Sections of DNA that carry the information that determine your traits

The passing of traits from parents to offspring is called ___.

The different forms of a gene are called ___.

Our genes are packed into these structures. We have 23 pairs of these in our cells.

Which genetic disorder is this: caused by an extra 21st chromosome, a degree of intellectual disability, flattening of head & slanted eyes are some of the characteristics

Which genetic disorder is this: more common in people with African descent, causes blood cells to have an abnormal "half moon" or crescent shape, painful episodes and weakness are felt

Which genetic disorder is this: caused by two recessive genes, causes body to produce thick mucus in lungs and intestines. 1 in 20 Caucasians are carriers.

Which genetic disorder is this: Inherited on the X Chromosome, more common in males than females, the blood does not clot, causing severe bleeding if injured or cut

The genetic make up (GG, Gg, gg) of an organism (Letter combinations)

A physical appearance of an organism (Tall, short, red, white) for a trait is called a _____

What inheritance pattern shows a blend of two traits?

What inheritance pattern shows "both" dominant traits present?

What inheritance pattern has traits passed on the X chromosomes?

What advance in genetics is this: Crossbreeding a fast racehorse with another fast racehorse makes a very fast racehorse

What advance in genetics is this: The creation of the a Mule. A horse with a donkey.

What advance in genetics is this: Taking the DNA out of a white rabbit, and placing it into the empty egg of another rabbit. Then putting the egg into a surrogate mother and in a few weeks... an identical copy of the white rabbit is born.

What advance in genetics is this: Placing a gene from a jellyfish that glows in the dark into the egg of a mouse... the mouse then will grow and glow in the dark.

True or False: Women are more likely to inherit a X-linked trait.

True or False: All calico cats are male

What is the ratio from this simple inheritance cross?

BB x bb

What is the ratio from this simple inheritance cross?

SpongeBob SquarePants recently met SpongeSusie RoundPants at a dance. SpongeBob is heterozygous for his square shape, but SpongeSusie is round.  Square pants (T) is dominant to Round (t).

What are the chances of have a child with a square shape?

In humans, wavy hair (CS) results by the incomplete dominant situation of curly hair (CC) and straight hair (SS). What are the possible results if a wavy hair man and a wavy hair woman have children?

How many children will have straight hair?

A man with Type o blood is married to a woman with Type AB blood. They have two natural children and one adopted child. Jeff has Type o Blood, Joseph has Type A blood, and Jake has Type B blood. Which child is not the biological child of these parents?

Info needed: Alleles A and B are Co-Dominant, o is recessive

A mother "carries" the gene for colorblindness on one of her X chromosome. She marries a man who has normal color vision.  Capital C is normal vision. Lowercase c is for colorblindness. Make sure to put the exponent allele on the X chromosome. 

What is the probability they will have a boy who is colorblind?

In cattle, Red (RR) is codominant with white (WW). Roan (RW) is the name of the color that results from codominance. What are the possible results if a roan male mates with a roan female?

In a certain flower type, white (W) and purple (P) colors are co-dominant, and result in a purple and white "striped" (WP) flower when both genes are present. What are the possible results from the cross-pollination of a "striped" flower with a white flower?

Which scientist studied pea plants and was known as the "Father of Genetics?"

What are changes in genes that lead to genetic disorders are called?

Female Chromosomes are...

Male Chromosomes are...

A number that describes how likely it is that an event will occur is known as...
