Basic Punnett Squares and Mendel

Who was Gregor Medel

• A scientist and priest who studies pea plant traits.

• The "father" of modern genetics.

• He discovered patterns of inheritance.

• All of the statements above are correct.

A dominant gene is written on a Punnett Square as a:

• Capital letter (Y)

• Percentage (%)

• Lower case letter (y)

• A number (#)

A recessive trait is written on a Punnett Square as a:

• Capital letter (Y)

• A percentage (%)

• A lower case letter (y)

• A number (#)

An organism is a hybrid genotype (Tt) but is appears tall instead of short.

• Law of Dominance

• Law of Segregation

• Law of Independent Assortment

Some Traits will be shown in the phenotype of the offspring while others will not be shown

• Law of Dominance

• Law of Independent Assortment

• Law of Segregation

• Relationship Goals

Alleles separate during meiosis

• Law of Dominance

• Law of Independent Assortment

• Law of Segregation

• Relationship Goals

How Alleles separate and which gametes they end up in happens randomly and independently of each other

• Law of Dominance

• Law of Independent Assortment

• Law of Segregation

• Relationship Goals

The expression of the genes an organism has ( what you SEE )

• The genotype

• The phenotype

• The karyotype

• The chromosomes

The allele options an organism has. (BB, Bb, or bb for example)

• The genotype

• The phenotype

• The karyotype

• The chromosomes

If Black is Dominant to Brown in mice, cross a homozygous Black mouse with a heterozygous one. What are the chances of having brown offspring?

• 25%

• 0%

• 50%

• 75%
