Question 3

Gregor Mendel

Answer 3

In 1860 he experimented with pea plants to conclude that traits can be passed on from one generation to another.

Question 4

Self pollination

Answer 4

When a male gamete combine with a female gamete in the same plant

Question 5

Cross pollination

Answer 5

When a male gamete combine with a female gamete in different plants

Question 6

True breeding plants

Answer 6

Homozygous chromosomes (PP, pp) Produces offspring with only one form of trait

Question 7

What are the three discoveries that the mendal experiment find?

Answer 7

1. Two factors that act as instructions for each trait
2. Each parent donate one of the factors to offspring
3. One factor may dominant over the other

Question 8

Incomplete Dominance

Answer 8

When neither of the two factors can dominant over each other. (Purple + White = pink)

Answer 15

True

Question 16

Codominance

Answer 16

Both alleles are fully expressed

Question 17

Genotype of codominance

Answer 17

HRHW (any letters but the two H has to be the same)

Question 18

Is Sickle Cell Anemia an example of codominance or incomplete dominance

Answer 18

codominance

Question 19

Why is Sickle cell anemia bad?

Answer 19

It makes the blood cells a moon shape instead of a circle. This will cause transportation difficult and will often cause blockages and tissue damage.

Question 26

Law of Segregation

Answer 26

Describes the genetic base for how genes are inherited. Alleles for each inherited trait sperate.

Question 27

What is punnett squares?

Answer 27

A way to express inheritance of traits in monohybrid crosses
