the genotype

Question 14

describe a punnett square

Answer 14

used to predict the possible genetic outcomes of a cross between the two organisms and helps visualize how alleles from each parent might combine in their offspring

Answer 15

50%

Question 16

difference between phenotype and genotype

Answer 16

genotype: the gene order of an organism. phenotype: the physical appearance of an organism

Answer 18

female

Question 19

Answer 19

A person is a carrier of a trait

Question 20

what does the fully shaded circle or square mean in pedigree

Answer 20

person has a certain trait

Question 21

when there are more than two different types of a gene for a particular trait

Answer 21

multiple allele inheritance

Question 22

give an trait example for multiple allele inheritance

Answer 22

human blood type

Question 23

an inheritance pattern in which multiple genes determine the phenotype of a trait

Answer 23

polygenic inheritance

Question 24

give an trait example for polygenic inheritance

Answer 24

eye and skin color, also height

Question 25

list the guidelines for a dominant pedigree

Answer 25

affect individuals have at least one affected parent, the trait generally appears in every generation, two unaffected parents only have unaffected offspring

Question 26

list the guidelines for a recessive pedigree

Answer 26

unaffected parents can have affected offspring, trait isn't seen in every generation, there are unaffected, heterozygous individuals present in pedigree

Question 27

a blue parrot (BB) is crossed with a red parrot(bb) what is the phenotype and genotype

Answer 27

phenotype: 100% blue genotype: 100% Bb

Question 28

a heterozygous brown-eyed dog is crossed with a blue eyed dog. list the phenotype and genotype

Answer 28

phenotype: 50% brown 50% blue genotype: 50%Bb 50%bb

Question 29

a heterozygous green frog is crossed with a purebred green frog. list the phenotype and genotype

Answer 29

phenotype:100% green genotype: 50%Bb 50% BB

Question 30

two heterozygous red apples(green is recessive) are crossed. list the phenotype and genotype

Answer 30

genotype: 25% RR 50%Rr 25% rr phenotype: 75% red 25% green
