2.
What is respiration?
The process by which cells break down simple food molecules to release the energy they
contain.
3.
What is the difference between
photosynthesis and respiration?
They are the opposite processes. They work together to form a cycle that keeps the
levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide fairly constant in the atmosphere.

1.
What is phenotype? An organism’s physical appearance, or visible traits. Example: hair
color, eye color, etc. genotype? An organism’s genetic makeup, or allele combinations.
Example: Tt, TT, tt.
2.
What is heterozygous? Having two different alleles for a trait is heterozygous.
Example: Tt
homozygous? Having two identical alleles for a trait is homozygous. Example: TT, tt
3.
What is a dominant trait? A trait that always shows up in the organism when the
allele is present. Example: Tt, TT. The upper case is the dominant allele and will always win.
A recessive trait? It is a trait that is masked when a dominant allele is present as in Tt,
the little t is recessive. The recessive traits only show in the phenotype if you have two
recessive alleles. Like tt.
4.
Why are Punnett squares useful in genetics? Because it shows all of the
possible combination of alleles that can result from a genetic cross and it lets geneticists
know what the possible traits the offspring will have.
