Terms from Simple Mendelian Unit of NW 04-350

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Term
Definition
pure bred   an individual that when crossed with itself or another pure bred of the same phenotype produces offspring with the exact same phenotype and genotype as the parents. True breeding. Homozygous  
🗑
self   to cross an individual with itself. possible in plants like peas in Mendel's classic experiment  
🗑
controlled cross   a forced mating experiment under the control of the researcher  
🗑
outcross   crossing with an individual of a different phenotype and genotype  
🗑
genotype   the genetic makeup of an individual. Homozygous or heterozygous  
🗑
phenotype   the physical characteristic, physical appearance of an organism  
🗑
law of segregation   Mendel's First Law. Because of anaphase I and the separation of homologous chromosomes, gametes will receive only one copy of an individual gene if produced by a diploid parent. Sexual fertilization from two parents restores offspring to being diploid.  
🗑
law of independent assortment   Mendel's Second Law. Because of metaphase I, the segregation of gene A does not influence the segregation of gene B. Only true if genes are on separate chromosomes or very far apart on the same chromosome  
🗑
monohybrid cross   crossing a heterozygous individual with another heterozygous individual for a single gene. Aa x Aa results in 3:1 phenotypic ratio and 1:2:1 genotypic ratio due to segregation  
🗑
dihybrid cross   AaBb x AaBb --> 9:3:3:1 due to independent assortment  
🗑
test cross   Any cross involving an individual with a dominant phenotype and an individual known to be homozygous recessive. AA x aa or Aa x aa. Results help to determine the genotype of the dominant parent  
🗑
autosome   a chromosome that is not involved in sex determination  
🗑
sex chromosome   a chromosome that carries genes that determine the sex of an individual. X and Y chromosomes or Z and W chromosomes  
🗑


   

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.
