What is the term for physical traits?
phenotype
Purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers. Write the genotype for a white flower.
If P = purple flowers and p = white flowers, then white flowers has a genotype of pp.
Tall stems (T) are dominant to short stems. The offspring are all short stemmed. What are the genotypes of the parents?
If T = tall stem and t = short stem, then both parents are tt.
Enzymes are made of which macromolecule: A) Carbohydrates B) Proteins C) Lipids D) Nucleic Acids
B) Proteins
What is the term for the combination of alleles that parents pass to their offspring?
genotype
Tall stems (T) are dominant to short stems. Write the possible genotypes to represent tall stems
If you are using T for tall - TT or Tt
Long hair (L) is dominant to short hair in cats. Two cats mate and always produce long haired kittens. One parent has short hair. What is the genotype of the other parent?
L = long hair and l = short hair. If one parent has short hair (ll), then the other parent must be LL to always have kids that have long hair.
Transcription occurs where
In the nucleus
The term for having two identical alleles for a gene
homozygous
Who is the founder/father of genetics?
Mendel
The term for a form of a trait
allele
Having brown eyes is dominant to having green eyes and having freckles is dominant to not having freckles. In fractions, how many offspring will have brown eyes but no freckles if the one parent is heterozygous for brown eyes but has no freckles and the other parent has green eyes and is heterozygous for freckles? You can set the timer to 4 minutes!

This part of the cell is responsible for controlling what enters or leaves the cell
Cell membrane/ Plasma membrane
The term for having two different alleles for a gene
heterozygous
In tomatoes, red fruit (R) is dominant to yellow fruit and long vines (L) are dominant short vines. If both parents are heterozygous for red fruit and long vines what is the probability in fractions that they would produce offspring that have red fruit and long vines? You can set the timer to 4 minutes!

Name a difference between mitosis and meiosis
Possible answers: mitosis produces 2 identical diploid cells and meiosis produces 4 different haploid cells. Mitosis divides somatic cells and meiosis divides gametes. Meiosis undergoes 2 divisions and mitosis goes through one division. Crossing over only occurs in meiosis, not mitosis.
