Genotype
The amount of genes in each person's genotype
2
The amount of phenotypes each person has
1
The definition of a dominant gene
A gene that overpowers all others
Reccesive gene definition
Gets overpowered by dominant gene, unless their is two of them
How are generations represented
Roman numerals
The definition of genotype
The genes you have
Phenotype definition
Gene you express
The two genotypes you can have to have the dominant gene
Heterozygous and homozygous dominant
Amount of recessive genes needed to be shown
2
Squares represent females
False
Your possible genotype if you have brown eyes
Homozygous dominant or heterozygous
Your phenotype if your genotype is heterozygous
Dominant
Are blue eyes dominant?
No
The dominant overpowers the recessive
True
How to represent a carrier on a Pedigree Chart
A dot in the middle or half shaded in box/circle
The three genotypes
Heterozygous, homozygous recessive, and homozygous dominant
Your mom is heterozygous for eye color and you are heterozygous for eye color what eye color could your father have
Brown or blue
If your parents express the dominant gene and your wife express the recessive gene what gene could your children express.
Either
Name two recessive genes
Blond hair and blue eyes
Carrier definition
Having the gene for a trait but not being affected by it
If someone's dad has blue eyes and mom has brown eyes and their children have blue eyes, blue eyes, and brown eyes, what is the mom's genotype
Heterozygous
Your parents are both homozygous dominant with type A blood, what is your phenotype
Homozygous dominant
Name three dominant genes
Brown eyes, dimples, and type A blood
Can a mutation be recessive?
Yes
