Question
Answer
heredity:   show
🗑
the scientific study of heredity is known as:   show
🗑
show where both parents contributed factors that were blended in offspring  
🗑
show austrian monk  
🗑
show self-fertilized (pollen fertilized egg before flower opened)  
🗑
show seeds had same characteristic as single parent plant  
🗑
show he selected plants with different traits to breed together  
🗑
mendel studied traits:   show
🗑
trait:   show
🗑
mendel crossed plants with 7 contrasting characteristics and studied offspring. example:   show
🗑
original pair of plants were called P ___ offspring were called F1 ___   show
🗑
show the results of crosses between parents with different traits  
🗑
when crossing two different parents what were the offspring like? P: tall x short F1:   show
🗑
show factors that are passed from one generation to the next; genes  
🗑
show different forms of gene - each is given a letter  
🗑
the principle of dominance:   show
🗑
show dominant form; the organism will always have form  
🗑
if an organism has a ___ of a trait, it will only show if ______. (recessive alleles are written with a lower-case letter)   show
🗑
principle of segregation: during _____, alleles are ___ from each other so that each gamete carries only a ____.   show
🗑
show paired up again when gametes fuse during fertilization  
🗑
show the likelihood that a particular event will occur  
🗑
show 1/2*1/2 or 1/4  
🗑
the principles of probability can be used to predict the ____.   show
🗑
we can determine the probable results of a genetic cross by drawing a _____.   show
🗑
homozygous:   show
🗑
heterozygous:   show
🗑
show physical characteristics of an organism  
🗑
show genetic makeup of an individual EX: TT or tt- the letters  
🗑
if a plant has a tall ____ it can have one of two ____ EX: phenotype: genotype:   show
🗑
the larger the number of individuals in the sample, ______.   show
🗑
show two traits  
🗑
show genes for different traits can be segregated independently during the formation of gametes  
🗑
show one allele isn't completely dominant over another; 2 homozygous phenotypes  
🗑
show both alleles contribute to the phenotype; cattle with both are roan  
🗑
multiple alleles:   show
🗑
polygenic traits:   show
🗑
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  
🗑
show genes; DNA in nucleus  
🗑
show genes occupy specific positions on chromosomes; chromosomes undergo independent assortment and segregation  
🗑
linked genes:   show
🗑
linkage groups:   show
🗑
show drosophila melanogaster-fruit flies  
🗑
why don't all of the offspring have the same genotypes as their parents?   show
🗑
show during meiosis- exchange of information between homologous chromosomes  
🗑
crossing over breaks _______.   show
🗑
show a diagram of chromosomes showing relative locations of genes  
🗑
genes close together are ______.   show
🗑
show crossing over  
🗑


   

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.
