---|---|---|---|---|
What is Mendel?
This is the father of genetics.
|
What is homologous?
This is the four chromosomes from the male parent.
|
What is codominance?
This is when both alleles are clearly shown.
|
What is monohybrid?
Single trait corsses.
|
What is genetics?
The study of how we get various chaaracteristics from our parents.
|
What is pea plants?
This is the plant Mendel studied.
|
What is diploid?
This is the kind of cell that the male parent has both sets of homologous chromosomes.
|
What is incomplete dominance?
This is when both alleles are mixed together.
|
What is 50/50
If a red heterozygous flamingo which is dominant over a pink flamingo crosses their offspring will be inherrited is.
|
What is genes?
Complex chemical structures.
|
What is punnet square?
This is a mathematical device used to predict the geno and pheno type in genetic crosses.
|
What is haploid?
This is the kind of cell that has only a single set of genes?
|
What is multiple alleles?
This is a gene containing moer than two genes.
|
What is 75%
The probability of producing a tall pea plant with two heterozygous tall plants.
|
What is an allele?
Alternative form of a gene.
|
What is 3:1
This is the ratio Mendel discovered a common factor.
|
What is crossing over?
This occurs in prophase I where chromatids are crossed over and alleles are exhanged.
|
What is polygenic traits?
These are traits controlled by two or more genes
|
What is rrGg x RrGg?
The genotypes of the parents if a wrinkled pea that is heterozygous is crossed with a pea that is heterozygous for shape and color.
|
What is phenotype?
Obseverable characteristic of an organism.
|
What is drosphila melanogaster?
This is the insect Mendel also observed.
|
What is Tetrad?
This is when replicated chromosomes pair with corresponding chromosome a _____ is form.
|
What is punnet square?
This is a tool used to predict alleles between parents and offspring.
|
What is 0%?
If long whiskers are dominant and whiskers are recessive. If one parent seal is pure while the other is short what precent of the offspring would have short whiskers.
|
What is hybrid?
Heterozygous are also referred to as this.
