Genetics
One trait will conceal the presence of another trait for the same characteristic
What is Mendel's Law of Dominance?
Traits that always show in a person even if only one gene of the pair is inherited for the trait
What is Dominant Traits?
The rarest blood type
What is AB Negetive?
The hottest planet in the solar system
What is Venus?
Earth's three layers of varying temperatures.
What is Crust, Mantel, and, Core?
A trait that is expressed only when genotype is homozygous
What is Recessive Traits?
Mendel's law that states that the pairs of homologous chromosomes separate in meiosis so that only one chromosome from each pair is present in each gamete
What is Law of Segregation?
The process by which physical and biological characteristics are transmitted from the parent (or parents) to the offspring
What is Inheritance?
Those "nonbiological" factors that are involved in a person's surroundings such as the nature of the person's parents, the person's friends, and the person's behavioral choices
What is Environmental Factors?
Offspring of crosses between parents with different traits
What is Hybrid?
The law that states that genes separate independently of one another in meiosis
What is Law of Independent Assortment?
The scientific study of heredity
What is Genetics?
When neither of two alleles is dominant over the other, they don't blend but appear together at the the same time (like A and B blood type alleles).
What is Co-dominant traits?
A chart that shows a trait in a family and how it is inherited
What is Pedigrees?
The offspring of many generations that have the same traits
What is Purebred?
A chart that shows the possible combination of alleles due to fertilization
What is Punnett Squares?
Different forms of a gene
What is Allele?
DNA segments that serve as the key functional units in hereditary transmission
What is Genes?
Describes a trait that covers over, or dominates, another form of that trait
What is Dominant?
An organism that has two different alleles for a trait
What is Heterozygous?
Physical expressions of genetic trait
What is Phenotypes?
Genetic makeup of an organism
What is Genotypes?
The production of offspring
What is Reproduction?
An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
What is Recessive?
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait
What is Homozygous?
