Question
Answer
The genetic makeup of a cell is called its?   Genotype  
🗑
The physical traits of an organism is called its?   Phenotype  
🗑
An example of a phenotype is a cat who is Bb. (true/false)   False  
🗑
What are the possible genotypes for someone with curly hair. (use C as your letter)   Cc, cc, CC  
🗑
An example of a phenotype is a plant with yellow flowers. (true/false)   True  
🗑
Define allele   are different versions of the same gene  
🗑
A recessive allele is an allele that is weaker and can be overpowered. (true/false)   True  
🗑
The symbol for a recessive allele is a CAPITAL letter.   False. !Bonus! What is the actual symbol?  
🗑
A dominant allele overpowers a recessive allele. (true/false)   True  
🗑
The symbol for a dominant allele is a CAPITAL letter   True  
🗑
How many sets does an allele come in? From which parent?   they come in sets of 2, one from mom and one from dad  
🗑
Define Homozygous Dominant *(how many allleles?)   2 Dominant alleles  
🗑
Define heterozygous *(how many allleles?)   1 dominant allele and 1 recessive allele  
🗑
What letter case symbolizes Homozygous Dominant?   2 Capital letters  
🗑
What letter case symbolizes a Heterozygous gene?   1 capital letter first followed by 1 lower case letter  
🗑
Define Homozygous recessive *(how many allleles?)   2 recessive alleles  
🗑
What letter case symbolizes Homozygous recessive gene?   2 lowercase letters  
🗑
Curly hair is a dominant trait and straight hair is recessive. If a homozygous recessive man and a heterozygous woman have children, determine the genotypes and phenotype ratios.   Genotype : Cc and cc 50% for each Phenotype: 50% curly and 50% straight hair  
🗑


   

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.
