Animal Science Genetics

It is very common for yellow labs to have bad hips. This is because owners want purebred yellow labs who are good hunting dogs.  This is an example of 

• Natural Selection

• Selective breeding

• Mitosis

• Fossil Record

The transfer of a gene from the DNA of one organism into another organism in order to produce an organism with desired traits.

• Genetic Engineering

• Karyotype

• Pedigree

• Genome

The process of selecting a few organisms with desired traits to serve as parents of the next generation.

• Gene Therapy

• Genome

• Selective Breeding

• Pedigree

The physical appearance of a gene:

• Genotype

• Heredity

• Phenotype

• Allele

The genetic make up of a trait:

• Genotype

• Phenotype

• Chromosome

• Hybrid

A trait that will appear no matter what it is paired with is said to be:

• Recessive

• Dominant

• Hybrid

The father of Genetics:

• Albert Einstein

• Gregor Mendel

• Robert Hooke

• Theodore Schwann

Selective, deliberate change of genes by man. (Putting genes from one organism into another)

• Genetic Engineering

• Cloning

• Hybridization

• Inbreeding

All of the following statements are reasons for selective breeding except:

• To produce offspring with desirable characteristics

• Farmers increase their profit by improving crops

• To improve the quality of food products

• To increase migration patterns

Physical characteristics that are studied in Genetics.

• Generations

• Offspring

• Hybrids

• Traits
