| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| father of genetics who studied pea plants | Gregor Mendel |
| "type" that is based on genetic information (alleles pairs) | genotype |
| "type" that is based on physical trait (visible appearance) | phenotype |
| different form of the same gene Example: A & a | allele |
| segment of DNA that codes for a specific trait | gene |
| genotypes made of the SAME alleles Example: GG | homozygous |
| genotypes made of DIFFRENT alleles Example: Gg | heterozygous |
| allele that is ALWAYS expressed ; only needs 1 upper cased letter | dominant |
| allele that is only expressed in the homozygous state ; need 2 lower cased letters | recessive |
| Mendel's research using only "either or" traits (2 options) | complete dominance |
| Diagram used to predict the genotype of the offspring | Punnett square |
| Punnett square used to figure out the genotype of 1 of the parents when the offspring's info is known (other parent is homozygous recessive) | test cross |
| 1 out of 4 to percent | 25% |
| 2 out of 4 to percent | 50% |
| 4 out of 4 to percent | 100% |
| 3 out of 4 to percent | 75% |
| 0 out of 4 percent | 0% |
| their information will be placed inside a Punnett square | offspring's genotypes |
| their information is placed outside of a Punnett square | parents' genotypes |
| single trait caused by many genes | polygenetic trait |
| when 2 genes are likely to be inherited together because they are close on the chromosome | genetic linkage |
| Punnett square that looks at 2 traits using 16 boxes | dihybrid cross |
| Punnett square that looks at 1 trait using 4 boxes | monohybrid cross |
| 2 factors that make up most human phenotypes | genotype and environment |
| states that the inheritance of alleles for 1 trait has zero effect on the inheritance of alleles for another trait | law of independent assortment |
| blood alleles that illustrate co-dominance | blood alleles A and B |
| blood alleles O |
