Inheritance Flashcards
Traits passed into offspring based on _
Combination of genes produced during fertilization
An allele is a variant of _
A particular gene
Alleles govern traits in _
Offspring
Alleles usually come in _
Pairs
Alleles come in pairs with one _
Passed on from each parent
Combination of alleles in organism is called its _
Genotype
Organism’s observable traits make up its _
Phenotype
Genotype and phenotype of offspring depend on _
Genotype of parents
A punnett square shows variety of _
Genotypes each offspring can inherit
Punnett square also gives _
Odds of each outcome
One version of allele is often _
Dominant over another
Dominant
Recessive
D
d
Recessive trait visible only when _
Two recessive alleles are inherited
When dominant alleles are expressed to an equal degree in offspring, it is called _
Codominance
Example of codominance, red and white flower’s offspring are _
Red with white spots (dominant traits of each parent)
