What is the word that means "The scientific study of heredity"
What is genetics
100
What is the word that means "The passing of traits from parents to offspring"
What is heredity
100

If red flowers are RR and white flowers are WW, what is the genetic inheritance pattern if all offspring of a red and white flower are pink in color?

What is "incomplete dominance"?

100

Who is the Austrian monk often called "The Father of Genetics?"

Who is Gregor Mendel?

100

What information is absolutely essential to a Punnett Square?

What is "the parental alleles"?

200

Characteristics such as ability to taste PTC, dimples, and non-attached earlobes are examples of what?

What is "phenotypes" or "inherited traits"?

200
What word means "An allele that is expressed in an organism’s phenotype, masking the effect of the recessive allele"
What is dominant
200
Why can the height of a person be considered inherited but environmentally influenced?
What is the height of a person is based on genetics but things like nutrition play a role in how tall the person actually gets
200
What is the scientific word used for "children" in a Punnett Square?
What is "offspring"
200

What does a cross that ends with a Phenotypic ratio of 100% Red mean? R = red r = white

Punnett Square would have a cross that has R in all the squares therefore showing the dominant trait in each cross = Red

300
What word means "The set of information that controls a trait; a segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait"
What is a gene
300
What word is defined as "The different forms of a gene."
What is allele
300

If both parental phenotypes appear simultaneously and equally in the offspring's phenotype, what inheritance pattern is this?

What is "Co-dominance"? (R=red & W=white, an RW flower would show red and white petals with splashes of the other color, but not pink)

300
Acquired or Inherited? Leaf Shape
What is inherited
300
R is for Red and r is for white. What is the cross of a homozygous dominant and a heterozygous?
What is RR x Rr
400

What is the word that means "genotype of 2 different alleles"?

What is "heterozygous"

400

What is the word that means "What is the word that means "genotype of 2 identical alleles"?

What is an homozygous

400

What would the phenotypic ratio be of a long-tailed cat (LL) crossed with a short-tailed cat (LN) if this is an incompletely dominant trait?

Offspring would be 50% long-tails : 50% short-tailed cats

400
Acquired or Inherited? Athletic ability
What is acquired
400
What is the phenotypic ratio of RR x Rr? (R is for red and r is for white)
What is 100% Red
500
What is "An organism’s genetic make-up or allele combinations."
What is genotype
500
What is "An organism’s physical appearance or visible traits."?
What is phenotype
500

Give an example of a trait we have studied where multiple alleles (more than 2) are in a population.

What is "ABO blood type"? (Alleles for type A and B are dominant, type O allele is recessive)

500
Can you know a person's genotype if they are dominant in their phenotype?
What is no because they could be RR or Rr
