| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what are genetic variation? | genetic variation differences in traits among individuals. |
| what is are genes? | genes are unique segments of an organism's dna that produce a particular functional product. |
| what is an trait? | particular aspect of life. |
| what is an allele? | alternate forms of a particular gene. |
| what is the meaning of genotype? | genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism |
| what is the meaning of phenotype? | phenotype is the visible traits |
| what is heterozygous? | heterozygous is the letter witch is genotype big t little t Tt |
| what is homozygous? | homozygous is two same letter witch is genotype two big letter are two little letter |
| what is Mendel's Rules of Inheritance? | Mendel's Rules of Inheritance When organisms with known genotypes are crossed with one another, the pattern of inheritance can generally be predicted |
| what is an dominant gene | an dominant gene in the the over all phenotype that the offspring will get (E) |
| what is an recessive gene | an recessive is just an holder of the gene (e) |
| what is a Punnett square | a Punnett square a square were one parent gene is written across the top and the other is written down the left side you put them togathe and list the offspring on inside this help you find how the offspring will be |
| what is an test cross | a test cross is done When the genotype of a parent is not known. |
| what is an incompletely dominant | an incompletely dominant is a phenotype that is intermediate between the two allelic traits can be observe. |
| what is an Codominance? | Codominance is when the alleles express both traits in some kind of mixed pattern. |
| what is multiple alleles | multiple alleles or more than two different alleles present in varying amounts in a given population |
| what is an human pedigree | a human pedigree is phenotypic family tree |
| what is gene expression | The way genes interact to produce an organism's traits is called gene expression. |
