The bird had an amazing pattern across its feathers that flashed iridescently in the sun. This is an example of...?
Phenotype
Genotype
Non-inherited traits
Dominant feathering
The two letters that code for a certain phenotype. These letters represent the alleles that have been passed from each parent. When the alleles are paired together you end up with...?
Genotype
Phenotype
Codominance
DNA
My puppy ended up with patches of red and patches of white. His mother was completely white. His father; completely red. This is an example of...?
Codominance
Incomplete Dominance
Recessive Inheritance
That's actually a kitten.
A black feathered chicken and a white feathered chicken mate. The offspring chickens end up with a grayish/ blue color. This is an example of...?
Incomplete dominance
Codominance
Fluffy weird chicken inheritance
That's actually a goose.
This is what it is called when the alleles of an ordered pair are different. One allele is dominant in this pair; one is recessive.
Heterozygous
Homozygous
Outerzygous
Zygousozygous
This is what it is called when the alleles of an ordered pair are the same. The pair could be dominant or recessive, but not both.
Homozygous
Heterozygous
Incomplete pairing
Missing chromosome
Different forms of the same gene pair up; one from the father and one from the mother. These are called...?
Alleles
DNYAY!
Base pairs
Adenine
A couple who are both heterozygous expressors of a trait used one of these to figure out the chances they have to pass on the trait. It gave them pretty good idea about what to expect.

Mendelian Genetics
My friend noticed that I share many traits with my father and my mother. I have my dad's nose and hair, and I seem to have my mom's sense of humor. This is a great example of...?
Heredity
Genotypes
The answer is in the comic. Don't choose this one.
Genetic Sequencing
This is the complete set of genes for an individual. We looked at an example of one of these for Dr. Craig Venter that had been printed out letter, by letter, by letter...
Genome
Cell membrane
5 genes
Pent 1 grade report... so many C-'s
This unit of heredity determines how specific proteins are made. These proteins then allow our bodies to express traits; some observable, some internal.
Gene
DNA
Nucleotide
Phenotype
DNA is organized basically in the shape of a twisted ladder. What is this called?
Double Helix
Triple Helix
Octagonal Twizzler
Square
The bases that make up our genetic code are Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine.
They are called______________ _________________?

Chromosomal Legoblockiums
Draw the best DNA molecule the world has ever seen.
There are about 20 different kinds of this tiny chemical building block. They are sometimes called "the building blocks of life."
Amino Acids
Proteins
Nuclei
Mitochondria
(a) are constructed by amino acids coming together and folding itself into specific shapes. These shapes determine function. If the shape is not folded correctly, it will typically not work well, or at all.
This is how genes get organized, stay untangled, and remain accessible. Humans (typically) contain 23 pairs of these. (Or 46 total.)
Chromosomes
Chromowers
Alleles
Codominant Traits
Match the following nucleotide bases with their appropriate pair...
Guanine
Thymine
Adenine
Cytosine
Cytosine
Guanine
DNA is a key element for the making of proteins and the function of every living thing that we are aware of. DNA stands for a term that is much longer and more difficult to spell. Write the answer below... It must be spelled correctly.
