Question
Answer

🗑
When two alleles of a gene are the same, what is the genotype?   homozygous  
🗑
Define Heredity   the passing on of traits from parents to offspring  
🗑
Which factor blocks or covers up another genetic factor?   dominant factor  
🗑
Which factor is blocked or seems to disappear?   recessive factor  
🗑
Define Alleles   different forms of a gene  
🗑
What tool can you use to trace traits through a family   pedigree  
🗑
Define heterozygous   the genotype when two allelels of a gene are different  
🗑
Which inheritance pattern combines the parents' phenotypes   incomplete dominance  
🗑
Define phenotype   how a trait appears or is expressed  
🗑
Which inheritance pattern occurs when multiple genes determine a trait   polygenic inheritance  
🗑
How do parents pass their genetics traits to their offspring?   through reproductive cells  
🗑
What are the 3 types of RNA?   messenger RNA transfer RNA ribosomal RNA  
🗑
If parent A has genotype (AA) and parent B has genotype (aa). What genotypes will the offspring have?   All Aa  
🗑
If parent A is heterozygous (Aa) and parent B is homozygous dominant (AA). What is the probability of the offspring inheriting the trait?   not possible The punnett square predicts the outcomes AA, AA, Aa, or Aa  
🗑
If parent A has genotype (aa) and parent B is (AA). A is dominant. What trait will the offsping have?   certain that the offspring will have the dominant trait A The punnett square predicts all outcomes are Aa  
🗑
2 orange lizards mated and had 4 offspring. 3 baby lizards were orange and 1 was green. What are the parents' genotypes?   heterozyous for green skin, which is recessive  
🗑
Define RNA   Protein are made with the help of RNA, a type of nucleic acid that carries the code for making proteins from the nucleus to the cytoplasm  
🗑
aa represents which genotype?   homozygous recessive genotype  
🗑
How is eye color determined?   polygenic inheritance  
🗑
What does a punnett square show?   all the ways that alleles can combine  
🗑
List 3 external causes of mutations.   exposure to: x-rays ultraviolet light radioactive materials

🗑
What is a gene?   a segment of DNA on a chromosome  
🗑

🗑
List the Nitrogen bases that form the rungs of the ladder in DNA   adenine cytosine guanine thymine  
🗑
What is the difference between genotype and phenotype?   genotype are the alleles phenotype is the physical appearance of traits  
🗑
Which base bonds with Adenine?   Thymine  
🗑
Which base bonds with Cytosine?   Guanine  
🗑
A heterozygous yellow plant (Aa) is crossed with a homozygous red plant (aa). If yellow is the dominant allele and red is recessive, what color ratio with the offspring have?   2 yellow: 2 red  
🗑


   

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.
