Heredity 8

Heredity and Evol. 8

QuestionAnswer
Heredity Passing of traits to offspring
DNA found in the cell’s nucleus · A molecule : Deoxyribonucleic acid · Genetic material that carries information about an organism from parent to offspring · Information on DNA directs cell functions
Gene A segment of DNA on a chromosome that codes for a specific trait
Chromosome A form of DNA that is condensed or “wound up” · There are many genes on one chromosome · Each chromosome is one strand of DNA . humans have 2 complete sets of 23 chromosomes [46 total] )
Trait A characteristic that an organism can pass on to its offspring
Hybrid or heterozygous Two different alleles are present for a trait ( Tt)
Purebred or Homozygous Two alleles are the same for a trait ( TT or tt)
Allele The different forms of a gene
Dominant allele An allele whose trait always shows up when it is present in an organism
Recessive allele An allele that is masked when a dominant allele is present
Co dominance the alleles of a gene are neither dominant or recessive · Both traits Cooperate and appear · Written as BW or TbFw · Example: black chicken + white chicken= black and white chicken( BW)
Incomplete Dominance An intermediate phenotype occurs when a heterozygous offspring is produced · A blending of the dominant and recessive trait appears · Written as Bb · Example: black chicken + white chicken= grey chicken

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.
