- What`s the definition of carrier?
- An individual who has inherited a factor for a trait but does not show the trait.
- What`s the definition of genetics?
- The study of how heredity works.
- What`s the definition of incomplete dominence?
- A genetic pattern in which neither of the two forms of a trait completely masks the other.
- What`s an inherited trait?
- A characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring.
- The kind of tables used to predict the outcome of crossing different forms of a trait is a ________.
- Punnett square
- The passing of inherited traits form parents to offspring is called _______.
- Heredity
- The kind of traits free earlobes, widow`s peak, and dimples are _______.
- Dominent Traits
- Name five traits children can inherit from their parents.
- Hair color, skin color, eye color, height, and dimples.
- The kind of earlobes you have is determined by your dominent or recessive traits for earlobe shape. Where do they come from and why?
- One gene comes from each parent, so the person has two genes. This happens during reproduction.
- Suppose an experiment is done in which pea plants make offspring. Also, suppose that the ratio of tall offspring to short offspring is 3:1 or \"3 to 1\". What does it mean to say that there is a ratio of \"3:1\"?
- To say there is a \"3:1\" ratio means that there is three tall pea plants to every short pea plant.
- Discribe Mendell`s pea experiments and what he discovered.
- Hybrid parents cross-pollinated. Hybrids were all tall. They then self-pollinated, and the ratio was 3:1.
- What types of experiments did Mendell perform that helped support the idea of dominent and recessive factors?
- Tall and short pea plants reporduce with self-pollination and cross-pollination.
