YOU HAVE YOUR MOTHER'S EYES
WELCOME TO THE MONESTARY
GENE AND ALLIE
WELL...PROBABLY
TAKE A CHANCE
100
THE PASSING OF TRAITS FROM PARENTS TO OFFSPRING IS
HEREDITY
100
WHO IS KNOWN AS THE FATHER OF HEREDITY?
GREGOR MENDEL
100
WHAT IS A GENE?
THE SECTION OF DNA THAT CONTROLS A TRAIT
100
WHAT IS PROBABILITY?
THE LIKELIHOOD THAT AN EVENT WILL OCCUR
100
NAME THE SCIENTIST WHO DEVELOPED THE PUNNETT SQUARE
REGINALD PUNNETT
200
WHAT IS A TRAIT?
A PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTIC
200
WHAT WAS MENDEL'S OCCUPATION?
A PRIEST
200
WHAT IS AN ALLELE?
A CERTAIN TYPE OF GENE
200
WHAT TOOL IS USED IN GENETICS TO DETERMINE PROBABILITY?
PUNNETT SQUARE
200
NAME A TRAIT THAT WAS CONSIDERED A DOMINANT TRAIT IS OUR CLASSROOM SURVEY
WIDOW'S PEAK
300
NAME AN EXAMPLE OF A PHYSICAL TRAIT
EYE COLOR, HEIGHT
300
WHAT TYPE OF PLANT DID MENDEL STUDY?
PEA PLANTS
300
NAME AN EXAMPLE OF AN ALLELE
CURLY HAIR, BLUE EYES
300
WHY IS A PUNNETT SQUARE NOT AN ABSOLUTE DETERMINER OF TRAITS?
BECAUSE IT JUST PREDICTS WHAT IS MOST LIKELY TO HAPPEN, BUT IT IS NOT 100% SURE
300
WHEN TWO OF THE SAME ALLELES ARE EXPRESSED FROM A PARENT, THE ALLELES ARE CALLED
HOMOZYGOUS
400
THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF HEREDITY IS CALLED
GENETICS
400
WHAT HAPPENED WHEN MENDEL CROSSED A TALL PLANT WITH A SHORT PLANT?
ALL TALL IN FIRST GENERATION, 3 TALL AND 1 SHORT IN SECOND GENERATION
400
AN ALLELE THAT IS ALWAYS SEEN WHEN IT IS PRESENT IS CALLED A
DOMINANT ALLELE
400
DESCRIBE AN EXPERIMENT OR A GAME IN WHICH PROBABILITY IS USED
TOSSING A COIN, LOTTERY
400
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF CODOMINANCE
WHEN NEITHER ALLELE IS DOMINANT AND BOTH ALLELES ARE EXPRESSED
500
WHAT MIGHT BE A MOTIVATION FOR A BREEDER OR A GARDNER TO CROSS POLLINATE A CERTAIN PLANT OR TO BREED TWO CERTAIN ANIMALS?
TO OBTAIN A CERTAIN COMBINATION OF COLORS OR TO RAISE A CERTAIN TYPE OF ANIMAL OR PET
500
WHAT IS THE APPROXIMATE YEAR OF MENDEL'S WORK? HOW LONG IT HE STUDY PEA PLANTS?
1851 AND TEN YEARS
500
A TYPE OF ALLELE THAT IS PRESENT BUT IS MASKED, OR CANNOT BE SEEN IS CALLED A
RECESSIVE ALLELE
500
DESCRIBE HOW PROBABILITY IS RELATED TO GENETICS
SCIENTISTS CAN PREDICT WHAT TRAITS WILL PROBABLY BE EXPRESSED BASED ON THE TRAITS OF THE PARENTS
500
WHEN TWO DIFFERENT ALLELES ARE EXPRESSED, THE ALLELES ARE CONSIDERED
HETEROZYGOUS
