Grendel Mendel
Father of Genetics
Who is Gregor Mendel?
Method Mendel used to record his data
What is mathematics or numbers?
The combination of alleles is known as this. (GG, Gg, gg for example)
What is genotype?
Egg and sperm join in this process.
What is fertilization?
Type of letters that represent a dominant trait.
What is upper case?
Type of plants produced by 2 purebred pea plants.
What is a hybrid?
Cross of only ONE specific trait.
What is a monohybrid cross?
Different forms of a gene.
What are alleles?
Having 2 DIFFERENT alleles for a trait (He or Ho)
What is heterozygous?
Number of different TRAITS Mendel observed in pea plants.
What is 7?
The physical appearance or expression of a trait.
What is phenotype?
Trait that does not appear when a dominant allele is present.
What is recessive?
The passing of characteristics from parent to offspring
What is heredity
True-breeding means the same thing as this term.
What is purebred?
Having two of the SAME alleles for a trait
What is homozygous?
Method used to predict the possible outcome of a genetic cross.
What is a Punnett Square?
A cross of TT x tt (tall/short) will produce plants with ONLY this appearance.
What is tall?
Organisms Mendel used in his experiments
What are pea plants?
Genetic makeup of an organism
What is genotype
A cross of 2 heterozygous plants (Bb x Bb) will always produce this proportion.
What is 75% dominant and 25% recessive?
Allele that always hides the recessive trait from appearing.
What is a dominant allele?
First filial means this.
What is the F1 generation?
