A Punnett square is a ​ (a)   that allows you to easily determine the expected ​ (b)   of different ​ (c)   in the ​ (d)   of two parents. An example of a Punnett square for pea plants is shown here. In this example, both parents are ​ (e)   for flower color (Pp).

Choose from the below words
chart
percentage
genotypes
offspring
heterozygous
119.

In a broad sense, the term "genotype" refers to the ​ (a)   of an organism; in other words, it describes an organism's ​ (b)   . In a more narrow sense, the term can be used to refer to the ​ (c)   , or variant forms of a ​ (d)   , that are carried by an organism.

Choose from the below words
genetic makeup
complete set of genes
alleles
gene
120.

The presence of ​ (a)   at a particular ​ (b)   . A ​ (c)   genotype may include one ​ (d)   and one mutated allele or two different mutated alleles (compound heterozygote).

Choose from the below words
two different alleles
gene locus
heterozygous
normal allele
121.

Gene locus is the physical site or location of a specific ​ (a)   on a ​ (b)   .

Choose from the below words
gene
chromosome
122.

We all have two alleles, or versions, of each gene. Being ​ (a)   for a particular gene means you inherited two identical versions. It's the opposite of a ​ (b)   genotype, where the alleles are different. People who have recessive traits, like blue eyes or red hair, are always homozygous for that gene.

Choose from the below words
homozygous
heterozygous
123.

The gametes produced by the ​ (a)   are at the top of the chart, and the gametes produced by the ​ (b)   are along the side. The different possible combinations of alleles in their offspring are determined by filling in the cells of the ​ (c)   with the correct letters (alleles). 

 

Choose from the below words
female parent
male parent
Punnett square
124.

A ​ (a)   is a scoring of the type of variant present at a given location (i.e., a locus) in the genome. It can be represented by ​ (b)   . For example, BB, Bb, bb could be used to represent a given variant in a gene.

Choose from the below words
genotype
symbols
125.

In the cross shown above, you can see that ​ (a)   (25 percent) has the genotype PP, one out of four (25 percent) has the genotype pp, and ​ (b)   (50 percent) have the genotype Pp. These percentages of genotypes are what you would expect in any cross between ​ (c)   Of course, when just four offspring are produced, the actual percentages of genotypes may vary by chance from the expected percentages. However, if you considered hundreds of such crosses and thousands of offspring, you would get very close to the expected results, just like tossing a coin.

Choose from the below words
one out of four offspring
two out of four
two heterozygous parents.
126.

​ (a)   are always expressed when the connected allele is dominant, even if only one copy of the dominant trait exists. ​ (b)   are expressed only if both the connected alleles are recessive.

Choose from the below words
Dominant traits
Recessive traits
127.

A Punnett square can also be used to determine a ​ (a)   based on the other genotypes involved in a cross. Suppose you have a parent plant with purple flowers and a parent plant with white flowers. Because the p allele is r​ (b)   , you know that the white-flowered parent must have the genotype pp. The purple-flowered parent, on the other hand, could have either the PP or the Pp genotype. The Punnett square below shows this cross. The question marks (?) in the chart could be either P or p alleles.

Choose from the below words
missing genotype
ecessive
128.

one
b)
