Mendelian Genetics 1
This is the title usually given to Mendel for his discoveries in heredity and inheritance.
What is Father of Genetics?
This is the country where Mendel worked and lived.
What is Austria?
This is what Mendel's occupation was.
What is a monk?
The building where Mendel had his garden is now located in this country.
What is the Czech Republic?
These organisms were what helped Mendel make his discoveries in genetics.
What are pea plants?
This is the first law that Mendel discovered about inheritance.
What is the law of dominance?
This is the second law that Mendel discovered about inheritance.
What is the law of sergregation?
What is the law of independent assortment?
This tool is what is commonly used to predict the results of a genetic cross.
What is a Punnett Square?
In pea plants, this color flower is dominant, while this color is recessive. (Make sure to name the dominant color first, then the recessive one.)
What are purple and white?
This word is defined as the set of observable characteristics that an organism has--as opposed to its genetic makeup.
What is phenotype?
This word can be defined as any characteristic that an organism has which can be passed on to its offspring.
What is a trait?
If an organism inherits the same "version" of the gene from both parents, this word can be used to describe this individual's genetic makeup.
What is homozygous?
This word is used to describe the alternative forms that a gene may have for a specific trait.
What is allele?
This type of genetic cross deals with two characteristics at a time.
What is a dihybrid cross?
In pea plants, tall is dominant over short. A homozygous dominant plant crossed with a short plant will produce this many short plants.
What is none?
In a monohybrid cross, if two heterozygous individuals are crossed, this is the expected ratio of offspring that have the heterozygous genotype.
What is 50%?
What is 75% or 3/4ths?
Answers will vary.
In dihybrid crosses, the letters in FOIL stand for these words.
What is First, Outer (or Outside), Inner (or Inside), and Last?
The genotype AaBbCcDdEEFF will produce this many different gamete combinations.
What is 16?
In order to have 64 different gamete combinations, this many heterozygous pairs have to be present.
What is 6?
If parent #1 has the genotype AABbCcDD and parent #2 has the genotype AABbCCDD, the resulting Punnett square will have this many squares.
What is 8?
In a dihybrid cross, if both parents are heterozygous for both traits, one can automatically assume that this ratio will be the result found in the offspring that are produced.
What is 9-3-3-1?
In a dihybrid cross, the 9-3-3-1 ratio means this.
