Definition
The passing of traits from parents to offspring.
Term
The stronger factor that covers up the weaker ones is called __________?
Definition
Dominant
Term
Genes
Definition
The small parts of a chromosomes that controls traits.
Term
Phenotype
Definition
What physical features look like (example eye color, hair color, size).
Term
What controls the traits you inherit?
Definition
Genes
Term
Hybrid
Definition
This is a mixture of traits.
Term
Pedigree
Definition
This is a tool for tracing the occurrence of a trait in a family.
Term
If a child inherits a gene for A blood from one parent and B blood from the other parent, which blood group will the child have?
Definition
AB blood type
Term

Definition
XY
Term

Eye color and hair color are physical features that are

called__________.

Definition
Traits
Term
Homozygous
Definition
Two alleles for a trait that are exactly the same are called this.
Term
Heterozygous
Definition
Two alleles for a trait that are different are called this.
Term
Genotype
Definition
What the alleles actually are (example BB, Bb, bb).
Term
Recessive
Definition
If this trait is not purebred it will be hidden.
Term
Hemophilia
Definition
A disease that will not allow blood to clot properly.
Term

Term
If you crossed a black pig (BB) homozygous dominant with a white pig (ww) homozygous recessive, what would the phenotypes and genotypes of the offspring be?
Definition

Do the punnet square to solve.

4 black pigs, 4 that are Bw

100% are black

100% are Bw

Term
If you crossed two pink flowers (RW) heterozygous incomplete dominance with each other, what would the phenotypes and genotypes of the offspring be?
Definition

Do the punnet square to solve.

1 red (RR), 2 pink (RW), 1 white WW

25% red, 50%pink, 25% white

25%RR, 50% RW, 25% WW

Term
If you crossed two brown-eyed (Bb) heterozygous dominant people with each other, what would the phenotypes and genotypes of the offspring be?
Definition

Do punnet square to solve.

 Phenotypes:3 brown eyes, 1 blue eyes

Genotypes: BB, Bb, bb

Phenotype %: 75% brown eyes, 25% blue eyes

Genotypes %: 25% BB, 50% Bb, 25% bb

Term

Definition
X
