Vocabulary ReviewGENETICSGENETICS
2
Study of how characteristics are
transmitted from parent to offspring
GENETICS
3
The father of genetics
GREGOR MENDEL
4
Physical feature determined by the
genotype
PHENOTYPE
5
Plant used by Mendel for his hereditary studies
GARDEN PEAS
6
Transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring
HEREDITY
7
A genetically determined characteristic
TRAIT
8
Stronger of two alleles that shows up most often
DOMINANT
9
Transferring pollen grains from anthers to the stigma of flowers
POLLINATION
10
How garden peas are pollinated
SELF POLLINATION
11
Female part of a flower
STIGMA
12
Having identical alleles (AA or aa)
HOMOZYGOUS
13
Another term for a heterozygous genotype
HYBRID
14
Law stating that a pair of alleles will separate
whenever gametes are formed
LAW OF SEGREGATION
15
F1 Dihybrid phenotypic ratio
9:3:3:1
16
A genotype having one dominant and one
recessive allele
HETEROZYGOUS
17
Law stating that alleles separate independently of
each other when sperm and eggs are formed
LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT
18
F1 Monohybrid Genotypic ratio
1:2:1
19
F1 Monohybrid Phenotypic ratio
3:1
20
How Mendel pollinated garden peas
CROSS POLLINATION
21
Male part of a flower
ANTHER/STAMEN
22
The generation of true-breeding plants that
Mendel used first
P1 GENERATION
23
Two forms of a gene
ALLELES
24
Instructions on DNA that code for specific proteins
or traits
GENES
25
The weaker of two alleles in a pair that is often
masked by the dominant allele
RECESSIVE
26
Gene combination in the offspring
GENOTYPE
27
Dominance that occurs whenever both alleles for
a trait are expressed
CODOMINANCE
28
Type of genetics that studies the genes and
chromosomes of an organism
MOLECULAR GENETICS
29
Type of letter used to represent a dominant
allele
CAPITAL
30
What Mendel called alleles in his experiments
with pea plants
FACTORS
31
The likelihood that an event will occur like
tossing heads or tails on a coin
PROBABILITY
32
Cross involving two traits
DIHYBRID
33
Dominance that occurs whenever the hybrid
genotype produces a new, intermediate phenotype
INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
34
Used to solve genetics problems
PUNNETT SQUARE
35
Generation of all hybrids produced by crossing two
pure organisms
F1 GENERATION
36
Crossing a hybrid with a pure organism is this type
of cross (1:1)
TESTCROSS
37
Genetic cross involving a single trait
MONOHYBRID
38
Type of dominance in which the dominant allele
is always expressed
COMPLETE DOMINANCE
39
Generation that shows a 3:1 ratio of phenotypes
F2 GENERATION
