What is heredity?
The passage of genetic instructions (traits) from parent to offspring.
100

The molecule that contains the genetic instructions for living organisms.

What is DNA?

100
Some genes can be hidden or covered up by another. These are considered to be-
Recessive

How are traits passed from parent to offspring?

Through genes during reproduction

Where are genes located?
DNA

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

What is the punnet square used for?
To determine the outcome of genetic crossings.

Why does a Punnet Square use capital and lowercase letters?

Ee

Two dark brown rabbits have four offspring. Three of the offspring are dark and one is white. What does this tell you about the parents' genes for fur color?

Dark brown is dominant and white fur is recessive. Both parents are heterozygous.
