🗑
the joining of a sperm and egg to make a zygote   fertilization  
🗑
describes an allele that is masks another allele for a trait   dominant  
🗑
describes an allele that is masked by another allele for a trait   recessive  
🗑
the branch of bio that studies how characteristics are passed from parent to offspring   genetics  
🗑
the passing of characteristics from parent to offspring   heredity  
🗑
an alternative choice for a gene (such as tall or short, brown or blue)   allele  
🗑
describes an individual with 2 of the same allele for a trait   homozygous  
🗑
the portion of a chromosome that codes for a particular trait   gene  
🗑
chromosomes with the same size, shape, and genes   homologous chromosome  
🗑
describes an individual with 2 different alleles for a trait   heterozygous  
🗑
the genetic makeup of an individual, such as Rr   genotype  
🗑
having one copy of each chromosome   haploid  
🗑
the special cell division that produces haploid gametes   meiosis  
🗑
having 2 copies of each chromosome   diploid  
🗑
sex cells   gamete  
🗑
DOMINANT alleles are represented by a lower case letter (T/F)   False, recessive  
🗑
mendel's LAW OF FERTILIZATION explains why alleles end up in different gametes following meiosis (T/F)   false, law of segregation  
🗑
the number of chromosomes in human body cells equals 46 (T/F)   true  
🗑
Mendel studied FRUIT FLIES to develop the basic laws of genetics (T/F)   false, pea plants  
🗑
when pollen from one flower is transferred to another flower, this is called SELF POLLINATION (T/F)   false, cross pollination  
🗑
Hh is an example of a HETEROZYGOUS genotype (T/F)   true  
🗑
the 4 phenotypes for human blood are A, B, AB, and O (T/F)   true  
🗑
If 2 parents who are heterozygous for a trait have children, we would expect 50% of them to have the dominant trait (T/F)   false, 25%  
🗑
The number of chromosomes in a human sperm or egg is 23 (T/F)   true  
🗑
crossing organisms from the F1 generation produces the - generation   F2  
🗑
crossing organisms from the P1 generation created the - generation   F1  
🗑
mendel's factors are now called -   genes  
🗑
what pattern did mendel see when crossing pure-breeding tall with pure-breeding short pea plants   all the F1 offspring were tall, but 25% of the of the F2 generation were short and 75% were tall  
🗑
what is formed as a result of meiosis   4 genetically different cells  
🗑
an organism with the genotype DD for a trait is   homozygous dominant

human blood types have 3 different alleles, which is an example of -   multiple alleles  
🗑
when 2 alleles are both expressed in the heterozygote, bc neither is dominant over the other   codominance

🗑
a trait which is determined by the presence of one allele   simple dominant  
🗑
if a trait appears more in males than it does females its known as -   sex-linked  
🗑
a trait determined by the presence of 2 alleles has this type of inheritance   simple recessive

🗑


   

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.
