Genetic Study Guide
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the difference between heterozygous genotype? | Heterozygous means two alleles. Tt. Homozygous means two of the same alleles TT or tt |
| What genotype is considered hybrid? | Hybrid means different alleles Tt |
| What genotype is considered pure bred? | Purebred means the same alleles. TT or Tt |
| What is a genotype? give me an example | The genes are represented with letter Ex. TT, Tt, or tt |
| What is phenotype? give me an example | Tye physical trait Ex. Blonde hair, blue eyes |
| How many alleles for a trait does each parent give? | Each parent contributes one allele for each trait |
| How many chromosomes do we have? | Each parent gives chromosomes to total 46, 23 pairs |
| What is a dominant allele represented by? | Dominant alleles are represented by a capital letter |
| When does a dominant phenotype show up? | They show up in a phenotype whenever they are present. Bb or BB the dominant trait would show |
| Why would a Punnett Square be used in genetics? | Punnett Squares are used to predict possible outcomes in offsprings, to find the probability of having offspring |
| Complete a Punnett Square to cross between two heterozygous brown eyed parents. | B= brown eyes b= blue eyes |
| What are the possible genotypic ratios of the offspring. | 3:1 |
| What % of offspring are expected to be brown eyed | 90% |
| Complete a Punnett Square to cross pure wrinkled seed and a pure smooth seed | S= smooth. s= wrinkled |
| What are the possible genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the offspring? What % of offspring are expected to be smooth seeds? | 4:0 0% |
