500

Freckles (F) is completely dominant to no freckles (f). 2 heterozygous parents are crossed. What are the genotype and phenotype probabilities of their offspring? 

What is 25% FF/50% Ff/25% ff and 75% FRECKLES/25% NO FRECKLES?

500

Verbally explain how genes influence phenotype. Vocab to use: parents, genes, alleles, genotype, phenotype, receptor, protein. 

Versions of a gene are called alleles. You get 1 allele from each parent. This allele combination is your genotype. Each allele has instructions to make a certain protein. When the protein has the correct shape to fit into the cell receptor, it does its job to send a message to make a certain type of cell. Since cells make up our bodies, the cells determine what we look like, or our phenotype.

Pollen is located on the ________ of the flower and has to reach the _________ first before going down to the ovules. 

What are ANTHERS and STIGMA? 

500

The pigment molecule that gives apples their red color.
