Mendelain Genetics
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Transmission of characteristics to offspring | Inheritance |
| Physical appearance of a trait formed by genetics and environment | Phenotype |
| "BLANK" is the most powerful trait or the allele for that trait | Dominant Phenotype |
| "BLANK" are traits that are masked if dominant alleles are also present. | Recessive Phenotype |
| Organisms that have a pair of identical alleles for a particular gene are "BLANK" for that gene. | homozygous |
| If the organism has different alleles for a gene, then it is "BLANK" for that gene. | heterozygous |
| A "BLANK" is a handy mathematical tool for predicting the phenotypes of offspring based on the genotypes of the parents. | Punnett square |
| Genes are located on "BLANK", which come in pairs | chromosomes |
| Organisms like humans and pea plants are "BLANK" , meaning that their cells contain two sets of chromosomes. | diploid |
| We call the diploid state, "BLANK", where n represents one set of chromosomes | 2n |
| Cell division in a diploid organism is preceded by "BLANK" of the genome | Replication |
| The duplicated chromosomes are organized and then separated from one another in a cell division process known as | Mitosis. |
