|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Traits are inherited as discrete units. Biological inheritance is determined by factor that are passed from one generation to the next -- genes.
🗑
|
||||
| 2. Principle of Dominance | Some alleles are dominant (trait is expressed) and some are recessive (trait is not expressed when dominant present).
🗑
|
||||
| 3. Principle of Segregation | 2 copies of each gene separate during gamete formation. (Each adult has 2 copies of each gene- one from each parent. These genes separate from each other when gametes are formed (during meiosis)).
🗑
|
||||
| 4. Principle of Independent Assortment | Inheritance of one trait does not influence inheritance of another.
🗑
|
||||
| Homozygous | (Pure) Both alleles are the same.
🗑
|
||||
| Heterozygous | (Hybrid) Each allele is different.
🗑
|
||||
| Genotype | 2 alleles (Aa, AA, aa).
🗑
|
||||
| Phenotype | Physical characteristic.
🗑
|
||||
| Allele | Different versions of a gene (A, a, B, b).
🗑
|
||||
| In a test cross to find the unknown genotype, use... | Pure/homozygous recessive.
🗑
|
||||
| Is this correct? WrWR | No, it isn't. This should be written as WWRr.
🗑
|
||||
| Gamete | A mature haploid male or female cell that is able to unite with another to form a zygote.
🗑
|
||||
| Diploid | A cell with paired chromosomes (before meiosis).
🗑
|
||||
| Haploid | A cell with half the chromosomes (after meiosis).
🗑

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.
