Punnett Squares

vocab

TermDefinition
Punnett Squares A diagram used to predict possible genotypes from certain parents
homozygous having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes
heterozygous Having two different alleles of a particular gene. Represented by a capital letter and a lowercase letter (Ex. Bb)
dominant A genotype where an organism inherits two dominant alleles. Represented by capital letters (Ex. BB)
recessive A genotype where an organism inherits two recessive alleles. Represented by lowercase letters (Ex. bb)
genotype The complete set of genes of an organism
phenotype The physical traits of an organism (Ex. red hair)
probability The percentage or ratio of genetic outcomes in a punnett square (Percentage - 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% : Ratio - 0:4, 1:3, 2:2, 3:1, 4:0)
heredity The passing of traits from parent to offspring
Gregor Mendel The Father of Genetics
chromosomes Are like tiny packages inside your cells that hold the instructions for your body. They are made of DNA, which contain genes that determine your traits (Ex. eye color, height)
gene A small piece of DNA, that gives instructions for what traits you’ll have. It’s passed down from parents to kids
codominance An inheritance pattern where two alleles are expressed equally, and neither allele is dominant or recessive
alleles Are versions of a gene
incomplete dominance Happens when traits mix or blend together instead of one trait showing up more than the other
polygenic traits A characteristic that is determined by more than one gene (Ex. AaBBcC)
epistaxis One gene can hide or influence the effect of another gene

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
