|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who is called the Father of Genetics(they discovered how genes work) | Gregory Mendel
🗑
|
||||
| What plant did The father of Genetics study? | The pea plant
🗑
|
||||
| Heredity | This is when a parent passes on traits or features to their child Ex: shortness, eyecolor
🗑
|
||||
| Traits | These are characterists or quality like height, eye color etc.
🗑
|
||||
| Genetics | The science that studies Heredity
🗑
|
||||
| Purebred organism | These organism have genes that are alike for a trait ex: TT for tall tall
🗑
|
||||
| Children are called what? | offsprings
🗑
|
||||
| Filial | Generations(groups). Sons or daughters
🗑
|
||||
| fertilization | Process where sperm and eggs mix to make a new organism. In pea plants the Pollen must 1st reach the Pistil of the Pea Flower!!!
🗑
|
||||
| Genes | These are the things that control a trait and make us look tall or short etc...
🗑
|
||||
| Alleles | These are the different genes that are shown with letters
🗑
|
||||
| phenotype | These are the visible characteristics of a person that we can see like eye color, and being tall or short.
🗑
|
||||
| Genotype | These are the genes or the genetic makeup of an organism ex: xy, bb
🗑
|
||||
| Dominant Allele | These are the stronger genes and they mask or hide the other weaker genes. Usually marked with capital letters ex: TT
🗑
|
||||
| Recessive Allele | These genes don't show up in the organisms because they are weaker and get hidden by the stronger genes. Shown by lowercase letters.
🗑
|
||||
| Hybrid | The organism has 2 different alleles for a trait ex:Bg, cs
🗑
|
||||
| Incomplete Dominance | This happens when genes mix or blend together and neither gene dominates over the other. They have equal strength
🗑
|
||||
| Probability | This number tells the likelihood that something will happen or occur
🗑
|
||||
| Punnett Square | This chart help you see the probability of traits happening. It shows all the combinations that can result for a combination of traits.
🗑
|
||||
| Homozygous | Identical or the same alleles for a trait, they are a purebred
🗑
|
||||
| Heterozygous | Organism has 2 different alleles for a trait. They are a hybrid or mixture
🗑
|
||||
| Codominance | The alleles are not dominant or recessive, they mix together and have same strength
🗑

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.
