What is Heredity?
The passing of physical characteristics from parent to offspring
What is Heredity
This is the type of allele that always shows up
What is Dominant
The physical appearance of a trait (the visible piece)
What is a phenotype
Traits are controlled by alleles; they are passed from parent to....
What is offspring?
The scientific study of heredity
What is Genetics
This is the type of trait that, when a dominant allele is present, remains hidden
What is Recessive
The genetic makeup of an organism
What is a genotype
What does it mean if a trait has been hidden?
What is that the recessive trait is hidden by a dominant trait - it can appear in later generations
A specific characteristic; such as stem height or color of seed is called a
What is a Trait
This is a chart that shows all of the possible ways to combine alleles in a genetic cross
What is a Punnett Square
An organism that has two identical traits
(Ex: BB or bb)
What is homozygous
What did the "Father of Genetics" look at to start studying genetics
What are pea plants and flowers
This describes a factor that controls the traits
What is a Gene
What is an example of an inherited trait?
What are body type / skin color, height, freckles, eye color, etc.
An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
(Ex: Bb)
What is heterozygous
He is known as the "Father of Genetics"
Who is Gregor Mendel?
The different forms of genes (ex: BB, Bb, bb)
What are Alleles
What is an example of an acquired trait?
What are dyed hair colors, pierced ears, etc.
This occurs when one allele is only partially dominant
(Ex: a red flower and a white flower make a pink flower)
FOR YELLOW LIST ONLY! EC!
What is incomplete dominance
Two of the traits "Father of Genetics" studied
What are height of pea plants, color of pods, color of seeds, etc
