Question | Answer |
This is the study of genes,heredity, and genetic variation in living organisms? | GENETICS
|
The first law of heredity is the the Law of ___________: factors separate when they form gametes. | SEGREGATION2
| This is a specific region of DNA that codes for a particular protein. | GENE3
| The second law of heredity is the Law of _____________: When there are 2 forms of the trait, but only one shows while the other is masked. | DOMINANCE4
| This term is a term for different forms of a gene (brown, blue, or green eyes). | ALLELE5
| This term refers to a genotype consisting of two identical alleles of a gene for a particular trait (AA or aa). This also is referred to as a purebred. | HOMOZYGOUS6
| a __________ consists of two different alleles of a gene for a particular trait (the letters) | GENOTYPE7
| The third law of heredity is the Law of _____________ ______________: The traits are passed on randomly or independently of each other. | INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT8
| ________ often do not show any signs of the trait but can pass it on to their offspring. This is the case with hemophilia. | CARRIER9
| Neither allele is dominant or recessive, so that both appear in the phenotype or influence it. Type AB blood is an example of ___________? | CODOMINANCE10
| This is the allele that is masked. | RESSESIVE ALLELE11
| This is a genotype consisting of two different alleles of a gene for a particular trait (Aa). This is also called a hybrid. | HETEROZYGOUS12
| ________ is the observable or detectable characteristics of an individual organism (widow's peak). | PHENOTYPE13
| ___________is the likelihood that a specific event will occur. | PROBABILITY14
| A ________________ is a simple graphical method of showing all of the potential combinations of offspring genotypes that can occur and their probability given the parent genotypes. | PUNNETT SQUARE14
| This is the allele that is expressed. | DOMINANT ALLELE15
| This is referring to a gene that is carried by an X sex chromosome. | X_LINKED16 |
