| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A single inherited trait represented by a SINGLE letter | Allele |
| The trait that "overpowers" another trait whenever present in a pair of alleles. | Dominant |
| A trait that is"overpowered" by another. | Recessive |
| A pair of inherited alleles that determine the trait. | Genotype |
| The physical expression of a trait | Phenotype |
| Two of the same alleles together. | Homozygous/Purebred |
| Two different alleles together. | Heterozygous |
| Whose genetic information determines the gender of a human baby? | Father |
| If a homozygous dominant pair is crossed with a heterozygous pair, what percent of the offspring could be recessive? | zero |
| A change in the base sequence of DNA is called a(n)? | Mutation |
| The offspring produced by the singe-celled organism is a _________________ of the parent cell. | Clone |
| The process used to create "Dolly" the famous sheep is called? | Cloning |
| Which sheep will "Dolly" look like? | The sheep that donated the "udder" cell |
| The probability that a human offspring will be a male is? | 50% |
| Identical twins are formed when? | A fertilized egg splits |
| Does the offspring of Clyde and Claire favor one parent or is it random? | Random |
| Considering Clyde and Claire, which parent will most likely determine the gender of the child? | Father |
| This provides the instructions for all cell activity including genetic traits | DNA |
| The Father of modern genetics | Gregor Mendel |
| The creator of the tool that is used to determine the probability of the outcome of offspring. | Reginald Punnett |
