Answer in complete sentences on a separate sheet of paper and we will glue in ISN later! Use pages _____, _____, and ______ in your ISN. 1. What is heredity? 2. What are genes? 3. What are dominant traits? 4. What are recessive traits? 5. What are homozygous traits? What is another name for a homozygous trait? 6. What are heterozygous traits? What is another name for a heterozygous trait? 7. Who is the father of genetics? 8. Why do we use Punnett squares? 9. What is the study of heredity called? 10. Explain the difference between a trait and a characteristic. 11. What are phenotypes? Give two examples. 12. What are genotypes? 13. Give all of the possible genotypes for cross between TT x Tt. 14. Why do genetic counselors use pedigree charts? 15. In a cross between a round pea plant (RR) and a wrinkled pea plant (rr), what is the probability the offspring will have be round? 16. Use the following information to solve the problem below: ** In pea plants, yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y). A heterozygous yellow plant is crossed with a homozygous green plant. ** a) Create a punnett square to predict the offspring. b) What are the phenotypes? c) What are the genotypes? d) What is the probability that the offspring will be yellow? e) What is the probability that the offspring will be green? 17. Where are genes found? 18. (True or False) The one thing that Gregor Mendel realized could explain the results of his experiments was that each trait had two sets of instructions, one from each parent. (rewrite the sentence) 19. Genes carry information that determine your ________________. (re-­‐write) 20. Different forms of a gene that make up a trait are called __________________. (re-­‐write) 21. Use the pedigree chart below to answer the following questions: NOTE: it is not completed. Use the information available. a) How many people in this family’s history are “carriers” of the disease (Hemophilia)?________ (Name them: __________________________________________________________________) b) Is Alexis “male” or “female”? _________________ How can you tell? _____________________________________________________________ c) According to the pedigree, Alexis has hemophilia. Could his father be a carrier? Explain your answer. _______________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ 22.
