Question
Answer
all of the features a person inherits from their parents   traits  
🗑
a complete molecule shaped like a twisted ladder it contains all of the info required to produce a living thing   DNA  
🗑
a part of the DNA code on a chromosomes humans have tens of thousands of genes on their chromosomes   Gene  
🗑
the gene that an organism has, its genetic makeup   Genotype  
🗑
what you see when you look at an organism its the genetic makeup and the environment's effect on the makeup   Phenotype  
🗑
the passing of traits   Heredity  
🗑
the study of heredity   Genetics  
🗑
first researcher to use numbers to describe the results of genetic experiiments ( pea plants )   Gregor Mendel  
🗑
different forms of a gene   Allelle  
🗑
when an allele will show their effect on the phenotype only when 2 of them for a train are present in the genotype   Recessive  
🗑
mendel concluded that each parent passes only one of the allels for a trait to its offspring this explains why variation exists among the offspring of parents   Principles of Segregation  
🗑
helps understand and make genetic predictions   Punnet Square  
🗑
the change in the genetics of a species over time (Darwin's Theory)   evolution  
🗑
organisms that are better adapted to an enviroment survive and repoduce at a greater rate than organsims that are not   Natural Selection  
🗑
the process in which DNA changes results in new allels   Mutation  
🗑
the production of several species from one ancesteral species   Adaptive radiation  
🗑
when a species dies out   Extinction  
🗑
every living thing has ___ , ___ that came from their parents   features, characteristics  
🗑
each trait results from the __ info in the hereditary material called __, which is formed in every cell   coded, DNA  
🗑
in cells that have a nucleus, __ is formed in chromosomes   DNA  
🗑
some fish are born with the ability to change their __   Gender  
🗑
when an allele will show their effect on the phenotype whenever they are present in the genotype   Dominant  
🗑
an international effort for providing info about genetics of humans   the human genome project  
🗑
some environmental factors like __, __ , and __ limit whether a species can survive in that habitat   pollution, climate, rainfall  
🗑
the __ and __ the animal the better chance it has to survive   bigger, stronger  
🗑


   

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.
