Inherited traits are passed down from our parents to us, their offspring, by the information that is coded in our parents'__________.
chromosomes

What % of offspring will be recessive?
25%
In horses, black (B) is the dominant color; brown (b) is the recessive color. Cross two heterozygous black horse parents.
What is the probability that these two horses will have a child that is brown?
25% brown (bb)
75% black
Using the letter H, write the genotypes for heterozygous, homozygous recessive and homozygous dominant.
heterozygous- Hh
homozygous recessive- hh
homozygous dominant- HH
In pole beans, green pods (G) are a dominant trait, while yellow pods (g) are a recessive trait. A bean plant with a (GG) genotype is crossed with a second plant that has the (gg) genotype. If this cross produces 500 offspring, approximately how many of the offspring will have yellow pods?
0 yellow
In what organelle is the DNA stored?
nucleus

What percent are heterozygous?
50%
This black dog has the genotype of (BB) for fur color. The black dog mates and has puppies with a solid white dog. The white dog has the genotype (bb).
What is the probability that this match will produce puppies that are black?
100% black puppies
0% white
What is a purebred?
Organism that has a genotype of homozygous dominant or homozygous recessive.
In pole beans, green pods (G) are a dominant trait, while yellow pods (g) are a recessive trait. A bean plant with a GG genotype is crossed with a second plant that has the gg genotype. If this cross produces 100 offspring, approximately how many of the offspring will have green pods?
100 green
A section of DNA that codes for a specific trait is called what?
a gene

What % are purebread (homozygous) dominant?
RR - 25%
What genotypes express the dominant form of a trait?
HH- homozygous dominant
Hh- heterozygous
Suppose a mother carries two recessive genes for freckles (rr) and a father carries one recessive gene for freckles and one dominant gene for clear facial skin (Rr). What is the likelihood that their first child will have freckles?
50% (ff) freckles
Brown rabbits have the genotype BB or Bb. White rabbits have the genotype bb.
If two heterozygous brown rabbits have baby rabbits, what is the probability that the baby rabbits will also be brown?
75% brown
The genetic material of all living things
DNA

what % of offspring will express the dominant trait in their phenotype?
75%
In rabbits, B represents the allele for black coat and b represents the allele for white coat. Black is dominant over white. If a rabbit has the genotype Bb, what is the rabbit's phenotype?
black
Suppose a mother carries two recessive genes for freckles (rr) and a father carries one recessive gene for freckles and one dominant gene for clear facial skin (Rr). What is the likelihood that their first child will NOT have freckles?
50%
What does it mean to be purebred?
Either both Capital Letters (BB) or both recessive (bb)
DNA contains genes that are passed from _________ to _________.
from parent to offspring

What are the genotypes of the parents?
Rr
In rabbits, B represents the allele for black coat and b represents the allele for white coat. Black is dominant over white. If a rabbit has the genotype bb, what is the rabbit's phenotype?
white
What is a hybrid?
Hybrid means one dominant allele and one recessive allele.
Example: Bb
What is the probaility of the offspings if one parent is recessive white fur and the other parent is heterozygous brown fur.
50% white, bb
50% brown, Bb
