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 white 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
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
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 dominant?
RR - 25%
what does heterozygous mean?
one capital letter one lower case...still takes on the dominant trait
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 take on the dominant trait?
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
What doe sit mean to be Homozygous?
Either both Capital Letters (BB) or both recessive (bb)
DNA contains genes that are passed from _________ to _________.
from parents 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 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
