Gregor Mendel
What did Gregor Mendel study?
What is pea plants?
If a homozygous dominant individual mated with a homozygous recessive individual what will the genotypes of the offsprings?
What is 100% heterozygous?
Specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another (height, seed texture, eye color).
What is a trait
Neither allele is completely shown/dominant of the other (a mixture of blending of the two).
What is Incomplete Dominance?
Combination of phenotypes and genotypes in a genetic cross (a box of letters that has a lot of letters for finding more letters about an organism).
What is a Punnett Square?
What three laws did Mendel come up with?
What is the law of segregation, law of independent assortment, and law of dominance?
What does "True Breeding" create?
What is a purebred ?
Different forms of a gene
What is an allele
Two equally dominant alleles are expressed at the same time (Ex: dots, etc...).
What is Codominance?
Skin color is an example of a
What is Polygenic trait?
In his studies, Gregor Mendel found out that pea plants normally reproduce by...
What Self Pollination (or asexual reproduction)?
The allele that will always be expressed in mendelian genetics
What is the dominant allele?
SnapDragons are often referred to when explaining Incomplete Dominance. If you have a Heterozygous pair (Blue and Yellow), what will the resulting phenotype be?
What is Green?
(Blue + Yellow = Green)
In Mendelian Genetics, if a pea plant which is Heterozygous Red (Rr) cross-pollinates with one that is Homozygous Green (rr) what is the percentage that the offspring will be Green?
WHat is 50%
What is the common nickname that Gregor Mendel is referred to?
What is the father of Genetics.
What is 50% red, 50% black?
Having one of each trait
What is heterozygous?
In chickens, you can have black, white, or spotted. What pattern does this represent?
What is Codominance?
Before the F1 Generation, there is the...
What is P Generation (Parent Generation).
In a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous individuals, what does the phenotypic outcome always have to be?
What is 9:3:3:1?
This type of reproduction creates genetic variation.
What is Sexual Reproduction.
Disorder that is more common in males.
On a farm there are two horses, one being Homozygous White (WW) and the other being Homozygous Red (RR). What will the offsprings resulting phenotype be if they showed Codominance?
What is 100% RW, red and white.
Bell curves are used to show this type of inheritance
What is Polygenic?
