Mendel's Work
Mendel's work was done primarily using this plant species.
Peas
The specific combination of genes for a trait in an organism are called it's this
Genotype
This is a specific sequence of genetic information used to code for a specific protein or feature of an organisms
Gene
A Punnett square can't tell you what will always happen, but it is used to calculate this, the likelihood that something might happen.
Probability
Mendel's Law of Segregation states that each trait is determined by the combination of this many factors.
2
An organism with the genotype AA is described as this
Homozygous Dominant
The description of the physical trait produced by the genes of an organism is called that organism's this.
Phenotype
What is the likelihood of having a homozygous dominant offspring if both parents are heterozygous?
25%
Mendel found that one factor for each trait is this, or more likely to be covered up by other traits
Recessive
Typically, these two genotypes produce the dominant phenotype.
Homozygous Dominant and Heterozygous
The different versions of a single gene are called these
Alleles
In cattle, black fur is dominant to red fur. A homozygous black male is crossed with a red female. What is the likelihood that the offspring with be red?
0%
Mendel claimed that when there are multiple different versions of a trait, one is always this, or more likely to display its trait over any others.
Dominant
In rats, long tails are dominant to short tails. A short tailed rat would have this genotype.
Homozygous Recessive
This describes a gene relationship in which the dominant trait is influenced by the presence of the recessive one, mixing them together
Incomplete Dominance
In pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. A heterozygous purple plant is crossed with a white plant. What is the likelihood that the offspring will be purple?
50%
This law of Mendel's states that each trait is inherited on its own and without input by the other traits.
Law of Independent Assortment
In cats, blue eyes are recessive to brown eyes. A cat with the genotype (Aa) would have this phenotype.
Brown Eyes.
This describes a genetic relationship in which the two alleles don't overpower each other, but both appear and are distinct from one another
Co-Dominance
In humans, dwarfism is dominant to non-dwarfism. 2 dwarf parents have 3 kids, 2 with dwarfism and 1 without. What is the genotype of both parents?
Both are Heterozygous
