| Punnett Squares | A diagram used to predict possible genotypes from certain parents
🗑
|
||||
| homozygous | having two identical alleles of a particular gene or genes
🗑
|
||||
| heterozygous | Having two different alleles of a particular gene. Represented by a capital letter and a lowercase letter (Ex. Bb)
🗑
|
||||
| dominant | A genotype where an organism inherits two dominant alleles. Represented by capital letters (Ex. BB)
🗑
|
||||
| recessive | A genotype where an organism inherits two recessive alleles. Represented by lowercase letters (Ex. bb)
🗑
|
||||
| genotype | The complete set of genes of an organism
🗑
|
||||
| phenotype | The physical traits of an organism (Ex. red hair)
🗑
|

| probability | The percentage or ratio of genetic outcomes in a punnett square (Percentage - 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% : Ratio - 0:4, 1:3, 2:2, 3:1, 4:0)

| Gregor Mendel | The Father of Genetics
🗑
|
||||
| chromosomes | Are like tiny packages inside your cells that hold the instructions for your body. They are made of DNA, which contain genes that determine your traits (Ex. eye color, height)
🗑
|
||||
| gene | A small piece of DNA, that gives instructions for what traits you’ll have. It’s passed down from parents to kids
🗑
|
||||
| codominance | An inheritance pattern where two alleles are expressed equally, and neither allele is dominant or recessive
🗑
|
||||
| alleles | Are versions of a gene
🗑
|
||||
| incomplete dominance | Happens when traits mix or blend together instead of one trait showing up more than the other
🗑
|
||||
| polygenic traits | A characteristic that is determined by more than one gene (Ex. AaBBcC)
🗑
|
||||
| epistaxis | One gene can hide or influence the effect of another gene
🗑

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.
