Gregor Mendel
what is when organisms only donate one copy of each gene in their gamete and when organisms inherit two copies of each gene,one from each parent ?
what is the law of segregation?
What is a grid system for predicting all possible genotypes resulting from a cross?
What is a punnett square?
what is the exchange of chromosome segments between homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis I ?
what is crossing over?
The likelihood that a particular event will occur
What is probability?
A piece of DNA that provides a set of instructions to a cell to make a certain protein.
What is a gene?
what is alleles pairs that separate independently of each other during gamete formation, or meiosis?
what is the law of independent assortment?
The result of a cross between an homozygous dominate and a homozygous recessive plant.
What is heterozygous?
Two of the same alleles at a specific locus.
What is homozygous?
The alleles that appear when two different alleles are present, or one allele is dominant; The alleles that appear when two of the same alleles are present.
What are dominant and recessive alleles?
All of an organisms genes.
What is a genome?
An Australian monk who created the general understanding of genetics.
Who is Gregor Mendel?
Crosses that examine the inheritance of only one specific trait.
What is a monohybrid cross?
Two different alleles at a specific locus.
What is heterozygous?
Genetically uniform.
What is purebred?
The mating of two organisms.
What is a cross?
The study of biological inheritance patterns and variation in organisms.
What is genetics?
A cross between an organism with an unknown genotype and an organism with recessive genotypes.
What is testcross?
What is genes located close together that tend to be inherited together?
What is genetic linkage?
Distinguishing characteristics that are inherited.
What are traits?
what is the physical characteristics, or traits of an individual organism?
what is Phenotype?
Chosen for his experiments because they are easy to control and mate.
What are pea plants?
The results of a cross between two heterozygous organisms.
What is homozygous dominate, heterozygous, heterozygous, and homozygous recessive?
number of ways a specific event can occur/number of total possible outcomes.
What is probability?
Its goal was to find out the sequence of the 3 billion nucleotide pairs that make up a humans genome.
What is the Human Genome Project?
What is the genetic makeup of a specific set of genes?
What is Genotype?
