Mendel’s Genotype and Types of Genes and Misc.

Principles Phenotype Dominance Chromosomes

What is genetics?
 ANSWER:

The study of heredity

What is the percent chance
that a heterozygous
organism will make a gamete
containing the dominant
allele?
ANSWER:

50%
 What is the name of the
diagram that shows all the
possible outcomes of a
genetic cross?
ANSWER:

Punnett Square
What states that allele pairs
separate independently
during the formation of
gametes?
 ANSWER:

The principle of independent

assortment
What is a phenotype?
 ANSWER:

The way an organism looks

What is a genotype?
 ANSWER:

The organism’s genetic makeup

What is a heterozygote?
 ANSWER:

An organism that has two

different alleles for the same
trait
 List the possible combinations of
alleles in the gametes of an individual
with the genotype DdRr
 ANSWER:

DR, Dr, dR, dr

 S= yellow body
s= blue body
T= round body
t= square Body
How would an individual who
was SStt look?
 ANSWER:

Yellow and square body

In “complete dominance” which
allele is masked?
 ANSWER:

The recessive one

What is incomplete
dominance?
 ANSWER:

Heterozygote exhibits a
phenotype which is
intermediate between the
dominant and recessive.
Neither allele is dominant over
the other, when an organism is
heterozygous it exhibits both
characteristics, what is this
called?
ANSWER:
Co dominance
What are multiple alleles?
 ANSWER:

More than two alleles for the same

gene.
What is polygenic inheritance?
 ANSWER:

When two or more genes affect a

single trait.
What assorts independently?
ANSWER:

chromosomes
Some genes tend to be inherited
together, what is the name for
this type of inheritance?
ANSWER:

Genetic linkage
 Genes are more likely to stay
together on the same
chromosome and NOT separate
during crossing over if they are
closer together or further apart?
ANSWER:

Closer together
 DAILY
DOUBLE
What does the principle of
segregation state?
 ANSWER:

For any particular trait, the pair of alleles

of each parent separate and only one allele
passes from each parent on to an offspring
Where are most human sex
linked genes found?
 ANSWER:

The X chromosome
 Why are most sex linked
disorders more common in
males?
 ANSWER:

A male only needs to inherit one sex linked

recessive, he only has one X chromosome.
A female needs to inherit two.
What is a dihybrid cross?
 ANSWER:
The crossing of organisms differing
in two characteristics
If you cross a Bb individual with
a bb individual what would be
the predicted ratio of their
offspring?
ANSWER:

50% Bb
50% bb
If black coat color (B) is dominant
in sheep, how would you
determine if a certain black sheep
is homozygous or heterozygous for
the trait?….
 ANSWER:

Perform a testcross with a white sheep

(bb).
If any white offspring are produced then
the original sheep is heterozygous
What occurs during meiosis
that allows genes located on
the same chromosome to
assort independently?
ANSWER:

Crossing over
Human blood types exhibit
various types of dominance.
Name three
 ANSWER:
1. Complete dominance
2. Co dominance
3. multiple alleles

On the planet Voltan green hair is a sex
linked recessive condition. If Molly is
heterozygous recessive for the trait
(XBXb), she has the dominant blue hair
color, and she marries Mike, who has
green hair, what are the possible
genotypes and phenotypes (include the
gender) for their children?
 ANSWER:
25% blue haired males XBY
25% green haired males XbY
25% blue haired females XBXB
25% blue haired females XBXb
