If a plant has a genotype of "Tt," what does the "T" represent in terms of dominance?
What is a dominant allele
How many boxes are in a simple Punnett square for a monohybrid cross?
What are 4 boxes

Budding, Fragmentation , Vegatative Propagation, Binary Fission, Parthenogenesis, Regenration , Reproduction , Cloning
Which part of the cell contains the chromosomes that carry genetic information
what is the nucleus
Who is known as the father of genetics for his work with pea plants?
Gregor Mendel
What do we call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait?
What is the dominant trait
In a Punnett square, what do the letters along the top represent?
what are the alleles of one parent?
Which process produces offspring from two parents?
Sexual Reproduction
What do we call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait
what is heterozygous
What is the term for an organism's genetic makeup?
What is genotype
What is the term used to describe a genetic trait that only shows up when two recessive alleles are present?
what is a recessive trait?
In a typical Punnett square, what do the letters along the top and side represent?
What are the alleles of the parents?
How does the DNA of an asexually reproducing plant relate to its parent(s)?
What is the main goal of genetic engineering?
What is to modify an organism's DNA
What is the process called when an organism receives two different alleles for a trait, one from each parent?
what is inheritance
n a genetic cross between two heterozygous individuals (Tt x Tt), what percentage of the offspring would be expected to express the recessive trait?
What is 25%
If you cross a homozygous dominant plant (AA) with a homozygous recessive plant (aa), what will be the genotype of the offspring?
What is 100% Aa
Describe one MAJOR difference between asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction requires two parents, but asexual requires one.
What is the phenomenon called when two alleles for a trait are both expressed equally in a heterozygous individual?
What is cododominance?
What is the term for a genetic disorder that is inherited in a recessive pattern and requires both parents to carry the allele for it to be expressed in the offspring?
What is a recessive genetic disorder
f a true-breeding tall pea plant (TT) is crossed with a short pea plant (tt), what will be the phenotype of the F1 generation?
What is all tall plants?
If a plant with genotype Bb is crossed with a plant with genotype bb, what percentage of the offspring will be expected to express the dominant trait?
What is 50%
This process, commonly found in bacteria, involves the division of a single organism into two or more genetically identical offspring,
