He is known as the father of genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
100
This trait will always appear.
dominant trait
100
These are the instructions for an inherited trait.
genes
100
Where are gene's located?
On chromosomes
100
This is any change in DNA.
Mutation
200
Gregor Mendel grew up on a ______________.
farm
200
This trait will recede, or go away.
recessive trait
200
These are the different forms of a gene.
alleles
200
What are chromosomes made up of?
DNA
200
What is an example of the environment affecting traits?
height, whitetail deer, arctic fox
300
What is one of the reasons Mendel used pea plants for research?
1) grow fast 2) abundance 3) cross and self pollinate
300
This is a feature that has different forms in a population.
characteristic
300
This is the organism's appearance.
phenotype
300
This is the sugar that makes up the sides of a strand of DNA.
deoxyribose
300
Whether or not a mutation is harmful depends partly upon the organism's _________________.
Environment
400
This is the passing of traits from parent to offspring.
heredity
400
This is the study of heredity.
genetics
400
This is the organism's genetic make up.
genotype
400
These are the connectors in a strand of DNA.
phosphates
400
This is when organisms with desirable traits are crossed.
selective breeding
500
How did Mendel ensure the pea plants were not self pollinating?
He removed the anthers.
500
__________________ is when the dominant and recessive trait do not overpower one another. They only blend.
incomplete dominance
500
What is the relationship between the genotype and phenotype?
The genotype determines the phenotype.
500
