Genetics

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
homozygous   when two alleles are the same or identical BB, rr, tt,GG  
🗑
heterozygous   when two alleles are different Gg, Hh, Tt  
🗑
phenotype   the physical appearance of a trait-yellow, tall, round, wrinkled  
🗑
genotype   the genetic make-up, the alleles (letters), Gg, TT, Rr, gg  
🗑
dominant   the trait that is expressed and only needs one capital letter  
🗑
recessive   the trait that is hidden unless both alleles are present bb, rr, gg, tt lowercase letters  
🗑
alleles   the alternate forms of a gene  
🗑
incomplete dominance   neither allele is completely dominant over another so the phenotype is a MIX of the two alleles, ex. red and white flowers make pink rr, ww, rw  
🗑
codominance   both alleles are dominant so in the heterozygous form you see both alleles. AB blood type  
🗑
sex-linked traits   occur on the X chromosome only  
🗑
female   XX  
🗑
male   XY  
🗑
karyotype   shows the chromosomes in an organism also sex of organism and any abnormalities or genetic disorders  
🗑
independent assortment   gene pairs segregate (separate) into gametes randomly and independent of each other GT, Gt, gT, gt  
🗑
Punnett square   used to predict the offspring and determine probability  
🗑
Mendel   father of genetics  
🗑
GgTT x ggTt   dihybrid cross  
🗑
A, B, O, AB   possible blood types  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
