What is a "tool used in genetics to predict the chances of a specific genetic outcome"
What is the Punnett Square
200
What word means "The entire set of genetic information for an organism. All of the genes in an organism"
What is the genome
200
What word means "An allele that is expressed in an organism’s phenotype, masking the effect of the recessive allele"
What is dominant
200
Why can the height of a person be considered inherited but environmentally influenced?
What is the height of a person is based on genetics but things like nutrition play a role in how tall the person actually gets
200
What is the scientific word used for "children" in a Punnett Square?
What is "offspring"
200
What does a cross that ends with a Phenotypic ratio of 100% Red mean? R = red r = white
What is that the Punnett Square would have a cross that ends with R in all the squares therefore showing the dominant trait in each cross being Red
