Question
Answer
the basic form of heredity; indicates the traits or characteristics found or displayed by an individual   genes  
🗑
includes an individual's traits that are passed down from parents   heredity  
🗑
condensed DNA; each has several genes   chromosomes  
🗑
genetic material that is passed down form parents to offspring   DNA  
🗑
a pair of chromosomes, may have alleles   homolog  
🗑
the two different copies of the same gene   alleles  
🗑
where the genes are found on the chromosome   loci  
🗑
the genotype has two dominant alleles; shown in the phenotype when only one dominant copy is present   homozygous dominant alleles  
🗑
the genotype has two recessive alleles   homozygous recessive alleles  
🗑
a genotype that has one dominant and one recessive allele   heterozygous allele  
🗑
the names of genes that you cannot see; inherited form family   genotype  
🗑
an outward visible characteristic that genes are responsible for   phenotype  
🗑
used to determine the possible genotype of the resulting phenotype   punnet square  
🗑
the father of genetics   Gregor Mendel  
🗑
What our bodies use to fight off a virus?   Antibodies  
🗑
We inherit traits   characteristics  
🗑
simple outward characteristics, what you can see clearly   qualitative  
🗑
traits that you cannot see very clearly   quantitive  
🗑
Mendelian characteristics were ___________ traits   qualitative  
🗑
have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell   gamete  
🗑
cell division with 1 replication of chromosomes but with 2 divisions of cell producing gametes   meiosis  
🗑
   
🗑
determines the phenotype even when only one copy is present   dominant gene  
🗑
two copies must be present to be seen as the phenotype   recessive gene  
🗑
produced by meiosis; egg/sperm reproductive cells; 1/2 the number of chromosomes   gametes  
🗑
body cell division; daughter cell have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell   mitosis  
🗑
combining of egg and sperm to produce offspring   fertilization  
🗑
pair of chromosomes   homolog  
🗑
produced from mitosis and the cells contain all chromosomes   diploid  
🗑
produced from meiosis and the cells contain 1/2 chromosomes   haploid  
🗑


   

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.
