Question 1

step 1

Answer 1

Produced a “true-breeding” population called the “P” generation by self-pollinating plants with the desired trait.

Question 2

step 2

Answer 2

Produced a “F1” generation by cross-pollinating the P generation

Question 3

step 3

Answer 3

Produced a “F2” generation by self-pollinating the F1 generation

Question 4

Question 6

allele

Answer 6

One of two (or more) forms of a gene.
Each individual has two alleles per trait.
Each parent will pass one allele to the offspring.

Question 7

The F2 generation will produce

Answer 7

3:1 ratio

Question 8

dominant

Answer 8

The genetic trait that is expressed when its allele is present.
Capital letters (Ex: B)

Question 9

recessive

Answer 9

The genetic trait that is hidden when the dominant allele is present.
Lowercase letters (Ex: b)

Question 10

phenotypes

Answer 10

The physical appearance of an organism.
Word descriptions (Blue eyes, black hair)

Question 11

genotype

Answer 11

The genetic makeup of an organism
Letters (BB, Bb, bb)

Question 12

homozygous

Answer 12

Genotype that has two IDENTICAL alleles for a trait
Two types: BB (homozygous dominant) or bb (homozygous recessive)

Question 13

heterozygous

Answer 13

Genotype that has two DIFFERENT alleles for a trait
Ex: Bb
