?
(keep your points)
The trait that appears during cross-breeding and is represented by an uppercase letter (Ex. T).
What is Dominant Trait
(keep your points)
The step Mendel took to be sure that his pea plants cross-pollinate.
What is he removed the anthers of one plan?
(give your points away)
This is where Gregor Mendel did his research.
What is at a monastery?
(Keep your points)
The genotype percentages of probability when cross-pollinating a Homozygous recessive (white) flower with a Heterozygous (purple) flower?
What is 50% Rr, 50% rr and 0% RR?
(take your points from another team)
One of the alternative forms of a gene that governs a characteristic, such as hair color.
What is allele?
(Give your points away)
A white tiger with blue eyes is and example of this.
What is one gene with many traits?
(take your points from another team)
This is what happens when a true-breeding plant self-pollinates.
What is all of its offspring have the same traits as the parent?
(Keep your points)
The first and second generations in Mende's word mean this. (2 words)
What is parents and offspring?
(give your points away)
The percentage of probability for the phenotypes when a homozygous recessive (white) flower cross-pollinates with a heterozygous (purple) flower.
What is 50% purple and 50% white?
(give your points away)
The entire genetic makeup of an organism; also the combination of genes for one or more specific traits.
What is genotype?
(keep your points)
The reason we have so many different combinations of hair and eye color is due to this.
What is many genes for one trait?
(keep your points)
This is why ratios are important in Mendel's work.
What is they showed the relationship between two different things?
(give your points away)
Both male and female reproductive structures are found in this kind of plant.
What is a cross-breeding plant?
(keep your points)
The genotype percentages of probability when cross-pollinating two heterozygous (purple) flowers.
What is 25% pp, 25% PP and 50% Pp?
(keep your points)
What are the three possible genotypes for any combination of alleles?
What is Homozygous Dominant, Homozygous Recessive and Heterozygous?
(keep your points)
Your genes may make it possible that you will grow to be tall, but you need a healthy diet to grow to your full potential height is an example of this influence on genes.
What is the environment?
(keep your points)
In the first experiment, all of the flowers were this color.
What is purple?
