Genes Flashcards
What is the truth it always shows up if it is there
Dominant
What street only shows up if there’s two of them
Recessive
What are traits that are passed from parent to Offspring called
Inherited traits
What are traits that are influenced by the environment
Acquired traits
What is a homozygous Jean
A gene with two identical alleles course
What is a heterozygous Jean
A gene with two different alleles or one allele and one different allele
Who is Gregor Mendel
He was an Austrian monk, he studied science and math, and she love to garden
What did Gregor Mendel do and say
He made a hypothesis that every organism must carry two factors for each trait and factors later became jeans
What was Mendels cross
It was when he crossed to homozygous or purebred plants together
What was the results of Mendels cross
A group of heterozygous or hybrid plants and two alleles that are different
What is in allele
A single form of a gene, it can be either dominant or recessive
How is a dominant allele shown
In both homozygous and heterozygous combinations
What are recessive genes shown as
Recessive genes can only be homozygous meaning that they are to lower bees combination
What is a phenotype
The physical appearance of a trait for example your eye color which is either brown or green
What is a genotype
The genetic combination of a treat for example
What is a hybrid organism
It has one dominant allele and one recessive allele
What does purebred mean
A purebred is when the allele from each parent does the same
What is a punnets square
Punnets squares that show possible outcomes for inheritance
How many alleles do you parents have and how many alleles do babies receive
Each parent has two alleles for every gene and an offspring receives one allele from each parent
What does a punnets square do
It shows how the parents pass on the wheels to potential offspring
On the punnets square where are the genotypes written
On the top and side of the Square
What does each box in the punnets square show
Each box in the punnets where shows away the alleles from each parent would confide in potential offspring
What expresses the probability of an outcome
Ratios and probably percentages
What is the ratio
A ratio compares her shows a comparison of two numbers
What’s the definition of probability
The likelihood of a chance of a specific outcome in relation to the total number of possible outcomes
