The
table you sit at is your team
I will put a question up on the
board
First group who has the correct
answer will receive the point
The group with the most points
at the end will receive a
fabulous prize!
What
is the complete genetic
material contained in an
individual?
Genome
What
is a threadlike
structure of a nucleic acids
and protein found in the
nucleus of most living cells?
DNA
What
is a genotype of an
individual with two different
alleles for a given trait?
Heterozygous
What
are the possible
genotypes for straight hair
 Straight(S)
curly(s)
hair is dominant to
SS
Ss
All
chromosomes except the
sex chromosomes are called
Autosomes
Somatic
Cells
Occurs
when the phenotype
of the offspring is in between
the phenotypes of the two
parents
Incomplete
Dominance
A
trait that is carried on the
sex chromosomes is called?
Sex
– link trait
What
is a segment of DNA
that codes proteins?
Gene
What
shape is DNA in?
Twisted
Ladder
Double Helix
Where
in the cell are all the
chromosomes located?
Nucleus
Who
was the founder of
genetics?
Gregor
Mendel
How did Mendel discover
genetics?
Crossing
pea plants and
looking at different traits
from the cross
What
are some of the traits
Mendel looked at?
Flower
color
Seed color
Seed shape
Pod shape
Pod color
Flower position
Stem height
What
is a breeding
experiment that tracks the
inheritance of two traits?
Dihybrid
cross
What
is a way to determine
traits that are passed on?
Punnett
square
What
are the possible
genotype(s) for this cross?

If
this punnett square shows
incomplete dominance, what
are the possible phenotypes?
R
R
R = Red flower
r = white flower
r
r
Red
Pink
White
Explain
co-dominance
When
the heterozygous offspring
show both phenotypes
Explain
the difference between
genotype and phenotype
Phenotype
= visible trait determined
by the genotype
Genotype = the genetic make up of
an organism
When
two alleles in a gene pair are
different, then one allele can
control the expression of the trait
and the other can be hidden is
called?
Law
of Dominance
An
individual who has the allele for
a trait or disease but does not have
the disease or outwardly express the
trait is called?
Carrier
Reproductive
Cell
Gamete
Any
characteristic that can be
passed be inherited from parent
to offspring
Trait
What
is a pedigree?
A
diagram of the genetic
history of an individual
 Explain
the Law of Segregation
a
diploid individual possesses a pair of alleles
for any particular trait and each parent
passes one of these randomly to its offspring
 Explain
Law of independent assortment
 When
two or more characteristics are
inherited, individual hereditary factors
assort
independently during gamete production
 This gives
different traits an equal opportunity of
occurring together.
