Question
Answer
The transmission of traits from their parents to their offspring is:   Heredity  
🗑
Referring to an allele that masks the presence of another allele for the same characteristic:   Dominant  
🗑
Referring to a pair of alleles that are identical   Homozygous  
🗑
Referring to an allele that is masked by the presence of another allele for the same characteristic:   Recessive  
🗑
The external appearance of an organism that is determined by the individual's genotype is one's   Phenotype  
🗑
The genetic makeup of an organism is its   Genotype  
🗑
Characteristics of the species or individuals of the species such as tallness or shortness,eye color,foot length or tail length can be observed are called:   Traits  
🗑
Referring to a pair of alleles that are not identical   Heterozygous  
🗑
The number of times an event is expected to happen divided by the number of opportunities for an event to happen is   Probability  
🗑
The field of biology devoted to understanding how traits are passed from parents to offspring is   Genetics  
🗑
An alternative form of a gene is an   Allele  
🗑
An inheritance relationship in which one allele is completely dominant over is:   Complete Dominance  
🗑
The dominant trait for hair-length in hampsters is short hair (S). The recessive trait is long hair (s). Which of the following genotypes yields progeny with long hair?   ss  
🗑
Who is the "father of genetics?"   Gregor Mendel  
🗑
Pick the best defintion for "genetics"   Field of Biology that is devoted to understanding how traits are transmitted from parents to offspring.  
🗑
If brown hair (H) is dominant trait and blonde hair (h) is recessive trait, the genotype Hh produces what phenotype?   Brown  
🗑
Briefly describe an allele?   Alternate form of a gene.  
🗑
How many phenotypes are possible from and an incomplete dominance situation? For example, Red flowers are incompletely dominant to white flowers in Jap. 4 o'clocks. What phenotypes would be possible? What genotypes?   three phenotypes... Red, white and pink. Genotypes- RR, Rw, and ww  
🗑
Synonym for homozygous   pure  
🗑

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.
