What is genetics?

The study of heredity.

100

What is heredity?

The passage of genetic instructions (traits) from parent to offspring.

100
AA, BB, cc, ff, bb are examples of what?
What are homozygous genotypes?
100

Some genes can be hidden or covered up by another. These are considered to be- (are present in genotypes but not displayed in the phenotype)

Recessive

100

Replicate this DNA strand:

GGT-ACG-CGT-AAT

CCA-TGC-GCA-TTA

200

Where are genes located?

In the DNA or Chromosome

200

Who first studied heredity and the passage of traits from one generation to the next?

Gregor Mendel

200

The Expression of a trait. (Physical Trait)

Phenotype

200

What is the punnet square used for?

To determine the possibility of offspring's genetic makeup.

200

What are characteristics?

Examples: hair color, eye color, height, skin color, etc... What is a feature that has different forms in a population?

300

Certain parts of DNA that code for a trait.

Genes

300
What type of organism did Gregor Mendel use to first study heredity?
Pea Plants
300

For some traits, only one copy of a particular gene is needed to show a given trait. These genes are referred to as________ and are stronger.

Dominate Traits

300
A black chicken (BB) is crossed with a black chicken (BB). What percentage of offspring will be black?
100%
300

What do capital and lowercase letters represent in genotypes? Example: Aa, BB, Dd, CC, Ll

Capital = Dominant Trait Lower Case = Recessive Trait

400

Define: allele

pairs or series of genes on a chromosome that determine the hereditary characteristics. An example of an allele is the gene that determines hair color.

400

The physical trait observed in an offspring is known as it's -

Phenotype

400

The trait that is most likely to disappear in the first generation?

What are recessive traits?

400
Having dimples is dominant (D). Not having dimples is recessive. (d) Both parents are heterozygous for the dominant trait. What percentage of the children will NOT have dimples?
25%
400

What would be the Amino Acid Chain for this set of DNA instructions.

ACC-TTA-GAG-ACT

RNA:UGG-AAU-CUC-UGA

Amino Chain: Tryptophan-Asparagine-Leucine-Stop

500

What do we call the genetic make up of the individual, represented by a set of letters?

Genotype

500

What is the trait that would be present in this Genotype?

aa

Recessive Trait

500

The process when the Ribosome reads RNA nucleotides, grabs amino acids, and builds proteins

Translation

500

Long ears are dominant (E) in rabbits. If one parent is homozygous dominant for the long ear trait and the other homozygours reccessive (e), what is the only possible genotype of the offspring?

Ee

500

Dark brown is dominant and white fur is recessive. Both parents are heterozygous. What will be the percentage of dark fur and the percentage of white fur for the offspring?

Two dark brown rabbits have four offspring. Three of the offspring are dark (75%) and one is white (25%).
