What is heredity
100

Why is a purple offspring of a red flower crossed with a blue flower considered incomplete dominance?

What is the offspring shows a blending of traits

100

What information is absolutely essential to a Punnett Square?

What is the parents genotype

100
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
300

What word means "The set of information that controls a trait; a segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait"

What is a gene

300
What word is defined as "The different forms of a gene."
What is allele
300
Why can some people taste the chemical PTC but not others?
What is that the trait for the tasting of PTC is inherited so not everyone will have that trait

What is a pedigree

300
R is for Red and r is for white. What is the cross of a homozygous dominant and a heterozygous?
What is RR x Rr
400

What is the word that means "Traits or characteristics that are determined by an organism’s DNA that was inherited from their parents"?

What is inherited traits

400

A flower has red and white petals.  Of what type of inheritance is this an example?

What is codominance

400

Identify HH, Hh and hh.

What is HH: homozygous dominant Hh: heterozygous hh: homozygous recessive

400

Type of gene that dominates all effects of a specific gene thereby hiding all the affected genes traits.

What is an epistatic gene

400
What is the phenotypic ratio of RR x Rr? (R is for red and r is for white)
What is 100% Red

500
What is "An organism’s physical appearance or visible traits."?
What is phenotype
500
Who is called the "father of genetics"?
What is Gregor Mendel
500
Can you know a person's genotype if they are dominant in their phenotype?
What is no because they could be RR or Rr
500
What is the genotypic ratio of the cross of RR x rr?
What is 100% Rr
