Vocabulary Terminology for Chapter 13 in Friendly Biology

        Help!  

Question or Term
Answer or Definition
Features or characteristics inherited from one's parents is known as   Genetics  
🗑
The discovery that traits are inherited from parents is whose biggest contribution?   Gregor Mendel, Genetic biologist  
🗑
genotype is   the record of genes found in a living organism  
🗑
phenotype is   observed genotype, whether physical or behavioral  
🗑
Variations in the phenotype of a particular gene are known as   Alleles  
🗑
The genetic law of segregation says that   During the formation of gametes, the pairs of chromosomes separate with each gamete receiving one or the other member of he pair.  
🗑
In meiosis, one chromosome from each parent primordial sex cell will go to each resulting gamete is known as   The law of segregation.  
🗑
The 2nd law discovered by Mendel that states that traits get distributed independently from other is known as   the Law of Independent Assortment  
🗑
When looking at the genotype of the offspring, created through sexual reproduction, one from the male parent and one from the female parent, you will find   Two Alleles  
🗑
With 2 alleles present, only one is expressed and the expressed allele is known as the   dominant allele  
🗑
An allele that is present, but not expressed is known as   recessive allele  
🗑
When writing letters representing alleles for an individual, what differentiates or how is the dominant allele separated from the recessive   Dominant allele is written using Upper case letters, while recessive allele is written using lower case letters.  
🗑
Genotype: HH (trait inherited from both parents) would be described as   Homozygous dominant  
🗑
Genotype: hh (trait inherited from both parents) would be described as   Homozygous recessive  
🗑
Genotype: Hh (trait inherited from each parent) would be described as   Heterozygous  
🗑
Suppose hair color is indicated by H, knowing black is dominant and red is recessive, what hair color would these individuals have? Hh:____________ HH:_____________ hh:______________   Black, black, red  
🗑
So what possible genotypes would a person with black hair have?   HH or Hh  
🗑
What are the possibilities for the genotypes for his gametes with a genotype: HH ?   100% H  
🗑
When visible traits have been found linked to the sex of the individual is a phenomenon known as   Sex-linked or sex-linkage  
🗑
What is GMO abbreviated for   Genetically Modified Organism  
🗑
When a phenotype of an individual appears to be the result of sharing 2 dominant alleles is known as   codominance or incomplete dominance  
🗑
Everyone carries a pair of sex chromosomes; male (sperm) genotype is   XY  
🗑
Everyone carries a pair of sex chromosomes; female (ova) genotype is   XX  
🗑


   

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.
