the organelle where the DNA is housed in the cell
What is the nucleus?
the word that refers to what a trait looks like, or how it is expressed
What is phenotype?
The chance of a long tail on a baby if two monsters (both heterozygous) with long tails mate
what is 75%
the term for when the heterozygous trait is a mix (an average) of the two dominant traits
What is incomplete dominance?
the way that people have separated dogs into specific types with particular traits for shows
What is selective breeding?
The base that pairs with Guanine
What is cytosine?
the different versions of a particular gene - offspring get two of these for each gene (one from each parent)
What are alleles?
What the peas of the parent at the top of this punnett square looked like
What is round and yellow?
the type of inheritance shown when a blue flower and a red flower have purple offspring
What is incomplete dominance?
other than cloning, this is the way to get an offspring genetically identical to the parent
what is asexual reproduction?
the specific piece of DNA that determines a trait
what is a gene?
the term for when an organism has two of the same alleles for a trait
What is homozygous?
the black sheep's genotype if this pair has any white lambs
What is heterozygous?
the type of inheritance that allows for traits to show up like this:
What is codominance?
when organisms that are closely related and likely to share many traits are mated
What is inbreeding?
the process by which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells
what is mitosis?
The kind of allele that makes a heterozygous baby have the same phenotype as at least one parent
What is a dominant allele?
Given this inheritance pattern:
the percentage of the offspring of a pink flower and a white flower that would be pink
What is 50%?
the pattern of inheritance that allows for a wide range of phenotypes like these
What is polygenic inheritance?
animals like mules are created by this process
what is hybridization?
the type of cell division that results in haploid cells
What is meiosis?
What is homozygous recessive?
the reason that the birds on the right cannot have blue babies
What is, the red bird is homozygous?
the type of inheritance which gives more than two options for each of the 2 alleles an individual inherits
example:
What is multiple alleles?
usually done to improve health, this is the adding or removal of specific genes
What is gene therapy?
the reason that most animals' have cells capable of doing meiosis
What is to make sperm and egg cells for sexual reproduction
the relationship of all other fur colors to the brown fur
What is they are all recessive?
the number of possible phenotypes in a dihybrid cross if both parents are heterozygous for both traits
What is 4?
blood type is a trait with three possible alleles IA, IB, and i.
If a family has 4 children and they each have a different blood type (A, B, AB, and O) you know both parents must be this
What is heterozygous?
This process can be very risky with crops because they will all be vulnerable to the same things
What is cloning?
