Fun Facts
What percentage of our DNA do we share with a banana? (for 50 pts What is the tool we use to predict the probability of the potential Offspring)
60% (Punnett Square)
An observable or physical characteristic.
Phenotype
What is the probability of an offspring being heterozygous if parent 1 is FF and parent 2 is ff?
100%
If a child has a dominant trait, what is the probability that both parents were homozygous recessive for the trait?
0%
If a person has a Heterozygous genotype, there will be two of the same alleles.
False
Which animated movie was the first to be completely computer-generated?
Toy Story
The genetic makeup of an organism (what determines the phenotype)
Genotype
If floppy ears are dominant, what is the phenotypic probability that Parent 1, Gg, and Parent 2, gg, will have offspring with floppy ears?
50%
If Parent 1 has the genotype BB and the offspring has the genotype Bb, what are possible genotypes for parent 2?
Bb or bb
The Father of Genetics is Howie Mandel
False
What is the most-streamed song of all time on Spotify?
Shape of You - Ed Sheeran
A variant form of a gene.
Allele
If parent 1, Hh, and parent 2, Hh, reproduced, what would the probability be of them having a child with a homozygous recessive genotype?
25%
Having long toes is a recessive trait. Parent 1 has short toes and the offspring has long toes. What is the genotype of Parent 1?
Tt - heterozygous
The recessive trait can be shown having the genotypes Homozygous Recessive and Heterozygous
False
Which country has the most time zones?
200 pt Bonus: How many time zones does it have?
Russia
11 time zones
This is the law where only one allele can be passed down by a parent, not both of their alleles.
Law of Segregation
If a short neck is recessive, what would the probability of parent 1, BB, and parent 2, BB, having a short neck offspring?
0%
Wrinkled seed shape is a recessive trait. If parent 1 and the offspring both have a wrinkled seed shape, what is the phenotype and genotype of parent 2?
Wrinkled - ww - homozygous recessive
The Law of Dominance states that a dominant allele will mask a recessive allele.
True
Which NFL team won the first-ever Super Bowl?

What is a Haploid or Gamete
Green seeds are dominant to yellow seeds, and round seeds are dominant to wrinkled seeds. What are the ratios of the possible phenotypes if I cross two heterozygous individuals?
9:3:3:1
What is the genotypic probability of Parent 2 being heterozygous if Parent 1 is homozygous dominant and the offspring is heterozygous?
50%
A hybrid is a heterozygous individual, and a purebred is a homozygous individual.
True
