|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | Differences in an organism’s characteristics. Ex: Eye color such as blue or brown
🗑
|
||||
| What plant did Gregor Mendel use to investigate how organisms inherit traits from their parents? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Parent plants that, after many generations of self-pollination, a colored flower plant produces only that color.
🗑
|
||||
| show | He crossed two contrasting, true breeding plants for two different traits for a particular characteristic.
🗑
|
||||
| What is an F1 generation? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Mendel concluded that differences in inherited traits result from alternative versions of genes (which Mendel called “factors”). These are referred to as alleles. Each organism receives 2 copies.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The dominant allele would be expressed while the recessive allele would lie dormant.
🗑
|
||||
| Where can recessive alleles be seen? | show 🗑
|
||||
| How are alleles represented? | show 🗑
|
||||
| How many alleles do organisms inherit for each character? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | An organism that contains two different alleles for a given character.
🗑
|
||||
| show | When an organism contains two identical alleles. An organism can be homozygous recessive (if both alleles are recessive) or homozygous dominant (if both alleles are dominant).
🗑
|
||||
| show | An observable trait.
🗑
|
||||
| What is a genotype? | show 🗑
|
||||
| Explain the law of segregation. | show 🗑
|
||||
| When does the law of segregation apply? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | States each pair of alleles segregates independently of one another during the formation of gametes
🗑
|
||||
| show | When the alleles for 2 different characters are located on the same chromosome.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The genotype for a given trait for two breeding individuals. This is a prediction for the offspring.
🗑
|
||||
| show | 25% chance.
🗑
|
||||
| Explain co-dominant alleles. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Two alleles for a given character are only somewhat, or partially, expressed. Neither allele is dominant over the other, and so a blend of the two results.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The 23rd pair of chromosomes that comes from males.
🗑
|
||||
| show | When Mendel selected traits to study in his pea plants, he chose ones that were controlled by single genes. It doesn't give a complete picture as to how most phenotypes are determined.
🗑
|
||||
| True or False: Most phenotypes are controlled by more than one gene. | show 🗑
|
||||
| By observing more than one type of trait simultaneously over multiple generations, which law did Mendel discover? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Trait
🗑
|
||||
| Joseph expresses a recessive phenotype for red hair. What is the best prediction regarding his genotype? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | False.
🗑
|
||||
| show | 75%
🗑
|
||||
| A newborn puppy has 2 alleles for floppy ears. During which part of the reproductive process did the alleles separate as the puppy was developing? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Patches of white and patches of red.
🗑
|
||||
| True or False: If the attached-earlobe allele is recessive to the free-earlobe allele, a person with one of these alleles will have free earlobes. | show 🗑
|
||||
| If a person has a dominant allele for brown eyes and a recessive allele for blue eyes, what is their eye color? | show 🗑
|
||||
| True or False: If a "widow's peak" of hair is a dominant trait, someone with a widow's peak may not be heterozygous for the trait. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Homozygous.
🗑
|
||||
| Under normal circumstances, an organism receives _________ chromosomes. | show 🗑
|
||||
| Two parents have webbed toes and are homozygous for the trait. What can be concluded based ONLY on this information? | show 🗑
