Genotype refers to the ...
physical expression of the genes
the possible combination of alleles in a gene
whether an allele is dominant or recessive
how an organism will appear
What does heterozygous mean?
An organism that has the same alleles for a trait
An organism that has different alleles for a trait
When neither allele is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red
What does homozygous mean?
An organism that has the same alleles for a trait
An organism that has different alleles for a trait
When neither allele is fully dominant; offspring is a mixture of both
the different forms of a trait (hair color--> brown, blonde, red
A homozygous yellow pea plant's genotype would be:
YY
Gy
Yy
Yg
Which phenotype shows incomplete dominance?
Red Flower
Pink Flower
White Flower
None of the above
What is the difference between a dominant and a recessive allele?
A dominant allele will cover up the recessive allele.
A recessive allele will cover up the dominant allele.
Both have the same effect on the organism.
Dominant alleles are only inherited from your father.
What is the difference between phenotype and genotype?
Genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism and phenotype is the physical appearance of an organism.
Genotpe is the physical appearance of an organism and phenotype is the genetic makeup of an organism

1:3
3:1
1:2:1
2:2
What is another term we can use for a sex cell?
Genotype
Mitosis
Probability
Gamete
What is one advantage of sexual reproduction?
offspring are identical to parents
offspring are resistant to viruses
offspring are born live, rather than from eggs
offspring inherit a wider variety of genetic information
DNA is tightly wound to form
Proteins
Chromosomes
Cells
Fortnite
