Create a Punnett square for the following cross...


GG x Gg

Offspring: GG, GG,Gg, Gg

100

How many parents are involved in Asexual Reproduction? 

One parent.

100

If you are given a fraction 2/4 what percentage would that be?

50%

100

Define Phenotype and give one example.

A set of observable traits.

Blue flowers, curly hair etc

100

What name was Gregor Mendel given?

"Father of Genetics"

200

1.Create a Punnett square for the following cross.

Gg x gg

2.Calculate the % dominant phenotype and % recessive phenotype.

Offspring possibilities: Gg, gg, gg, Gg


% Dominant Phenotype: 50%

% Recessive Phenotype: 50%

200

How many parents are involved in Sexual Reproduction?

Two parents.

200

If you are given the decimal 0.75


What would that decimal be in percent form?

75%

200

Define Genotype and list the three different genotypes names and representation in letter form.

An organisms genetic information

Heterozygous: Hh

Homozygous Recessive: hh

Homozygous Dominant: HH

200

What are genes?

Segments of DNA
300

1. Create a Punnett Square using the letter of your choice between a Homozygous Dominant Parent and a Homozygous Recessive Parent.

2. Calculate the % dominant phenotype and % recessive phenotype.


Offspring Possibilities: Gg (all 4)


% Dominant Phenotype: 100%

%Recessive Phenotype: 0%

300

What are the differences between offspring created by Asexual Reproduction and offspring created by Sexual Reproduction?

Sexual Reproduction: Offspring are different from each other.

Asexual Reproduction: Offspring are identical.

300

10/20 people can roll their tongue.

1.Convert the fraction into a decimal.

2. Convert the decimal into a percentage.

1. 10 divided by 20 = 0.50

2. 0.50 X 100 = 50%

50% of people can roll their tongue.

300

What are the definitions of a recessive allele and a dominant allele?

Dominant Allele: The allele that masks the effect of the recessive allele.


Recessive Allele: The allele that is masked by the dominant allele.

300
What did Gregor Mendel Study? What living thing did he use as a model?

The patterns of inheritance using pea plants as a model

400

CO DOMINANCE: RR= Red Flowers Rr=Pink Flowers

rr=White Flowers

Create a Punnett Square for the following cross...

RR x Rr

List all possible phenotypes of the offspring (Names NOT percentages)

Offspring Possibilities: RR, RR, Rr, Rr


Two possible Red Flowers

Two possible Pink flowers


400
List the steps of Asexual Reproduction...


(HINT: Make sure to include what happens with the genes)

1.The singular parent copies it genes.

2. The parent splits in half

3. Two identical offspring now exist. 

400

Using the following equation ( "/" mean division)

Equation:

# of people with trait/# of people in the total x 100 = _________%

Calculate how many people are right handed and how many are left handed...

30/100 people are right handed.


30 people are right handed/ 100 people total= 0.30

0.30 X 100 = 30% people are right handed

100-30 = 70% are left handed

400

What is the definition of Heredity?

Traits that have been passed down from biological parents to their offspring

400

What does the circle in a pedigree chart represent?


What does a square in a pedigree chart represent?

Circle: Female

Square: Male

500

CO Dominance EXAMPLE: 

Homozygous Dominant= Brown

Homozygous Recessive= Blue

Heterozygous= Green

Create a Punnett Square using a letter of your choice for a Heterozygous and Homozygous Recessive cross.

List all possible phenotypes of the offspring (Names not percentages)

Offspring Possibilities: Gg, Gg,gg, gg


Possible Phenotypes: Two Green and Two blue

500

TRUE OR FALSE: In sexual reproduction ALL of one parents alleles are mixed with ALL of another parents.

FALSE. Half of parents alleles are passed down to reproductive cells (Eggs and Sperm). These will be randomly combined to create an offspring. 

500

Using the following equation ( "/" mean division)

Equation:

# of people with trait/# of people in the total x 100 = _________%

Calculate how many people are right handed and how many are left handed...

5/20 people are right handed.



5 right handed/20 people total= 0.25

0.25 x 100 = 25% of people are right handed

100 - 25 = 75% people are left handed

500

What is it called when both the recessive phenotype and dominant phenotype are shown?

Codominance

500

Draw a pedigree chart that includes three generations. 


You must have a set of three kids in one part of your pedigree chart.

Draw together...
