Genetic Makeup
Example of a homozygous dominant genotype
AA, BB, DD, RR, etc.
Reproductive process that involves one parent and produces offspring identical to the parent
Asexual Reproduction
Physical traits that appear in an individual as a result of its genotype
Phenotype
Genetics are the study of this
Heredity
This scientist performed a series of tests using pea plants to discover genetic variation and outcomes
Gregor Mendel
Example of a heterozygous genotype
Aa, Bb, Dd, Rr, etc.
A characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring
Inherited Trait
Occurs when the DNA code of a cell is randomly changed
Mutation
These traits disappeared in the first generation of Mendel's hybrids
Recessive
This is an example of a behavioral trait to increase reproductive success
A dance
Example of a homozygous recessive genotype
aa, bb, dd, rr, etc.
A chart that shows the likelihoods of all possible genotypes and phenotypes for a certain trait or traits resulting from a cross between two parents with known genotypes
Punnett Square
Trait that help an organism survive and reproduce
Adaptation
In a Punnett Square, each box represents this percentage of an outcome
25%
Which of the following is likely to determine plant height?
- Genetic factors
- Behavior
- Physical Traits
- Environment
Genetic & Environmental Factors
Allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
Recessive
Variation
Section on a chromosome that has genetic information for one trait
Gene
AA is an example of this type of genotype
Homozygous dominant
This process, often aided by wind, water, or animals, helps plants transfer pollen from one flower to another to ensure seeds can form.
Pollenation
Allele whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present
Dominant
A single highly organized and structured piece of DNA
Chromosome
Allele
Aa is an example of this type of genotype
Heterozygous
Some plants rely on animal or insect pollination due to this form of reproduction
Sexual Reproduction
