What is Heredity
Is the passing of genes from the parent to offspring
100
The two types of reproduction
Asexual and Sexual reproduction
100
These are different forms of the same gene
What is an allele
100
The part of a chromosome that controls a trait
What is a gene
100
This is the number of chromosomes in the human body
What is 46
200
A monk that first studied heredity by breeding peas for years
Gregor Mendel
200
Two parents produce one (or more) offspring
What is sexual reproduction
200
Alleles can be either _______ or _________, represented by capital and lowercase letters
What are Dominant and Recessive alleles
200
The gene "Code", listed with numbers after being pulled from a Punnett Square
What is the genotype
200
The organelle where the chromosomes are held
What is the nucleus
300
A characteristic of an organism that can be passed from parent to offspring
What is a trait
300
This type of reproduction is only done by simple, usually single-celled organisms
What is Asexual reproduction
300
This allele will always show in the phenotype and would "win" in a genotype battle
Dominant allele
300
The appearance of a trait, usually listed with %
What is the phenotype
300
These are the "gender alleles" for men and women
What are XX (women) and XY (men)
400
The study of genes and heredity
What is "Genetics"
400
Fertilization happens when these two gametes combine
What are the sperm and the egg
400
This allele hides behind the dominant
What is the recessive allele
400
This is a change in the genes of an organism, it can be completely random or caused by something in the environment (radiation, chemicals, drugs etc)
What is a genetic mutation
400
What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the offsprings for the following combination: B=brown eyes b= blue eyes Father (BB) X Mother (bb)
4 Bb (100% brown eyes)
500
If you breed two tall pea plants (Tt X Tt), what is the % chance you get a short pea plant offspring?
25% chance of short offspring
500
This is the % genetics passed from the parent to the offspring in asexual reproduction
What is 100%
500
This is the "code name" for a genotype containing two DIFFERENT alleles
Heterozygous
500
This type of trait is passed down in the genes from the parent to the offspring.
What is an inherited trait
500
The only offspring phenotype option when breeding two white chickens if: B=brown b=white
100% white (bb) offspring
