What did Gregor Mendel study?


Pea plants (pollination of them).
100
"contracting muscles and organs" is known as
movement
100

Examples of phenotype

Specific characteristic that varies from one individual to another (height, seed texture, eye color).

100
What is Incomplete Dominance?

Neither allele is completely shown/dominant of the other (a mixture of blending of the two).

100
What is a Punnett Square?
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).
200
Gregor Mendel founded the Theory of Evolution.

True or False.

False.
200
What does "True Breeding" create?
A purebred 
200
Define Allele.

Different form of a gene.

200
What is Codominance?

Two equally dominant alleles are expressed at the same time (Ex: dots, etc...).

TEACHER TRIVIA!!! What year did Ms. Wyant graduate from IJSHS 

2018

300
In his studies, Gregor Mendel found out that pea plants normally reproduce by...
Self Pollination
300
What is Self Pollination?
Pollen fertilizes flower of the same plant.
300

What is a Dominant and Recessive allele?

A Dominant Allele is the allele that will always be expressed (Uppercase), and a Recessive allele is, when coded, will only be expressed when both alleles are recessive (Lowercase).

300
SnapDragons are often referred to when explaining Incomplete Dominance.  If you have a Heterozygous pair (Blue and Yellow), what will the resulting phenotype be?

Green (Blue + Yellow = Green .-.)

300
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?
50%
400

What is the common nickname that Gregor Mendel is referred to?

The father of Genetics. OR papa peas

400

RIDDLE!!! The more of this there is, the less you see. What is it? 

Darkness

400
Define Heterozygous and Homozygous?
Heterozygous is having two of the same trait and Homozygous is when there are two different traits.
400

speckled chickens are another example of...

Incomplete Dominance.

RIDDLE!!! What gets wet while drying? 

A towel 

500

Approximately how many pea plants did Gregor Mendel experiement on? GUESS

Around 29,000.

500
Why is it said that Sexual reproduction is preferred in organisms and species?
Sexual Reproduction is favored because of genetic variation.  Asexual reproduction within organisms will generate the exact same organism which can pass down genetic disorders (this is also true in "inbreeding").
500

True or False.

When organisms like plants have the same phenotypes such as color, must have the same genotypes.

False.
500

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? And how will they be expressed? 

The offspring will be (WR) or (RW) and will have white or red dots.

Extra Credit! If you get this question right then you'll receive extra credit for your grade.

What must an organism do to be deemed biologically successful?

An organisms offspring must reproduce itself.

(Your grandparents are biologically successful).
