Gregor Mendel
He worked on these types of plants.
Pea Plants
To be (this) means it is expressed as long as its inherited from at least one parent.
Dominant
[aa x aa]
The odds you end up with an offspring presenting the recessive trait.
(4/4) 100% chance
"PCR" stands for (this).
Polymerase Chain Reaction
He is known as the Father of (this).
Modern Genetics
An alternative form of a gene.
Allele
[AA x aa]
The odds we end up with a homozygous dominant offspring.
(0/4) 0% chance
At least one of the uses of PCR that we discussed in class.
Forensic Science or Disease Detection (e.g. COVID-19)
He served as these things. (Other than being a scientist.)
Monk and Teacher
When the two "letters" that an offspring inherits from their parents represent the same trait, we say that they are (this).
Homozygous
[Aa x Aa]
The odds we end up with a heterozygous offspring.
(2/4) 50% chance
This relatively-new technology utilizes an enzyme's ability to help fend off viruses in bacteria to help get rid of gene mutations in humans.
CRISPR
This was his nationality.
Austrian
Unlike the two "letters" that you inherit from your parents, (this) is the actual expression of the trait that we see with the naked eye.
Phenotype
[CBCB x CTCT] (Co-Dominance)
The odds we end up with an offspring physically expressing both alleles.
(4/4) 100% chance
In order to produce proteins, such as insulin, we can insert the human gene related to that protein into a bacteria's (this) to produce more of it.
Plasmid
He chose the organisms he did because they had distinct, "either/or" characteristics, were fast-growing, and were easy to (this) and control.
Cross-Pollinate
A segment of DNA that holds the instructions on producing a singular protein.
Gene
[CRCR x CrCr] (Incomplete Dominance)
The odds we will have an offspring that physically expresses both traits.
(0/4) 0% chance
DAILY DOUBLE: (This) is what CRISPR stands for.
Clusters of Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats
