Gregor Mendel
What is the "Father of Modern Genetics"?
The scientific study of heredity.
What is Genetics?
A number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur.
What is probability?
The passing down of traits from parent to child.
What is heredity?
Complete a Punnett square for Tt and tt.
Show your drawing.
Mendel discovered this principle.
What is heredity?
A parent passes certain genes onto their __________.
What is the offspring?
A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross.
What is a Punnett square?
Influenced by environmental factors and not passed down to the next generation.
The term of physical traits.
What is phenotype?
The year Mendel was born.
What is 1822?
This type of letter is used to represent a recessive gene.
What are the lower case letters?
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait. (Purebred)
What is Homozygous?
It carry information that determine what characteristics are inherited from an organism's parents.
What are genes?
The term for having two identical alleles for a gene.
What is homozygous?
These genes express specific _________ or __________. (two answers)
What are the traits or characteristics?
Double Jeopardy!!!!
2 heterozygous brown-eyed people are crossed. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? (use the letters B/b) (Blue eyes are recessive)
Genotypes- 1 BB, 1bb, 2Bb Phenotypes- 3 brown eye and 1 Blue eye
What is an allele?
Double Jeopardy!!
Define Phenotype and Genotype.
A phenotype is the appearance of an organism based on its genotype. It is an observable trait of an organism.
A genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. It has two alleles in the cell, one from each parent which can be the same or diffrent.
This is Gregor's real name.
Who is Johann?
These many dominant alleles are needed for that specific trait to show up.
What is one?
A person who studies genetics.
It is also known as heterozygous.
What is a hybrid?
It can help predict patterns of inheritance of traits and diseases in family lines.
What is probability?
