---|---|---|---|---|
What is heterozygous?
The term for an organism with two different alleles for a particular trait.
|
What is 0%?
The percentage of homozygous offspring when a homozygous dominant parent and homozygous recessive parent have children.
|
What is 3?
The number of phenotypes possible when two alleles display incomplete dominance.
|
What is codominance?
The type of inheritance being exhibited when the two alleles' phenotypes are displayed in an individual that is heterozygous for the trait.
|
What is 100%?
Probability of the offspring displaying the attached earlobe phenotype when two homozygous recessive individuals with attached earlobes have a child.
E = unattached earlobes e = attached earlobes |
What is a recessive allele?
The allele with a masked expression when an organism is heterozygous for the trait.
|
What is 25%?
Percentage of long-haired (hh) guinea pigs in the offspring when two heterozygous (Hh) short-haired guinea pigs mate.
|
What is pink flowers?
The phenotype seen if the two alleles for color, red (R) and white (r), in a type of flower are incompletely dominant.
|
What is multiple alleles?
The term for having more than two alleles possible for a particular trait.
|
What is sex-linked?
The term for a gene that is on the X or the Y chromosome.
|
What is phenotype?
The term for the physical, observable characteristic that is a result of the two alleles.
|
What are 2 phenotypes?
The number of phenotypes possible when two alleles display complete dominance
|
What is 100%?
Probability of having a heterozygous short-tailed cat if a homozygous no-tailed cat (tt) is mated with a homozygous long-tailed cat (TT).
|
What is 6?
The total number of genotypes for blood type (has alleles A, B, and O)
|
Who is Gregor Mendel?
The man known as the "Father of Modern Genetics"?
|
What is homozygous?
The term for an organism with two of the same allele for a particular trait.
|
What is 50%?
The probability for having a recessive disorder if you have one parent with it and another parent that is a carrier (heterozygous).
|
What is a type of inheritance in which the phenotypes for the two alleles mix or blend together in the heterozygous individuals?
The definition of incomplete dominance.
|
What is BW?
The genotype for color of a cat that is white with black spots.
|
What is a carrier?
The term for a heterozygous individual that has a recessive allele for a genetic disorder.
|
What is codominance?
The type of inheritance being exhibited when the phenotype for both alleles for a trait are observed.
