DNA
Punnett Squares
Inherited or Acquired?
100
He is known as the father of Genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
100
This is a number that describes how likely an event is to occur. 
What is probability?
100
Where all of the genetic information is stored in the cell. 
What is the nucleus?
100
The genotype for a heterozygous dominant parent. 
What is Hh (or any upper and lower case)?
100
A trait that you have no control over, it is passed through DNA.
What is an inherited trait?
200
This is the type of plant that Mendel studied in his work with genetics.
What are pea plants?
200
This is a chart that shows all of the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross.
What is a Punnett Square?
200
This is what the letters DNA stand for.
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
200
The genotype for a homozygous recessive parent.
What is hh (any two lowercase)?
200
A trait that is not passed through DNA.  Also known as a learned behavior.
What is an acquired trait?
300
This is the scientific study of heredity.
What is genetics?
300
An organisms physical appearance, or visible traits. 
What is a phenotype?
300
This is the twisted ladder shape of the DNA molecule. 
What is a double helix?
300
The genotype for a homozygous dominant parent.
What is HH (any two uppercase)?
300
Eye color, hair color, height. 
What are inherited traits?
400
This trait always shows up in the organism when this type of allele is present. 
What is a dominant allele?
400
An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations. 
What is a genotype?
400
All DNA is packaged into these units. 
What is a chromosome?
400
The probability that all offspring are recessive in a trait if both parents are recessive in the same trait. 
What is 100%
400
Playing the piano, doing a front handspring, ability to hit a home run. 
What are acquired traits?
500
This is hidden whenever the dominant allele is present. This trait will only show up if the organism does not have a dominant allele present. 
What is a recessive allele?
500
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait is said to be ____________________.

And organism that has two different alleles for a trait is _______________________.

What is homozygous and heterozygous?
500
These are the chromosomes that determine whether you are biologically male or female. 
What are X and Y?
500
The probability that the offspring are dominant in a trait if one parent is homozygous dominant and the other parent is homozygous recessive. 
What is 100%?
500
The game we played in class that dealt with inherited and acquired traits.
