Unit 5- Heredity and Reproduction

Front

What is a Punnett Square?

Back

A tool used in genetics to predict the probability of certain traits in offspring.

Front

What does the allele combination 'Aa' represent?

Back

A heterozygous genotype, where one allele is dominant (A) and the other is recessive (a).

Front

What is the main advantage of using scientific models in biology?

Back

They simplify complex systems to improve understanding.

What is heredity?

Back

The passing of traits from parents to offspring.

Front

What is a dominant allele?

Back

An allele that expresses its trait even when only one copy is present.

Front

What is a recessive allele?

Back

An allele that expresses its trait only when two copies are present.

Front

What is the role of chromosomes in heredity?

Back

Chromosomes carry genes that determine traits.
