genetics-mono/dihybrid crosses
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| studied pea plants and used probability to make predictions about future offspring | Gregor Mendel |
| lived in 1800's | Gregor Mendel |
| used the scientific method when most scientists used observation and description | Gregor Mendel |
| studied one trait at a time | Gregor Mendel |
| Used mathematics of probability to make predictions | Gregor Mendel |
| passing of traits from parents to offspring | inheritance |
| segments of DNA on a chromosome or a chromatid that control a particular trait | gene |
| occurs in pairs b/c there is one on each homologous chromosome | allele |
| purebred generation of Mendel's experiments | parental |
| generation that comes from breeding of parental generations | filial |
| dominant allele masks (covers up)the recessive allele | Principle of Dominance and Recessiveness |
| used to predict the results of a cross without actually crossing the traits | punnett square |
| large letter stands for ________ _________ | dominant allele |
| small letter stands for _________ _________ | recessive allele |
| ________ ________ represents 100% probability for each offspring | punnett square |
| actual genetic makeup of an organism | genotype |
| 2 dominant alleles | homozygous dominant |
| the genotype BB is an example of _______ __________ | homozygous dominant |
| one recessive and one dominant allele | heterozygous |
| the genotype Bb is an example of _______ | heterozygous |
| 2 recessive alleles | homozygous recessive |
| physical description of a trait which comes from the genotype | phenotype |
| cross involves one trait/one genotype | monohybrid |
| cross involves two traits | dihybrid |
| the genotype bb is an example of this type of genotype | recessive |
| alternate expression of a gene | allele |
