Study For Genetics Biology
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The Father of Genetics;Discovered genetics by breeding peas in his garden and cross pollinating plants | Gregor Mendel |
| The scientific study of heredity | Genetics |
| he passing of traits from parents to offspring | Heredity |
| Taking the pollen from another plant and rubbed it on the pistil of a different plant from which the stames had been removed (so they cant self pollinate) | Cross Pollination |
| always produces offspring with the same form of a trait as the parent | Purebred |
| The opposite of Purebred with the opposite form of a trait as the parent | Hybrid |
| Name given to the offspring of the first cross | Filial (F1) generation |
| the factors that control each trait that exist in pairs (Female and Male together) | Pairs |
| the factors that control traits | Genes |
| The different forms of a gene (such as tall or short, wrinkled or smooth) | Alleles |
| One whose trait always shows up when the allele is present | Dominant Allele |
| is masked (or covered up) when the dominant allele is present. They only show up if a dominant allele is not present | Recessive Allele |
| Can be used to calculate the probability that offspring will have a certain combination of alleles | Punnett Square |
| The physical appearance of the offspring. (ex. Tall or Short) | Phenotype |
| The genetic makeup or allele combination of the offspring. | Genotype |
| (purebred) 2 of the same alleles TT or tt | Homozygous |
| (hybrid) 2 different alleles Tt or tT which are the same thing | Heterozygous |
