Mendelian Genetics Jeopardy Jeopardy Template

Basic Genetics Vocabulary	Mendelian Genetics	Generations	Mendel's Laws	Inheritance practice
100 Each of the characteristics present in an organism What is the definition of traits?	100 Dominant A ___________allele is one that is always expressed when that allele is present.	100 F1 Generation is the offspring (the first generation) from the p generation What is the F1 generation?	100 Alleles separate during gamete formation What is Mendel’s Law of Segregation?	100 hh A pea plant is homozygous recessive for height. Its two alleles would be _______? (H for height)
200 They are made up of thousands of genes What are chromosomes made up of?	200 Recessive What is the allele that gets masked in a hybrid?	200 All alike (all hybrids or heterozygous) What is the phenotype ratio of the F1 generation?	200 Genes are separate chromosomes assort into gametes independently What is the law of independent assortment?	200 Hh A pea plant is heterozygous dominant for height. Its two alleles would be _______? (H for height)
300 Segments of DNA that have the information about a certain trait What is the definition of genes?	300 3:1 When a homozygous dominant genotype is crossed with a homozygous recessive genotype, what is the phenotypic ratio expected in the F2 generation?	300 Comes from the F1 generation being self-pollinated with itself What is the F2 generation?	300 If two pure breeding varieties that differ in just one trait are crossed, all individuals in the next generation (F1), will present the dominant trait. What is the law of uniformity?	300 All will be tall A TT (tall) plant is crossed with a tt (short plant). What percentage of the offspring will be tall?
400 The chromosomes from the two gametes are united in the zygote, as a result, the zygote has one allele from each parent for each gene What happens during fertilization?	400 Individuals that are homozygous for a trait (both alleles are the same) What are pure-breeding individuals?	400 The P generation are the first two individuals crossed in a breeding experiment What is the P generation?	400 3:1 What is the ratio for Mendel's second law (Law of segregation)?	400 25% A Tt plant is crossed with a Tt plant. What percentage of the offspring will be short?
500 Dominant: The allele that is expressed if different alleles occur together Recessive: The allele that is not expressed if the dominant allele is present What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles?	500 A breeding experiment that tracks the inheritance of two traits What is a dihybrid cross?	500 Genotype are the actual alleles or genes present in the individual, Phenotype is the physical result of the genes What is the difference between genotypes and phenotypes?	500 Incomplete dominance, codominance, multiple alleles, gene interaction, lethal genes What are the exceptions to Mendel's laws?	500 75% In humans, the allele for albanism is recessive to the alleles for normal skin pigmentation. If two heterozygotes have children, what is the chance that a child will have normal skin pigment?
