What is probability

The likelihood that something will happen

What is a "tool used in genetics to predict the chances of a specific genetic outcome"
What is the Punnett Square
200
Where are genetics stored and carried down?

DNA

200

What plant did Gregor Mendel study?

Pea plants
200

What is the probability formula?

Probability = number of times an event is expected to occur/number of opportunities for an event to happen

200

Where did Ms. Kleindl go to high school?

Freeport High School

200
Complete a Punnett Square for: Rr and RR

RR, RR, Rr, and Rr

300

What do geneticists do?

Study genetics

300

Why did Gregor Mendel choose to study pea plants?

They were easy to grow and produced 100s of offspring

300

What are the four ways you can express probability?

Percent, ratio, fraction, decimal

300

Where did Ms. Miller go to college?

Northern Illinois University (NIU)

300

Explain the difference between HH, Hh and hh.

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

400

What is an inherited trait?

"Traits or characteristics that are determined by an organism’s DNA that was inherited from their parents"

400

What did Gregor Mendel discover about genetics by looking at pea plants?

Traits are passed down from parent to parent

Some traits "skip" a generation

Some traits are dominant and some are recessive

400

If you flip a coin three times, what is the probability it will land heads up every time?

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8

What is "An organism’s genetic make-up or allele combinations."
What is genotype

Where is Gregor Mendel from?

Austria

500
How are genetics and probability connected?

Through Punnett Squares; inheritance is like a big game of probability; etc.
