Genetics History
Gregor Mendel
Who is known as the "Father of Modern Genetics?"
dominant
What is the allele/trait that overpower the other allele/trait?
genotype
What are the genes that an organism has?
Polygenic Inheritance
What is when tow or more genes are responsible for a single trait?
antibodies
What are the soldiers that help your body from invading blood types?
Roman Catholic Monk
What was Gregor Mendel's profession?
recessive
What kind of trait only shows up if both factors/alleles are recessive?
allele
What is represented by a letter in the genotype?
multiple alleles
What is when there is more than 2 alleles for a gene?
agglutination
What happens when we get the wrong blood type, it clogs arteries and blocks blood flow?
Pea plants
What did Mendel use to study traits?
Heterozygous/Hybrid
Reginald Punnett
Who created squares to clearly show the genetic possibilities of offspring?
Karl Landsteiner
Who is the man who discovered blood types?
XX
What is female chromosome pair?
Homozygous/Purebred
What organism has the same alleles, either 2 dominant or two recessive alleles?
Incomplete dominance
What is when 2 different alleles for the same trait blend to make a new trait?
O, A & B
What are the phenotypes of blood?
XY
What are the male chromosome pair?
factors/genes
What controls traits?
phenotype
What is the physical characteristics of an organism?
codominance
What is when both alleles are dominant and are both expressed, there is no blending?
Antigens
What are the markers or "nametag" on the red blood cells so that the body recognizes it?
carrier
What is a female with one good and one bad allele, which codes for a disorder?
