Unit 4 Genetics: Review

Front

What is the definition of Homozygous Dominant?

Back

A genotype consisting of two identical dominant alleles, such as PP.

Front

What is Asexual Reproduction?

Back

A reproductive process that involves only one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent.

Front

What are Recessive Traits?

Back

Traits that can be masked by dominant traits and may reappear in the second generation after disappearing in the first generation.

Front

What are Dominant Traits?

Back

Traits that are expressed in the first generation when parents with different traits are bred.

Front

What is the definition of Homozygous Recessive?

Back

A genotype consisting of two identical recessive alleles, such as cc.

Front

What is a Genotype?

Back

The genetic makeup of an organism, represented by alleles (e.g., PP, Pp, cc).

Front

What is a Phenotype?

Back

The observable physical or biochemical characteristics of an organism, determined by its genotype.

Front

What is the difference between Genotype and Phenotype?

Back

Genotype refers to the genetic makeup, while phenotype refers to the observable traits.

Front

What is Sexual Reproduction?

Back

A reproductive process that involves two parents and results in offspring with a combination of traits from both.

Front

What is Selective Breeding?

Back

The process of breeding plants or animals for specific traits to enhance desired characteristics.
