A
The passing on of traits from parent to offspring is known as this
What is heredity
What is a genotype?
This tool is used to create a visual of the probability of certain traits being crossed together.
What is a punnett square?
This is a tool used to trace a trait through many generations.
What is a pedigree?
What is selective breeding/ artificial selection?
This person is known as the "father of genetics".
Who is Gregor Mendel
This is the physical appearance expressed by the combination of alleles.
What is phenotype?
These are the genotypes of BB, Bb, and bb.
What is homozygous dominant, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive?
In a pedigree a circle means this
What is female?
This is when a gene from one organism is taken and placed into another.
What is genetic engineering?
This is what different forms of the genes are known as.
What are alleles?
This is when you have 2 dominant or 2 recessive alleles together- also known as purebred.
What is homozygous?
If you have 2 heterozygous parents this is the probability of getting a homozygous recessive child.
What is 1/4 or 25%?
This is what a line between a circle and square means in a pedigree.
What is a relationship/ marriage?
This is the gene editing tool that is used in genetic engineering.
What is CRISPR?
This is what a segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait is called.
What is a gene?
This is when you have one dominant and one recessive allele together- also known as hybrid.
What is heterozygous?
If you have 2 heterozygous parents this is the probability of getting a homozygous dominant child.
What is 1/4 or 25%?
This is what a circle or square that is fully shaded in means in a pedigree.
What is they are affected by the trait?
This is the type of biotechnology that is an exact copy of the DNA from the organism in which it came from.
What is a clone?
This type of trait will only show up when there is not a dominant allele present.
What is recessive?
If you have one blue fish and one yellow fish what would the results be in each type of dominance? Blue is dominant to yellow
Complete dominance- blue
Incomplete dominance- green
Codominance- blue and yellow
If you have 2 heterozygous parents this is the probability of getting a heterozygous child.
What is 2/4 or 50%?
This is what a half shaded in circle or square means in a pedigree.
What is they are a carrier (heterozygous) for the trait- they don't have it but their child might?
Artificial Selection, Genetic Engineering, and Cloning are all examples of this.
What is Biotechnology or Genetic Technologies?
