| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ___________ is the transmission of genetic information from parent to offspring, which generally follows predictable patterns in organisms. | Heredity |
| The study of inheritance as a modern branch of science began in the mid-19th century with the work of _______________, a monk who bred pea plants. | Gregor Mendel |
| ____________ study not only the transmission of genes but also the expression of genetic information. | Geneticists |
| The physical appearance of an organism is the ____________. | phenotype |
| The term ________ refers to the alternative forms of a gene. | alleles |
| The ________ __ ___________ states that before sexual reproduction occurs, the two alleles carried by an individual parent must become separated. | principles of segregation |
| __________ are genes that govern variations of the same character and occupy corresponding loci on homologous chromosomes. | Alleles |
| A _________ cross is the inheritance of two different alleles of a single locus. | monohybrid |
| A _________ _________ predicts the ratios of the various offspring of a cross in the form of a grid. | Punnett square |
| The Punnett square was devised by an early English geneticist named _____________. | Sir Reginald Punnett |
| An organism's ___________ is its appearance with respect to a certain inherited trait. | phenotype |
| A _____ _________ is where an individual of unknown genotype is crossed with a hoozygous recessive individual. | test cross |
| A mating of individuals with different alleles at two loci is called a __________ cross. | dihybrid |
| The _______________, also known as the Sutton-Boveri theory, states that inheritance can be explained by assuming that genes are linearly arranged in specific locations along chromosomes. | chromosome theory of inheritance |
| The _______________, also known as the Sutton-Boveri theory, states that inheritance can be explained by assuming that genes are linearly arranged in specific locations along chromosomes. | chromosome theory of inheritance |
| The _______ rule predicts the combined probabilities of independent events. | product |
| The _____ rule predicts the combined probabilities of mutually exclusive events. | sum |
| Any process that leads to new gene combinations is called _____________. | recombination |
| ________ ____________ is a mechanism that makes equivalent the two doses in the female and the single dose in the male. | Dosage compensation |
| The ability of a single gene to have multiple effects is known as ____________. | pleiotrophy |
| __________ is a common type of gene interaction in which the presence of certain alleles of one locus can prevent or mask the expression of alleles of a different locus and express their own phenotype instead. | Epistasis |
| The range of phenotypic possibilities that can develop from a single genotype under different environmental conditions is known as the _____________________. | norm of reaction |
