Don't be a square!
A tool to help predict the probability of what genes parents will pass onto offspring
What is a punnet square?
The gene that is expressed with only one copy being needed.
What is dominant?
Offspring are the result of this.
Reproduction yields what?
Inserting a gene into someone's body cells involves this process.
What is gene therapy?
This is the male part of the flower.
What is the stamen?
The chance that offspring have the dominant phenotype when a RR parent is crossed with rr
What is an uppercase or capital letter?
This type of reproduction requires only 1 organism.
What is asexual repoduction?
A genetic disorder caused by a mutation to a single gene that causes sticky mucus to coat the lungs.
What is cystic fibrosis?
This can be a bee or a butterfly or a bird and carries genetic material from flower to flower.
What is a pollinator?
A heterozygous big plant (Bb) is crossed with a homozygous big plant (BB). What is the percentage chance that the plant will be Bb?
What is 50%?
The genotype for a pea plants with round peas, which are recessive and represented by the letter R.
What is rr?
This results in organisms that are genetically distinct from their parents.
What is sexual reproduction?
This is when cells are taken out of the body, modified, and then reinserted to the body.
Flowers that are long and tube like, and white are pollinated by what?
What is a moth?
The chance that a double recessive genotype is received by the offspring when Heterozygous parents are crossed.
What is 25% or 1/4?
The phenotype for a Rr would be this.
What is dominant phenotype?
The offspring resulting from asexual reproduction are this.
What are clones?
A chinese scientist did gene editing on this, allowing for every cell in the body to be immune to HIV.
What is an embryo?
The female part of the flower that is usually a long tube connecting the eggs to the top opening.
What is the style?
A punnett square that involves crossing two traits has this many squares to list genotypes.
What is 16 squares?
Heterozygous individuals will always give this phenotype.
What is dominant?
This is the reason sexual reproduction is considered a valuable way of making a population of organisms resilient against many different threats.
What is genetic variation?
This is what CRISPR stands for.
What is Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats?
