Question
Answer
show the passing of genetic traits from parent to offspring  
🗑
the scientific study of heredity is known as:   show
🗑
blending inheritance:   show
🗑
show austrian monk  
🗑
show self-fertilized (pollen fertilized egg before flower opened)  
🗑
all peas were true-breeding:   show
🗑
mendel cross-pollinated the plants:   show
🗑
show 7 unique traits were studied  
🗑
show a specific characteristic that varies from one to another  
🗑
mendel crossed plants with 7 contrasting characteristics and studied offspring. example:   show
🗑
show parental; first filial  
🗑
show the results of crosses between parents with different traits  
🗑
show all were tall  
🗑
inherited traits are determined by: today these factors are called ____   show
🗑
alleles: (example gene for tall plant, gene for short plant)   show
🗑
show some alleles are dominant, other are recessive  
🗑
if an organism had a ___ of an allele for a trait, _______. (dominant alleles are written with a capital letter)   show
🗑
show recessive form; the dominant allele is present  
🗑
principle of segregation: during _____, alleles are ___ from each other so that each gamete carries only a ____.   show
🗑
the alleles are ______.   show
🗑
probability:   show
🗑
show 1/2*1/2 or 1/4  
🗑
show outcomes of genetic crosses  
🗑
show punnett square  
🗑
homozygous:   show
🗑
show having two different alleles  
🗑
show physical characteristics of an organism  
🗑
genotype:   show
🗑
show phenotype; genotype; tall plant; TT or Tt  
🗑
show the more accurate the ratios come out  
🗑
the two-factor cross:   show
🗑
principle of independent assortment:   show
🗑
show one allele isn't completely dominant over another; 2 homozygous phenotypes  
🗑
co-dominance: example: in cattle read hair and white hair are codominant. _______   show
🗑
show some genes have more than just 2 alleles. EX: human blood has 3; ABO  
🗑
show many traits are controlled by 2 or more genes EX: human height, skin, color  
🗑
show the pair of sex chromosomes x and y determine the gender of an individual  
🗑
show the chromosomes that are the same in males and femals  
🗑
sex chromosome:   show
🗑
show the pair of sex chromosomes x and y determine the gender of an individual  
🗑
show a gene is located on one of the sex chromosomes is said to be sex-linked  
🗑
where in the cell are the factors that control heredity? where are the genes?   show
🗑
show genes occupy specific positions on chromosomes; chromosomes undergo independent assortment and segregation  
🗑
show genes are linked together in chromosomes  
🗑
linkage groups:   show
🗑
thomas hunt morgan: worked with _____   show
🗑
show because of crossing over  
🗑
crossing over:   show
🗑
crossing over breaks _______.   show
🗑
show a diagram of chromosomes showing relative locations of genes  
🗑
show likely to be inherited together  
🗑
genes far apart separated by ________.   show
🗑
