| What do genes do? | Genes are responsible for the inherited characteristics that distinguish one individual from another.
🗑
|
||||
| Genes | Genes are sections of DNA found on a chromosomes.A segment of DNA that determines the inheritance of a particular trait.
🗑
|
||||
| Genotype | The set of genes carried by the organism
🗑
|
||||
| Phenotype | The physical expression of the genotype.
🗑
|
||||
| Punnet Square | The tool which uses the combination of alleles predict the probability of traits showing up in offspring.
🗑
|
||||
| Allele | One gene from the pair of genes is called an allele.
🗑
|
||||
| Dominant Trait | A trait that will always be expressed in the phenotype as long as one dominant gene is present.
🗑
|
||||
| Recessive Trait | A trait that will be expressed in the phenotype only if two recessive alleles are present.
🗑
|
||||
| Traits | The genes that parents pass on to you.
🗑
|
||||
| Proteins | The proteins what base pairs our DNA is supposed to make.
🗑
|
||||
| Heredity | Heredity is what it is called when your parents pass traits down to you.
🗑
|
||||
| Genetics | The code that comes from your DNA and determines how you are on the outside and how you function.
🗑
|
||||
| Mendel | By cross pollinating pea plants, Gregor Mendel discovered the laws of inheritance. Mendel's discoveries included
-genes come in pairs
-genes are inherited as separate units, one from each parent
-dominant and recessive genes
🗑
|
||||
| Mendel's Laws of Heredity | Segregation: Each inherited trait is defined by a gene pair
Children gain one genetic allele from each parent
Independent Assortment: Genes are inherited independently
Dominance: If an organism has a dominant trait that trait will be expressed.
🗑

| Miescher | Miescher isolated nuclein, or what we call DNA, from white blood cells.
🗑
|
||||
| Watson and Crick | Using some of Franklin's research Watson and Crick developed a model of the double helix. Watson and Crick are the ones credited for it.
🗑
|
||||
| Chromosomes | Chromosomes are made up of long strands of DNA and genes.
🗑
|
||||
| DNA | DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. DNA is made up of nucleic bases and genes. DNA uses nucleic acids in the body to make proteins. DNA is held together by bonds between nitrogen based compounds (A,C,T,G).
🗑

||||
| By cross pollinating pea plants _________ came up with the laws of inheritance. | Gregor Mendel
🗑
|
||||
| _____ are responsible for the traits that distinguish one person from another. | Genes
🗑
|
||||
| ________ are made up of long strands of genes, DNA, and base pairs | Chromosomes
🗑
|
||||
| Genes usually come in _____. | pairs
🗑
|
||||
| Dominant traits are written as _______ letters. | capital
🗑
|
||||
| _________ traits are written as lower case letters. | Recessive
🗑
|
||||
| An organism can only have a recessive _______ if they have a recessive gene pair. | phenotype
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
