Graphic tool used to help predict the outcomes of genetic experiments
Punnett squares
The branch of biology that studies heredity
Genetics
Show a completed Punnett square for this cross: AA x Aa
The Hardy-Weinberg equation is used to predict gene frequencies in a population. If the prediction does not match the population, this indicates that this phenomenon is occurring.

Mendel was working at this "job"
Monk
Mono means this
One
The passing on of characters to ones offspring
A Punnett square is used to determine genotype and phenotype ratios of the (parents/ offspring)
offspring
H-W equilibrium needs these five factors: large population (no genetic drift), no mutations, no migration (no gene flow) and ...., ..... (Name the last two factors)
Random mating and no natural selection

The Father of Genetics
Hybrid means this
cross or different traits
Section of DNA that stores information for a single trait
Gene
If tall is dominant to short, what is the phenotype and genotype ratio of a cross between a heterozygous tall and a short plant?
Phenotype 2 tall: 2 short
Genotype 2 Tt: 2 tt
In the equation p + q = ?

Mendel noticed that when a purple flower plant was crossed with a white flower plant all the offspring had purple flowers. This led him to defining this law.
To start his experiments on peas, Mendel created true breeding plants. This meant their genotype was... for that trait.
homozygous
Different versions of a gene
alleles
List the possible gamete genotypes of a parent AaBb (Hint *FOIL)
AB, aB, Ab, ab
2pq is the frequency of
heterozygous individuals (Aa)
After observing the inheritance of two traits, Mendel saw that plants could inherit all combinations of both traits (purple flowers and tall, purple flowers and short, white flowers and tall, white flowers and short). This led him to propose this law.
In Mendel's experiments, this resulting generation was 100% heterozygous, all showing the dominant phenotype.
F1 generation
This term describes a genotype that has two different alleles for a gene.
heterozygous
The phenotype ratio of a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous parents (AaBb x AaBb)
