Heredity
When the offspring is a male
The passing of traits from parents to offspring
When the offspring is a female
When the offspring has a mutations
What is an example of Heredity?
When offspring has a different hair color as the parents
When the offspring has the same color hair as the parents
Trait
When the offspring has the same personality as one of the parents
A specific characteristic that an organism can pass to its offspring through genes
When the offspring has the same blood type as one of the parents
Genetics
The scientific study of heredity
The study of offspring
The study of genes
Fertilization
A type of soil
The process of an animal giving birth
The process when a female egg cell and a male sperm cell join to form a new cell
The process of an animal pooping
Purebred
A dog
A bread that is pure
An offspring of many generations that has the same form of the trait
An offspring that has many of the same traits as its parents
Allele
An offspring that has the same genes as its parents
A singer
The different forms of a gene
A gene
Dominant Allele
When there is many more alleles
Trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present
What is this senerio an example of:
When your mom has blue eyes and your dad has brown then you have brown eyes
Dominant Allele
Phenotype
Which are the dominant alleles
tt
Tt
Pp
pp
Recessive Allele
When there is a smaller amount of this
An allele that is hidden when the dominant allele is present
Two identical alleles
Hybrid
A car
An offspring of crosses that has two different alleles for a trait
What does this picture represent?
Hybrid
Dominant Allele
Recessive allele
A very cute mess
Punnett Square
A chart that shows all the possible combinations of alleles that can result from a genetic cross
A painting
The person who created the language of genetics
A gene
Phenotype
An organism’s physical appearance, or visible traits
A photo
A gene
A photo of an allele
Genotype
A gene type
A bad allele
An organism’s genetic makeup, or allele combinations
An organism’s physical traits
Choose which one you think is a better way to remember what a phenotype is:
Phenotype = Physical traits
Phenotype = Photo of an animal
Choose which one you think is a better way to remember what a genotype is:
Genotype = Genetic combo
Genotype = what type of data
Homozygous
Idk
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
Having two different alleles for a particular gene
Having four of the same genes
Choose which one you think is a better way to remember homozygous means:
Homozygous (two of the same letters)
Homozygous (two same looking homies)
Choose which one you think is a better way to remember what heterozygous means:
Heterozygous = ro rhymes with no (no same)
Heterozygous = (short story) ➡️ Allele 1: there is no "us" we're just too different Allele 2: Fine then we're over
Heterozygous = Hybrid
Heterozygous
Having two different alleles for a particular gene
Having two identical alleles for a particular gene
A plant
A chart
Gene
A sequence of DNA that determines a trait and is passed from parent to offspring
A person
A plant
An experiment
True or False:
Purebred and homozygous is the same thing
True
False
True or False:
Hybrid and heterozygous is the same thing
True
False
Why did Gregor Medel use pea plants?
Small, easy to grow
Characteristics easily observed
Those were the only plants he could get
He just chose random plants
Why did Gregor Medel use pea plants?
it was just a random pick
Easy to control mating
IDK
Matures quickly
