Item 1
ALLELE
reroductive rpocess that involves one parent and produces offbpring identical to the parent
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
basic physical and functional unit of heredity; made up of DNA
GENE
characteristic that is passed from parent to offspring
VARIATION
a new organism produced by one or more parents
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
tool used to analyze the possible allele combinations of the offspring between two individuals
OFFSPRING
The variety of gene combinations that exist within a population
Item 2

GENETIC VARIATION
The reproductive process involving two parents whose genetic material is combined to produce a new organism

Complete the Punnett Square below and then answer the questions using the information in the Punnett Square.

1

Green eyes DOMINANT (Gg) mixes with a Blue eyes RECESSIVE (gg)

1

Does the uppercase letter (G )represent the dominant or recessive trait?

1

Does the lowercase letter (g) represent the dominant or recessive trait?

1

If the combination of letters has an uppercase G, will we see the dominant or recessive trait?

1

Based on your Punnett Square outcome, how many offspring with the dominant trait might show up?

1

Tarik and Julia are about to have a child. Tarik has dark hair (Dd). Julia also has dark hair (Dd). Make a prediction about the hair color possibilities of their child: whether the child will have dark or light hair.

1

How many DD combinations show up?

1

What color hair will the children with DD have?

1

How many Dd combinations are shown?

1

What color hair will the children with Dd combination have?

1

Is there any possible way Tark and Julia (who both have dark hair) can have children with light hair? EXPLAIN:

Who is the Austrian monk who studied peas and pea plants?

1

When Mendel bred a plant with yellow peas with a plant with green peas, in the next generation all the plants had yellow peas.  This is due to the fact that...

1

The "hidden trait" that caused the plant with green peas is called a:

1

An allele is a:

1

Homozygous pairs result when the alleles are:

1

The heterozygous organism has:

1

The genotype is the set of alleles (ie. YY, Yy, or yy).  The phenotype is...

1

What is the name of the model we have been using to predict the genotype and phenotype probabilities of offspring?
