Basic Genetics
Study of how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
Genetics
Different versions of the same gene.
Allele
Chart used to predict offspring traits.
Punnett Square
Molecule carrying genetic info.
DNA
Characteristic passed from parents.
Traits
Passing of traits from parents to children.
Heredity
Allele that always shows.
Dominant
Letter used to represent genes.
Gene symbol (letter)/ Allele / Genotype
Structures carrying DNA.
Chromosomes
Differences among individuals.
Variation
Visible traits like eye color.
Phenotype
Allele that only shows with two copies.
Recessive
Chance of offspring trait.
Probability
Basic unit of life
Cell
Sudden DNA change.
Mutation
What determines the organism's phenotype?
What is their Genotype
Two identical alleles.
Homozygous
RR is considered
rr is considered.
Homozygous Dominant--- Homozygous Recessive
Cell division making identical cells.
Mitosis
2 factors that influence an organism's growth
Genetic factors & Environmental Factors
Father of Genetics.
Gregor Mendel
Two Different Alleles
Heterozygous
Bb
Heterozygous
Process making gametes.
Meiosis
