The passing of traits from parents to offspring is 

The study of the passing of traits to offspring is 

‘The Father of Genetics’ didn’t know about DNA or Chromosomes, yet he predicted the outcome of what process that we just learned? 

1.  ‘The Father’ was very smart and he came up with three hypothesis that later became scientific laws. The first law shows that some alleles can hide other alleles.  When making this law, he recognized that two alleles were present (genius that he was) and that one disappeared for a generation and then reappeared in the next.  This law is 

1.  The Father’ was very smart and he came up with three hypothesis that later became scientific laws. The idea of the second law was that we have two alleles that determine a trait and these get separated when making sex cells or gametes.  Name the Law:__________________________. Also, what is the ‘key word’ that helps you remember what this law is about (it should always be in the definition)? 

1.  ‘The Father’ was very smart and he came up with three hypothesis that later became scientific laws.
The third law was created when he examined the statistics of two traits at a time.  He noticed that they could be arranged in any combination, suggesting that each allele can be passed on independent of  alleles for other traits.  The name of this law is 

If R represents a red allele for flower petals and r represents a white allele and they found together in a plant...

If R represents a red allele for flower petals and r represents a white allele and they found together in a plant...

 Farmer Peggy Sue decides to go into geraniums.  She has a gorgeous geranium plant that she wants to breed to build her geranium empire.  The breed of geranium she owns has the following genotypes and phenotypes.  RR – red  Rr – red  rr- white What is the test called that she needs to do to figure out her plants genotype?

What is the genotype of the plant she needs to breed her plant with to determine if it’s genotype is RR or Rr? 

What is the type of inheritance when the offspring show a 'medium' or blended trait of the two alleles?

In what type of inheritance are both alleles clearly expressed?

A trait that is found on the X chromosome is called a/an

A person that has the allele for a disorder but doesn’t actually have the disorder (but could pass it on to their children) is called a 

The family tree that follows a particular trait is called a 

If the trait in 'the family tree' doesn't show up in every generation'. (The children get the trait but the parents don't have it). The trait is

If the family tree does have the trait showing up in every generation it is? In other words, children get a trait the parent has, the trait is typically

If  fathers can’t pass a trait on to their sons the trait is on the _____ chromosome(s).

If males and females equally get the trait, it is on the _______ chromosome(s).

What type of inheritance does this Pedigree show?

What type of inheritance is shown in this image?

We have talked about the fact that human genetics is pretty complicated because our genes are mostly ____________________inheritance but most of our traits are ______________, which means that there is more than one gene that determines the trait.  Examples of this are: __________________________________________.

What type of inheritance is shown in this Pedigree?

Voice pitch has the following genotypes:  PP – Low pitch, pp – high pitch, Pp – medium pitch  Cross a man with a low pitch with a woman with medium pitch.  What percent of their children will have low pitch 

What type of inheritance would have the following:
Voice pitch has the following genotypes:     PP – Low pitch, pp – high pitch, Pp – medium pitch

What is the following pattern of inheritance?
If a yellow tulip is crossed with a red tulip, the resulting tulip is both red and yellow. Key: R – red, Y – yellow, RY- red and yellow

Key: R – red, Y– yellow, RY- red and yellow   Cross a yellow tulip with a red and yellow tulip.       What is the genotypic ratio?                     

 If Mr. and Mrs. Smith can only have children with AB blood type, what must the parents’ genotypes be?

Cross a mom heterozygous A blood type with dad, O blood type.  What is the phenotypic ratio?

Which of the following conditions are not environmental conditions that can turn genes on or off?

Cross a woman who is a carrier for Duchene's Muscular Dystrophy and a Normal man.  Use N for normal and n for the recessive allele that is disease causing.
What is the percent chance they will have a child with this disease?  Would the child be male or female?

Round is dominant over wrinkled and purple flowers are dominant over white flowers in pea plants.  If we crossed two plants that are both heterozygous for both traits (a) What are the possible gamete combinations that each parent could make? (b)  What are possible phenotypes of the offspring from this cross? HINT:  You don’t have to make Punnett squares to figure this out if you don’t want to.
