|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In sexual reproduction, | the offspring receive ONLY HALF of the genes from each parent. This is why the offspring DO NOT look exactly alike.
🗑
|
||||
| genetics | the study of heredity
🗑
|
||||
| Gregor Mendel | father of genetics
🗑
|
||||
| allele | different forms of a single gene
🗑
|
||||
| dominant allele | a variation of a gene that masks a recessive allele. It is represented by a capital letter when doing Punnett Squares.
🗑
|
||||
| recessive allele | a variation of a gene that is hidden by a dominant allele. It is represented by a lower case letter when doing Punnett Squares.
🗑
|
||||
| genes | segments of DNA that carry hereditary information from the parents to the offspring. They are the codes for proteins and are found on chromosomes.
🗑
|
||||
| genotype | an organism’s genetic make up. The two alleles that make up the gene. For example TT, or Bb, or Yy.
🗑
|
||||
| phenotype | the physical characteristic of an organism. For eacmple: brown hair , blue eyes, tongue roller. It is the trait that is physically seen.
🗑
|
||||
| pure bred | both allels for the gene are the same. For example: BB, bb, or tt, or YY.
🗑
|
||||
| hybrid | One allele for the gene is dominant and one is recessive. Hybrid genotypes always lead to dominant phenotypes.
🗑
|
||||
| heredity | the passing on of traits from parents to offspring.
🗑
|
||||
| Punnett Squares | a chart used to help you figure out the probability of receiving a trait.
🗑
|
||||
| probability | in genetics, probability is the chance of getting a certain genotype or phenotype.
🗑
|
||||
| Butterflies, fruit flies, and frogs all go through | Metamorphosis
🗑
|
||||
| The metamorphosis of a butterfly and a fruit fly is called _____________________. The metamorphosis of a frog though is called incomplete because there is no cocoon or pupa stage. | complete metamorphosis
🗑
|
||||
| The four stages of development for the fruit fly are | Egg, Larva, Pupa, and Adult.
🗑
|
||||
| Inside the nucleus of a human cell are __ chromosome The chromosomes are made of DNA. We can compare a chromosome to a ball of yarn. The ball itself is the chromosome and the yarn is the DNA. | 46
🗑
|
||||
| DNA is made of four nitrogen bases, adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C) and guanine (G). Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with cytosine.The way you look is determined by proteins.The proteins that you are made from are determi | True
🗑
|
||||
| ____________is when you choose two organisms of the same species to mate for a particular purpose. Farmers have been doing this for many years. For example, let's say a farmer had a small crop of tomatoes that had a dominant allele for largeness. In this | Selective breeding

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.
