Vocabulary
This is the process of passing on genes to offspring.
What is heredity?
This type of inheritance pattern results in a possible mixing of traits to form an intermediate trait.
What is incomplete dominance?
This is a cross that involves one trait.
What is a monohybrid cross?
An individual with a genotype of (rr) would be considered this.
What is homozygous?
What is homozygous recessive?
Who is the "Father of Genetics?"
Who is Gregor Mendel?
This is the study of how genes are passed on to offspring.
What is genetics?
This type of inheritance involves a dominant trait being able to fully mask a recessive trait.
What is complete dominance?
This is a cross that involves two traits.
What is a dihybrid cross?
An individual with a genotype of (Rr) would be considered this.
What is heterozygous?
What organism was used in the earliest studies of genetics?
What are pea plants?
This is a specific form of a gene. Can usually be dominant or recessive.
What is an allele?
This type of inheritance involves two different dominant alleles both being fully expressed.
What is codominance?
If a parent that is dominant for purple flowers (PP) breeds with a parent that is recessive and has white flowers (pp), what is the genotype of the offspring plants?
What is Pp?
A Punnett Square for a dihybrid cross has how many squares?
What is 16?
This is the generation that is the original breeding pair when doing a test cross.
What is the P generation?
This is the physical makeup of an individual.
What is a phenotype?
A red flower breeding with a white flower and producing pink flowered offspring is an example of this.
What is incomplete dominance?
B = brown hair
b = blonde hair
If two parents breed and both have the genotype Bb, how many different genotypes can be present in the offspring?
What is 3?
A parent in a dihybrid cross has a genotype of BBTT. How many different gamete combinations can that parent have?
What is 1?
This is the offspring of the P generation.
What is the F1 generation?
This is the genetic makeup of an individiual.
What is a genotype?
A speckled chicken and a roan horse are examples of this type of inheritance pattern.
What is codominance?
B = brown hair
b = blonde hair
If two parents that have the genotype Bb breed, how many different phenotypes can their offspring have?
What is 2?
What is BbTt?
This is a trait that is coded for by multiple genes.
What is a polygenic trait?
