Father of Genetics
Used pea plants for genetics studies
and to observe patterns of inheritance
Mendel
Darwin
Watson
Franklin
Delivery of characteristics from parent to offspring.
heredity
meiosis
independent assortment
dominance
Sequence of DNA that determines a trait.
gene
allele
homozygous
genotype
Gregor Mendel used these plants for his genetic studies.
peas
roses
lettuce
rye grass
The characteristic of an organism, what it looks like, color, texture, height etc.
trait
genotype
heredity
heterozygous
Different form of a gene. Round or wrinkled or yellow or green. Like vanilla and chocolate ice cream different flavors but still ice cream.
allele
gene
heredity
dominant
Genes are inherited in _______ of alleles.
pairs
trios
quads
singles
Trait that masks or hides the recessive trait. Always represented by a capital letter.
dominant
incomplete dominant
co-dominant
x-linked dominance
Always represented by a lower case letter. Doesn't show if a dominant allele is present. Need 2 of them for the trait to show.
recessive
incomplete
not quite
co-dominance
Genetic make-up of an organism. What the paired alleles look like.
genotype
phenotype
xenotype
homozygous
Physical characteristics of the organism.
phenotype
genotype
heterozygous
homozygous
Paired alleles are the same. Like AA or aa.
homozygous
heterozygous
Paired alleles are different. Like Aa or Bb. One dominant and one recessive.
heterozygous
homozygous
Organisms that have a heterozygous genotype are known as. Like Rr.
hybrids
pure breds
homozygous
genotype
Organisms that have homozygous alleles are considered? Like AA or aa
true-breeding pure bred
heterozygous
hybrid
dihybrid
Mendels Principle that states that if a dominant allele is present in the genotype then the dominant trait will show.
Dominance
Segregation
Independent Assortment
Evolution
____________ dominance means the the dominant alleles completely masks recessive alleles. There is no in between.
complete
incomplete
co-dominance
x-linked
Which genotype is homozygous dominant?
AA

In pea plants round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (r).
What would the genotype be for a wrinkled seed?
rr
RR
Rr
In pea plants round seeds (R) are dominant to wrinkled seeds (r).
What would the possible genotypes be for a round seed?
RR or Rr

Mendels principle that states pair of alleles are separated during meiosis the formation of gametes, offspring receive one gamete from each parent during fertilization
segregation
dominance
independent assortment
evolution
