What is any characteristic that can be passed from parent to offspring?

Trait

15

The genotype GG is known as _________________ .

Homozygous dominant

15

Different forms or versions of a gene are called

Alleles

15

In a heterozygous organism (ex: Dd), which trait would not be seen?

Recessive

20

These are made up of sections of DNA and are passed down from parents to children

Genes

15

The genetic makeup of an organism is called

Genotype

15

The physical expression of the genes into a trait that can be seen or measured

Phenotype

15

True/False - Blue eye color is an example of a genotype

FALSE - that's a phenotype

15

One parent gives a dominant allele, the other parent gives a recessive allele - the child is _________ .

Heterozygous

15

Assuming that a trait follows simple Mendelian Genetics - each child should receive this many alleles per trait?

2 (one from mom, one from dad)

15

This is a tool for predicting the possible genetic outcomes for the children with known parental traits

Punnet Square

20

When two or more pairs of genes are expressed as one phenotype?

Polygenic trait

15

Examples of this type of inheritance are human skin tone, hair color, and eye color.

Polygenic

15

A gene that is located only on the X-chromosome is said to be inherited in this way

X-linked

15

In blood groups, A and B are not dominant to each other. This is an example of

Codominance

15

In blood groups, children can receive A, B, AB, or O blood group from their parents depending on what they have to give. This is an example of

Multiple Alleles
