Question
Answer
specific characteristics that vary among individuals   traits  
🗑
the offspring of true-breeding parents, possibly having different traits   hybrid  
🗑
factors that determine traits ( factors was Mendel's term for these)   genes  
🗑
sex cells, egg or sperm   gametes  
🗑
the different forms of a gene   alleles  
🗑
the form of the gene that is expressed ( if two factors are present and one of the factors is ___ it will be expressed)   dominant  
🗑
the form of the gene that is hidden or masked( this will only be expressed when two of these are present)   recessive  
🗑
Inheritance is determined by individual units called ____   genes  
🗑
the individual units that determine inheritance are passed on from parents to offspring through the parent's _______   gametes  
🗑
sexual reproduction includes the cell division process of ___ and the making of a diploid zygote by the process of ____   meiosis and fertilization  
🗑
with traits that have more than one form such as peas that are yellow or green.. some forms of the gene are ____ and only one gene needs to be present to be expressed   dominant  
🗑
some forms of genes are ____ and can only appear when that organisms has 2 of them   recessive  
🗑
the only way to be recessive is two have two of the same genes or alleles which is called ____ ( use proper genetic term)   homozygous  
🗑
If the organism has 2 different genes such as Tt they are called ___( use the proper genetic term)   heterozygous  
🗑
In peas if T= tall and t = dwarf , and organism that if Tt will show the ____ form of the trait and be tall   dominant  
🗑
An individual has ____ (#) factor(s) per trait and gives ___# factor(s) per trait to their offspring   2 and 1  
🗑
If an individual is described as having 2 traits, then its genotype should have ___(#) factors   4 ( 2 per trait)  
🗑
The individual's factors that are described by pairs of letters for every trait is called the ___   genotype  
🗑
When gametes are formed, the pairs of hereditary factors ____ so that each sex cell can donate 1 per trait   separate  
🗑
What is Mendel's law of Segregation   when gametes are formed the genes that are in the parent separate to make the egg or sperm .. then when fertilization occurs the gene pair will unite in a NEW offspring for the next generation  
🗑


   

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.
