1851
What year did Mendel enter the university of Vienna to study science and mathematics?
100
Genotype
An organisms genetic makeup
100
When both alleles for a gene are expressed in a heterozygous offspring
When does codominance occur?
100
Probability
The likelihood that a specific event will occur
200
Trait
A genetically determined of a characteristic such as a yellow colored flower
200
Gregor Mendel
Who discovered genetics?
200
Phenotype
An organisms appearance
200
A cross when two characteristics are tracked
What is a Dihybrid cross?
200
Number of times an event is expected to happen divided by number of times an event could happen
What is the probability equation
300
Pollination
Occurs when pollen grains produce in the male reproductive parts of a flower are transferred to the female reproductive part of a flower
300
Pea Plants
What plant did Mendel use to watch the cycle of pollination?
300
Homozygous
When both alleles of a pair are alike
300
Test cross
Which an individual unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual, can be used to determine the genotype an individual whose phenotype expresses the dominant trait
300
Genotypic ratio
The ratio of the temp type that appear in an offspring
400
Self pollination
Occurs when pollen is transferred from the anthers of a flower to the stigma of either that flower or another flower
400
F1 generation
What did he call the offspring of the P generation the first filial generation
400
Heterozygous
When 2 alleles in a pair are different
400
Monohybrid cross
A cross in which one characteristic is tracked
400
Test cross
An individual of unknown genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual
500
P generation
The first two individuals that mate in a genetic cross.
500
Producing a true bread P generation. Producing a F1 generation. Producing a F2 generation.
What were the steps of Mendels experiment
500
Dihybrid cross
A cross in which 2 characteristics are tracked
500
Punnett square
What can be used to predict the outcome of genetic crosses?
500
Codominance
When both alleles for a gene are expressed in a heterzygous offspring
