Genetic Basics
The Father of Genetics
Gregor Mendel
Requires no fertilization to reproduce
What is asexual Reproduction
What the cell splitting in half to form two new cells is called
What is cytokinesis
The genotype for recessive green eyes (g)
What is gg
What are mutations
The physical appearance of an Allele
What is phenotype
Bacteria is an example of this type of asexual reproduction
What is Binary Fission
P.M.A.T. meaning
Percentage of offspring that will have Brown eyes (B) if you cross parents with genotypes - BB x bb
What is 100%
This includes selective breeding
What is Artificial Selection
Bb represents this genotype
What is Heterozygous
Offspring are identical to the parent
What is Asexual reproduction
The gametes contain this many chromosomes
What is 23 chromosomes
The genotype of a heterozygous parent with recessive (b) blue eyes.
What is Bb
Genes are segments of DNA found on
Segments of DNA
What are Genes
Offspring are genetically different from their parents
The process ends producing 4 daughter cells.
Meiosis
Bb, cc, TT, rr and Pp, Which of these genotypes will produce a recessive trait
What are cc and rr
Producing an organism that is genetically identical.
What is cloning
This trait will always be expressed if present
What is Dominant Trait
An advantage of this process of reproduction is greater genetic variation
What is sexual reproduction
Types of cells that divide by mitosis
What are somatic or body cells
Rr and RR. Which of these will produce the dominant trait
What is both
The con of working with DNA is that it can have unintended consequences
What is a Genetically Modified Organism
