inheritance

QuestionAnswer
genes segments of an organism's DNA that produce a particular functional product
genetic variation differences in traits amoung 1 another
genotype genetic make-up
phenotype physical traits / apperance
heterozygous dominant / recessive for same allele (Tt)
homozygous dominant / dominant ; recessive / recessive for the same allele (TT) or (tt)
mutation change in the nucleotide sequence of an organism's genetic material
where do mutations occur ? anywhere
pedigree phenotypic family tree, helps in the study of gene expression and heredity in humans
dominant TT , Tt ; the big letter for the trait
recessive tt ; the little letters for the trait
allele alternat forms of a certian / particular gene
Tay-Sachs lack of an enzyme needed to break down lipids required for normal brain function; results in blindness and early death; autosomal recessive
hemophilia caused by absence of one or more protein-clotting factors; sex-linked recessive mutation
sex-linked all genes on the X chromosome
linked genes genes on the same chromosome are always inherited together (unless crossing over separates them)
monohybrid cross Tt and Tt mate
law of segregation the law that states during the formation of gametes, the two traits carried by each parent separate
Gregory Mendel father of modern genetics; collected data from a large sample of plants
law of dominance law stating that when two homozygous organisms with opposing traits breed, the offspring will be hybrids but only show the dominant phenotype
inherit get from parents or other family members
law of independent assortment applies to a cross between individuals hybrid for two or more traits; genes will assort independently
incomplete dominance blending; white flower + red flower = pink flower
codominance in hybrid condition, both traits show

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.
