Principles of Heredity
Studied inheritance with pea plants.
Who is George Mendel?
Blends together traits from the parents.
What is incomplete dominance?
The random change in the ratio of alleles in a population over time.
What is genetic drift?
Dominant trait always being expressed
What is simple dominance?
Used to indicate the dominant trait on a punnet square.
What is a capital letter?
The dominant allele expressed in a hybrid organism.
What is phenotype?
Expresses both traits at the same time.
What is codominance?
The process in which organisms with adaptations that increase their ability to survive and reproduce to pass their traits to their offspring.
What is natural selection?
Characters that have two or more forms.
What is trait?
The change in ratio of alleles cause by the environment.
What is natural selection?
Combinations of alleles that has been inherited from its parents.
What is genotype?
A pink flower is an example of ___.
What is incomplete dominance?
Genetic drift is measured by the ratio of organisms with a specific phenotype.
What is adaptation?
Random changes to the ratio of alleles in a population.
What is genetic drift?
A tool used to predict the likelihood that an offspring will express specific traits passed down from its parents.
What is a punnet square?
Multiple alleles in humans that controls the type of blood that people have.
What is antigen?
Natural selection can be removed but not add genetic information.
What is true?
Occurs when two or more genes in different places on a chromosome interact to control a single character.
What is polygenic inheritance?
Human blood involves what kind of inheritance?
What is multiple allele or codominance?
Mendel‘s research began the science of ___.
What is heredity?
When more than one gene is responsible for one phenotype.
What is polygenic inheritance?
Natural selection was a central idea in who’s work.
Who is Charles Darwin?
A field of biology with real potential to solve significant real-world problems.
What is genetic engineering?
Labrador retrievers coat color is determined by two different genes. What type of inheritance is this?
What is polygenic?
