GENETICS

Genetics 1

100

How many dominant alleles are needed for a particular trait to show up?

1

200

What is another word for heterozygous?

hybrid

300

What did Gregor Mendel cross-pollinate in his genetics experiments?

Plants / pea plants

400

This is a number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur.

Probability

500

What is another word for purebred?

homozygous

Genetics 2

100

Neither trait is dominant over the other and the two blend together.

Incomplete Dominance

200

This was the scientist who first began studying heredity and genetics.

Gregor Mendel

300

This occurs when 2 traits are neither dominant nor recessive, both show up.

co-dominant / codominance

400

This type of organism has 2 dominant alleles for a trait.

Homozygous dominant

500

according to incomplete dominance If a white flower and red flower are crossed, what color would the offspring be?

Pink...due to blending of the traits because of incomplete dominance in flower colors.

punnett square

100

This is an organism's physical appearance.

Phenotype

200

each box in a punnett square represents what probability of it being displayed 

25 

300

define genotype 

what the alleles of genetics are ex: GG

400

A TT (tall) planet mixes with a tt( short) plant, what is the probability of thier offspring being tall 

100%

500

A AB blood type mixes with a AA blood type, what is the probability of their offspring having type B blood 

0%

random

100

what occurs when genes change randomly 

genetic drift 

200

according to codominance if a red flower mixed with a white flower the offspring would be what color(s)

red and white 

300

according to natural selection what kind of traits will survive over time 

superior traits and allow for better survival 

400

if a fox moved to a hot desert what would happen to the size of its ears over time 

get bigger to release heat 

500

what kind of blood type is recessive 

ii (o blood type)
