Medel and Heredily

Question 1

Who was considered the pioneer /father of genetics

Answer 1

Gregor Mendel

Question 2

Mendel studied how many traits of pea pod

Answer 2

7 traits

Question 3

P generations

Answer 3

Mendel crossed purebred plants with each other

Question 4

F1 generation

Answer 4

Mendel observer that all of the offspring were purple flowers and that none were white

Question 5

F2 generation

Answer 5

Mendel the crossed 2 of the F1 offspring. These offsprings are known as the F2 generation.

Question 6

Mendel’s Hypothesis

Answer 6

1) organisms have 2 factors that describe each trait
2) Inherit one allele front ather and other mother

Question 7

Alleles

Answer 7

Different forms of the same gene for a specific trait

Question 8

Dominant

Answer 8

Trait that is expressed in the offspring .

Question 9

Recessive

Answer 9

Trait is only exhibit if dominant trait is absent

Question 10

Phenotype

Answer 10

What the organism looks like (physical appearance )

Question 11

Genotype

Answer 11

Genetic makeup of an organism ( we cannot see this )

Question 12

What are the two forms of genotypes

Answer 12

Homozygous
Heterozygous

Question 13

Homozygous

Answer 13

Both identical alleles are either dominant or recessive

Question 14

Heterozygous

Answer 14

Different alleles dominant and one recessive

Question 15

Some alleles are dominant ( trait is expressed in the offspring ) and other alleles are recessive (trait is only exhibit if dominant is absent )

Answer 15

Mendel’s Law of Dominance

Question 16

Alleles for a trait will separate when the sex cells (gametes ) are former during meiosis

Answer 16

Law or Segregation

Question 17

Genes for different trait are inherited independently from each other . Mendel discovered this through his experiments with hybrid cross (2 parents with 2 different traits )

Answer 17

Law of Independent Assortment

Question 18

Internal

Answer 18

Age, gender ( hormonal differences )

Question 19

External

Answer 19

Temperature, nutrition, light, radiation, chemicals, viruses

Question 20

What are punnet squares used for ?

Answer 20

To predict and compare possible genetic variations resulting from a Cross

Question 21

Orginal parent

Answer 21

P1 generation

Question 22

Offspring of the parent plants

Answer 22

F1 generation

Question 23

Offspring of the F1 generation

Answer 23

F2 generation

Question 24

Incomplete dominance

Answer 24

Both alleles are partially shown by blending

Question 25

Codominace

Answer 25

Both alleles are completely expressed

Question 26

Hybrid is also know as

Answer 26

Heterozygous

Question 27

What are the 6 patterns of inheritance ?

Answer 27

1. Dominance
2. Recessive
3. Incomplete Dominance
4. Co dominance
5. Sex linked traits
6. Polygenic traits

Question 28

Sex linked traits

Answer 28

Traits carried on the sex chromosomes ( mostly the x chromosome )

Question 29

Polygenic traits

Answer 29

Trait produced from May les on more than one chromosome
