2
The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
3
What is heredity?
4
Study of heredity
5
What is genetics?
6
Rod-shaped structures, composed of DNA and
proteins, carries hereditary information
7
What are chromosomes?
8
Units of hereditary information located on
chromosomes.
9
What are genes?
10
Either member of a pair of genes that determines
a single trait.
11
What is an Allele?
12
Likelihood that an event will occur
13
What is probability?
14
Gene that masks the other gene in a pair.
15
What is the dominant?
16
A gene that is hidden by the other gene in a pair.
17
What is the recessive?
18
Pair of alleles in the cells of an organism.
19
What is the genotype?
20
An expressed trait.
21
What is the phenotype?
22
States that one factor (gene) in a pair may
prevent the other factor (gene) in the pair from
being expressed.
23
What is the principle of dominance?
24
Describes an individual with identical genes for
a trait
25
What is homozygous?
26
Describes an individual whose genes are different
for a given trait
27
What is Heterozygous or purebred?
28
States that the members of each pair of genes of
genes separate, or segregate, when gametes are
formed
29
What is the principle of segregation?
30
States that two or more pairs of genes segregate
independently of one another during the formation
of gametes
31
What is the principle of independent assortment?
32
Grid or chart that shows all possible gene
combinations for a cross.
33
What is A Punnet Square?
34
Symbols for the possible gametes from the parent
appear across the top of the grid.
35
What is the male?
36
Procedure that determines the genotype of an
individual whose phenotype is dominant.
37
What is a testcross?
38
Genetic cross involving one trait.
39
What is a monohybrid cross?
40
Genetic cross involving two pairs of alleles that
determine two separate traits.
41
What is a dihybrid cross?
42
The Father of Modern Genetics
43
Who is Gregor Mendel?
44
The physical place where Mendels genetic
experiments were initially carried out.
45
What is the monastery garden?
46
The organism Mendel used in his pioneer research
47
What are garden pea plants?
48
The primary reason pea plants were a good
choice for genetic experiments.
49
What is they displayed several traits in 1 of 2
contrasting forms?
50
The scientific and mathematical reasons Mendels
experiments were so successful.
51
What are his logical experimental methods and his
careful record keeping?
