inheritance

Question 1

allele

Answer 1

different forms of the same gene/ variation of the gene

Question 2

genotype

Answer 2

the combo of alleles determined by letters

Question 3

homozygous

Answer 3

inherited two alleles that are the same AA or aa

Question 4

Heterozygous

Answer 4

inherited alleals that are different Aa

Question 5

phenotype

Answer 5

physical trait that they display determined by genotype

Question 6

complete dominance

Answer 6

when atleast one alleles are dominant

Question 7

punnet square steps

Answer 7

1. state alleles B=brown b=brown
2. write the cross your doing brown eyes (Bb) x blue eyes (bb)
3. draw punnet square
   4.phen and geno types ratios and probiility

Question 8

Incomplete Dominance

Answer 8

where neither allele is dominant there is now a blended phenotype (both alleles have different letters RR WW = RW

Question 9

CO Domiance

Answer 9

where both aleals are equally dominant both traits will be shown ( white and black spots)(RR WW = RW

Question 10

Sex Linkage

Answer 10

any gene found on a sex chromosome is a sex linked trait

Question 11

species

Answer 11

organisms that can successfully interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring

Question 12

natural selection

Answer 12

acts on phenotypes of individuals so that some survive and reproduce while others don’t. through this favourable traits are inherited and are passed on

Question 13

VEST

Answer 13

V- populations have variation between organisms
E- Environmental factors act on populations
S-individuals with most suited phenotype are selected therefore survive and reproduce T- Over time the alleles are passed onto generation therefore population evolves

Question 14

Evolution

Answer 14

is the change in the characteristics of a species over many generations
