Predicting Heredity
2
11.2 Heredity Genes and Alleles
Gregor Mendel did not know about genes, _______________________, DNA, or meiosis. In 1903, American scientist Walter Sutton (1877 to 1916) examined the ________________ of the cell of a grasshopper under a microscope. Sutton observed cell parts separating during __________________ ___________________ Soon chromosomes were discovered to contain __________________.
3
Individual units called _______ determine an organism’s traits.
A gene is a segment of DNA located on a ____________ that carries hereditary instructions from parent to offspring. For each gene, an organism typically receives one ___________ from each parent. If an organism inherits different alleles for a trait, one allele may be ___________ over the other. The alleles of a gene separate from each other when ________ ___________are formed during meiosis.
4
11.2 Alleles and meiosis Homologous pairs of _______________________ separate during meiosis. Since alleles of a gene are found in matching locations on homologous pairs of ______________________, they also separate during meiosis.
6
11.2 Predicting Genotypes and Phenotypes
You can ___________ the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring if you know the genotypes of the parents. A Punnett square shows all of the possible combinations of alleles from the _______________.
8
11.2 Punnett squares and probability
________________ is the mathematical chance that an event will occur. Probability can be expressed as a _______________ or a percentage.
