Mendelian Genetics
A trait that expresses itself so long as its allele is present
What is a Dominant Trait
This pattern of inheritance results in heterozygous offspring having both traits expressed
What is Codominance?
A couple has already had 4 male children, this is the probability that their next child will be female
What is 50%?
A pea plant is heterozygous for pea pod color (G=green, g=yellow) and for height (T=tall, t=short). This is its genotype
What is GgTt?
Mr. VerSteeg goes here every Monday
What is CSUSM?
A variation of a gene
What is an Allele?
A fish with blue scales and a fish with green scales are crossed, producing an offspring with turquoise scales, this is an example of this pattern of inheritance
What is incomplete dominance?
What is 1/16?
This is the most common phenotype of the offspring off two pea plants that are heterozygous for pea pod color (G=green, g=yellow) and for height (T=tall, t=short)
What is Green and Tall?
This is how you pronounce my name
What is Mr. VerSteeg?
The gametes that are produced by the parents go here on a Punnett Square
Where is on the outside.
This pattern of inheritance results in a spectrum of phenotypes
What are polygenic traits?
This is the probability of two heterozygous individuals producing a homozygous offspring
What is 50%?
A dihybrid cross with two genes controlling the same trait is an example of this pattern of inheritance.
What are polygenic traits?
Mr. VerSteeg was born in this year
What is 2000?
A monohybrid cross between 2 pea plants that are both heterozygous for for green pea pods will produce this percent of offspring with green pods
What is 75%?
A flower's color is an example of incomplete dominance. This is the probability that a Red flower and a white flower will produce a pink flower.
What is 100%?
A dihybrid cross between two individuals that are heterozygous for two different traits has this chance of produces an offspring that expresses both recessive traits
What is 1/16?
A cross between two individuals that are both heterozygous for two different traits will produce offspring with phenotypes in this ratio
What is 9:3:3:1
Mr. VerSteeg and his brother are an example of these
What are twins?
This was Gregor Mendel's Occupation
What is a monk?
Human blood types have multiple alleles, these are the possible blood types of a child produced from a mother with type AB blood and a father with type A blood.
What are Type A, Type B, and Type AB?
A pair of frogs produces 200 tadpoles, 147 tadpoles have normal tails (T), 53 have split tails (t), these are the genotypes of the parent frogs
What are Tt and Tt
An individual with the genotype AaBBCc produces these possible gametes
What are ABC, ABc, aBC, and aBc?
What is a macaroni penguin?
