Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
genotype   the entire genetic makeup of an organism; also the combination of genes for one or more specific traits  
🗑
phenotype   an organism's appearance or other detectable characteristic that results from the organism's genotype and the environment  
🗑
homozygous   describes an individual that has identical alleles for a trait on both homologous chromosomes  
🗑
heterozygous   describes an individual; that has two different alleles for a trait  
🗑
probability   the likelihood that a possible future event will occur in any given instance of the event; the mathematical ratio of the number of times one outcome of any event is likely to occur to the number of possible outcomes of the event  
🗑
monohybrid cross   a cross between individuals that involves one pair of contrasting traits  
🗑
Punnett Square   a graphic used to predict the results of a genetic cross  
🗑
genotypic ratio   the ratio of the genotypes that appear in offspring  
🗑
phenotypic ratio   the ratio of phenotypes produced by a cross  
🗑
testcross   the crossing of an individual of unknown genotype with a homozygous recessive individual to determine the unknown genotype  
🗑
complete dominance   a relationship in which one allele is completely dominant over another  
🗑
incomplete dominance   a condition in which a trait in an individual is intermediate between the phenotype of the individuals two parents because the dominant allele is unable to express itself fully  
🗑
codominance   a condition in which both alleles for a gene are fully expressed  
🗑
dihybrid cross   a cross between individuals that have different alleles for the same gene  
🗑


   

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.
