Question
Answer
Mendel was the first person to succeed in predicting how traits are _________ from generation to generation.   Inherited  
🗑
In peas, both male and female sex cells, which are called _______, are in the same flower.   Gametes  
🗑
________________ occurs when a male gamete fuses with a female gamete in the same flower.   Self-pollination  
🗑
Mendel used the technique called _________________ to breed one plant with another.   Cross-Pollination  
🗑
Mendel studied only one _____ at a time and analyzed his data mathematically.   Trait  
🗑
In individuals with a heterozygous genotype, the _________ allele of a trait is hidden by the expression of the other phenotype.   Recessive  
🗑
In individuals with a heterozygous genotype, the ________ allele of a trait is visible in the phenotype.   Dominant  
🗑
A cross between plants that involves one characteristic is called a __________ cross.   Monohybrid  
🗑
Mendel also performed ________ crosses, which involve two ____ pairs, with pea plants.   Dihybrid, gene  
🗑
When he crossed two pea plants that were heterozygous for bothseed shape (Rr) and for seed color (Yy), he observed a 9:3:3:1 ________________ among the seeds of the offspring.   Phenotypic ratio  
🗑
A Punnett square shows the possible phenotypes and _________ of the offspring.   Genotypes  
🗑
A ________ shows the inheritance of a particular trait over several generations.   Pedigree  
🗑
An organism with two of the same alleles for a particular trait are said to be __________ for that trait.   Homozygous  
🗑
An organism with two different _______ for a particular trait is heterozygous for that trait.   Alleles  
🗑
When alleles are present in the ____________ state, the ________ trait will be observable.   Heterozygous, dominant  
🗑
An individual who is heterozygous for a _________ disorder is called a carrier.   Recessive  
🗑
Examples of recessive genetic disorders in humans are _______________ and ________.   Cystic fibrosis, albinism

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.
