2 Genetics Study of heredity

3 Heredity Passing of traits from parents to offspring

4 Gene Sections of DNA on a chromosome that carry info/genetic instructions about a certain trait

5 Trait Inherited characteristics about an organism
Examples: hair color, blood type

6 allele Different forms of the same gene for a particular trait

7 Dominant A gene that controls its recessive form
The expressed for of a trait Controls the phenotype Represented by a capital letter

8 Recessive Gene that can be controlled by a dominant form
Covered up/masked by dominant trait Only expressed when both genes in a pair are recessive Represented by a lower case letter

9 Homozygous Paired traits(alleles) for a gene are the same Examples: RR

10 Heterozygous Paired traits(alleles) for a gene are different
HYBRID – 1 dominant and 1 recessive Example: Rr

11 genotype The gene makeup/combination for a trait
Determines the phenotype Examples: RR Rr rr

12 phenotype Physical appearance of a trait The trait the organism shows
Determined by the genotype Examples: Tall or short Blue eyes or Brown eyes

13 Gregor Mendel Father of genetics
1st to discover how offspring inherited traits from their parents using pea plants Discoveries One gene from mother and one from father for the same trait Dominant and Recessive Homozygous and Heterozygous

14 Punnett Square Chart used to display the potentional/possible genotypes of offspring from a particular male and female parent

15 Law of Segregation Due to meiosis, each gamete that is made only receives 1 copy of each gene

16 Law of Independent Assortment
Alleles of different genes sort independently of each other during meiosis

17 Law of Dominance If an organism is heterozygous, only the dominant trait will be seen and recessive will be hidden

18 Incomplete Dominance Inheritance in which 2 different genes combine to form a blended phenotype Both traits expressed to a degree Example: Snapdragons RR crossed with rr Yields: Rr  pink color expressed
