Mendelian Genetics Vocabulary Review
Name_________________
Period_____
Standards:

BI2. c. Students know how random chromosome segregation explains the probability that
a particular allele will be in a gamete.
 BI2. g. Students know how to predict possible combinations of alleles in a zygote from
the genetic makeup of the parents.
 BI3. a. Students know how to predict the probable outcome of phenotypes in a genetic
cross from the genotypes of the parents and mode of inheritance (autosomal or X-linked,
dominant or recessive).
 BI3. b. Students know the genetic basis for Mendel’s laws of segregation and
independent assortment.
Objectives: SWBAT…
 Explain the genetic factors that influence the way we look.
 Recognize that DNA contains the genetic information that determines the way we look.
 Explain and describe how genetic information is passed from parents to offspring.
 Predict the physical characteristics of an organism based on its genetic make up.
