Variation of Traits
Biology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The field of biology. Shows us how the characteristics are transferred from parent to offspring. | genetics |
| He blended the theory that offspring have a blend or mix of the characteristics of their parents. | Gregor Mendel |
| Passing down traits from parents to kids. | heredity |
| Is the fertilization step in the sexual reproduction of plants. | pollination |
| The male reproductive part of a plant. | anther |
| The female reproductive part of the flower. | stigma |
| Plant that pollinates itself. | self-pollination |
| One plant pollinates another plant. | cross-pollination |
| Have a lot of the same (tall traits are all tall, no short traits in it). | pure |
| Denotes plants that are pure for a specific trait. | strain |
| It is the parental generation, and is cross-pollinated. | P1 generation |
| The offspring of the P1 generation, and is self-pollinated. | F1 generation |
| Offspring of the F1 generation. | F2 generation |
| Is the pair from the parents that were the same. | dominant |
| Is each chromosome from the parents that are different on the pair of the chromosome. | recessive |
| It states that there are two factors controlling a given characteristic, one of which dominates the other, and these factors separate and go to different gametes when a parent reproduces. | law of segregation |
| It states that factors controlling different characteristics are inherited independently of each other. | law of independent assortment |
| Alleles individual inherits make up the individual. The two alleles may be the same of different. | genotype |
| An organism with two alleles of the same type (BB or bb). | homozygous |
| An organism with two different alleles (Bb). | heterozygous |
