ch 8 genetics

Question 1

What is a Characteristic? give exmaple

Answer 1

What smth is in relation to the organism
- my eye colour

Question 2

What is a Trait?

Answer 2

a variation of a characteristic
- brown (eye coluro)

Question 3

What is True Breeding?

Answer 3

when the P Generation or parents are Homozygous themselves (their alleles are the same)

Question 4

Which is displayed more Dominant alleeles or REcessive

Answer 4

Dominant

Question 5

when do Recessive alleles display?

Answer 5

when the genotype is HOMozygous

Question 6

What did Mendel do for genetic research?

Answer 6

figured out how offspring inherited their parent’s traits

Question 7

Genotype

Answer 7

the alleles for trait

Question 8

Phenotype

Answer 8

what is seen or displayed in organism

Question 9

Law of Dominance

Answer 9

In gneetic crossing between two TRUE BREEDING organisms, and together, they make Hetereozygote,
the offspring will always display DOMINANT phenotype

Question 10

what is the purpose of a punnet sqaure?

Answer 10

to show the probnability of an offsprings geno and phenotypes

Question 11

Law of Segregation

Answer 11

paired genes must separate equally into gametes (haploids) and hav an equal likelyhood of inheriting either gene

Question 12

Where does The Law of Segregation take place?

Answer 12

During Anaphase in MEiosis 1 - like independant assorment

Question 13

Incomplete Dominance

Answer 13

sometimes in heterozy, there is a blend of two alleles in the offspring

Question 14

Codominance

Answer 14

both alleles fro a characteristic is displayed
- like red and white both showing on flowers)
