Heredity Review

What is an allele?

Gregor Mendel studied pea plants because they were the only plants available to study at the monastery.

Gregor Mendel is known as the father of modern...

An organism's genetic makeup, or allele combination, for a trait.

A heterozygous brown eyed dad has kids with a homozygous recessive green eyed mom. What's the chance of green eyed kids?

The passing of traits from parent to offspring

The results of a Punnett square provide exact percentages of offspring outcomes.

If an offspring inherits a recessive allele from either parent, that traits will always show up in the offspring.

This is a tool used to determine the probability of offspring genotypes.

If two homozygous dominant parents are crossed, what is the genotype outcome?

Homozygous dominant

heterozygous

The likelihood that an event will occur.

homozygous recessive

There are two alleles in a genotype.

Heterozygous and Hybrid are synonyms

If an offspring inherits a dominant allele from either parent, that trait will always show up in the offspring.

What is a phenotype?

Probability means that the event will occur.

TT, Tt, tt

Which of the following is not a correct explanation for homozygous?

Mendel's "P generation" refers to two different purebred traits (ex: yellow pea plant and green pea)

In a Punnett square question, the word "cross" is used to mean...
