The organelle that contains all of the genetic information in cells is called the _______________.

Special structures of tightly wound genes that are visible under a microscope are called ____________________.

The number of chromosomes in the cells of an adult gamete or reproductive cell is _______.

This is a molecule in our body that is made up of a chain of amino acids. This molecule performs tasks like sensing stimuli and regulating our bodies.

What are the chemical building blocks that make up genes?

The genetic code sequence that contains the instructions to build proteins is located on a _____________________.

The “stronger” allele, or the one that shows up more often in a population is called_____________.

What is the term we use to describe slightly different versions of the same gene, which often make proteins that have a different shape and function?

If an organism has two of the same versions of a gene they are considered to have a ________________ genotype.

Complete the Punnett square. What genotype combination would you find in the box with the star?

Imagine that In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur. If you cross a male who is Homozygous dominant (BB) for black fur with a heterozygous female (Bb), what are the possible genotypes for the offspring?

(use the Punnett square in the picture)

Imagine that In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur. If you cross a male who is Homozygous dominant (BB) for black fur with a heterozygous female (Bb), what are the possible phenotypes for the offspring?

(use the Punnett square in the picture)

In rabbits, black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b).

Now imagine you cross a male who is heterozygous for black fur with a female who is homozygous recessive for white fur.

What is the chance that the offspring has white fur?

(Hint: you have to make a Punnett Square)
