Basics
The passing of genetic material from parents to offspring.
What is heredity?
+200
Allele that contributes to the phenotype if one or more are present in the genotype
What is dominant?
The different versions of a gene.
What are alleles?
+200
used to predict the possible genotypes of offspring in a given cross
What is a Punnett Square?
This is the number of siblings that Mr. Mathison has
What is 2?
+200 points
Organism with two dominant or two recessive alleles
What is homozygous?
Allele that contributes to the phenotype only when two copies of it are present
What is recessive
+300
The different forms of a given characteristic.
What is a trait?
Segments of DNA found in chromosomes that give instructions for producing a certain characteristic.
What are genes
+200
These are the Four Fundamental Forces
What are the Strong Force, Weak Force, Electromagnetism, and Gravity?
+400
organism with one dominant and one recessive allele
What is heterozygous?
One trait is completely dominant over another.
What is complete dominance?
Traces the occurrence of a trait through generations of a family.
What is pedigree?
Two parents contribute genetic information to produce unique offspring.
What is sexual reproduction?
True or False: Just like rays of light, sound waves require a medium to travel
False: light rays require no medium, easily travelling through void of space
+100
an organism's physical traits
What is the phenotype?
Each allele in a heterozygous individual influences the phenotype.
What is incomplete dominance?
Feature that has different forms in a population.
What is a characteristic?
Generates offspring that are genetically identical to a single parent
What is asexual reproduction?
This type of orbit keeps an orbiting body above the same region of the larger object. From below, the satellite appears to remain still.
What is a geosynchronous orbit?
Building block of DNA that is made up of a base, a sugar, and a phosphate group
What is the nucleotide?
+500
Both of the alleles in a heterozygous individual contribute to the phenotype
What is codominance?
+300
A molecule in a cell that contains the genetic material.
What is DNA
Offspring that has the same genes as its parents
What is a clone
This is the formula for momentum (p).
p= m*v
(mass times velocity)
