Heredity
The passing of traits from parent to offspring
What is heredity?
A rigid structure that surrounds and protects
What is a cell wall
father of genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel?

What is pure?
head, tail and feet are darker
What are the darker body parts on a Siamese cat?
places on chromosomes that control traits
What is genes?
I convert sunlight into food
What is Chloroplast?
factor that covers up another factor, you get a blending.
What is dominant?

What is hybrid?
color depends on temperature change cold white, warm brown.
What is the Artic Fox?
differences among a species for a particular trait
varitions
I regulate what goes in and out
What is a Cell Membrane?
genetic makeup of an organism
What is geneotype?
the different forms of a trait that a gene may have.
What is alleles
handy tool used to predict genetics
What is the Punnett Square?
the genes that has two different alleles for a trait
What is heterozygous?
package and distribute stuff
What is Golgi body?
both traits show up equally, not blended
What is co dominance?
if the genes are pure or if one dominant and one recessive gene is present.
What are 2 ways a dominant trait can show up?
tracing traits through a family.
What is a Pedigree?
a gene that does not show up but is present
What is a carried gene ?
gelatin like fluid part of a cell
What is cytoplasam?
occurs when a group of gene pairs acts together to produce a trait.
What is polygenic inheritance?
lower case letters are used
What letter case do we use for recessive genes?
Palomino horse
What do you get when you breed a Chestnut horse and a Cremello horse?
