father of genetics
father of plants
father of RNA
Mendel studied the traits of ________________________
crows
rose bushes
frogs
pea plants
Receiving traits from your parents is referred to as
inheritance
genetics
replication
dominance
The study of traits and the patterns of inheritance is
biology
selection
genetics
evolution
The passing on of traits from parents to offspring due to sexual reproduction or asexual reproduction is
genetics
offspring
embryo
heredity
These organisms contain only 7 traits and helped Mendel discover 3 major Laws in genetics.
spinach
celery
peas
carrots
The uniting of a sperm and egg to produce an offspring is a type of
asexual reproduction
sexual reproduction
vegetative reproduction
cloning
Pollination is a method of reproduction used by
fish
goats
plants
people
The unborn and still developing offspring is called an
embryo
baby
bump
kid
Plants produce ___________which contain a developing embryonic plant.
flowers
petals
roots
seeds
Many plants are able to _____________pollinate and therefore are mother and father to their offspring.
cross
self
trio
not
Brown hair, brown eyes, freckles are examples of:
features
characteristics
gametes
traits
Two different parent plants are allowed to fertilize each other:
crossing
cross pollination
cross patching
seeding
AA, BB, ZZ would be ways to illustrate a trait that is
homozgous dominant
homozygous recessive
heterozygous
neutral
Aa, Bb, Cc etc. would be the way to illustrate a trait as
homozygous dominant
homozygous recessive
heterozygous
neutral
aa, bb, cc etc. would be ways to illustrate that a trait is
homozygous dominant
homozygous recessive
heterozygous
neutral
We refer the parents in a cross as
p and p
P1 and P2
P and P1
F1 and F2
The result of fertilization and crossing are referred to as
kids
kits
pups
offspring
We often inherit more than one form of the trait. These forms of a trait are
traits
alleles
segregation
crosses
The part of a chromosome that code for a trait is the
nucleosome
DNA
loci
gene
Mendel developed 3 Laws of Genetics. He determined that some traits follow the
gender determination
Law of division
Principal of dominance
Law of dupliciity
The Law of Segregation tells us that each gamete gets only 1 allele for a trait. This occurs during gamete formation.
True
False
The Law of Independent Assortment states
chance determines which traits of a parental pair will go their offspring.
chance limits the traits an offspring will inherit.
chance has no affect on inheritance of traits.
None of these are correct
The sex cells of males and females are referred to as
ova
eggs
spermatazoa
gametes
