Genetics

Complex molecule that carries genetic information that defines an organism's traits. It is stored in the nucleus.

• DNA
• protein
• RNA
• glucose nucleic acid (GNA)

How many alleles (letters) do each person carry for a trait?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

How many alleles (letters) does a child get from each parent for each trait?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Dominant alleles are represented by a:

• Male gene
• lowercase letter
• recessive trait
• capital letter

Aa, DD, bB, yy are all examples of

• genotypes
• phenotypes

In a heterozygous genotype, the ___________ allele takes over in the phenotype.

• recessive
• dominant
• lower case letter
• both 

What you see, or the physical appearance.

• Genotype
• Phenotype
• Homozygous
• Heterozygous

T - tall and t = short
In the punnett square below, what belongs in the missing square

• tt
• Tt
• Bb
• TT

B = brown eyes
b = blue eyes
What is true about these two brothers that have brown eyes?
One has genotype BB the other Bb.

• they have same phenotype and genotype
• they have different genotypes and phenotypes
• they have same phenotype but different genotypes
• they have same genotype but different phenotypes

Which of the following is a phenotype?
