2. This Austrian Monk is known as the Father of modern Genetics.

3. Who is Gregor Mendel

4. In his study of heredity Mendel used this type of plant.

5. Pea Plant

6. Through his research Mendel developed this.

7. The first workable model of how genetics works

8. The pea plant was ideal for Mendel’s Research because they had these features. (list three)

9. Tall and Short, Smooth and wrinkled seeds, and Complete flowers

10. In order to perform his experiment Mendel need to have this type of strain of plants

11. Purebred

12. Define: Law of Dominance

13. Certain traits are dominant and appear to make recessive traits disappear.

14. Define: The Law of Independent Assortment

15. Factors (genes) for certain characteristics are passed from one generation to the next independently from other traits

16. Define a Dominant Trait

17. Expressive allele, indicated by a capital letter.

18. Define a Recessive trait

19. The genes do not express themselves; these are represented by lower case letters

20. Define Probability

21. The likelihood that some outcome will occur

22. Chromosome

23. Rod shaped bodies that occur in pairs, carry the genetic make up

24. Genetics

25. The study of how traits are passed

26. Genes

27. Heredity units located on the chromosome

28. Homozygous

29. Condition in which two alleles in a given location are the same

30. Heterozygous

31. Condition when two alleles at a given location are different

32. Define Genotype

33. The Genetic composition of an individual

34. Define Phenotype

35. How an allele expresses itself, what it looks like

36. Is the following gene set Heterozygous or Homozygous BB

37. Homozygous

38. If you see a black cow standing in a field, do you know its phenotype or genotype? How? (Black is dominant)

39. The phenotype is black (what it looks like). You know that it has at least one black gene, but you cannot know the rest of its genotype.

40. Define Meiosis

41. Process of cell division that produces gametes, having a haploid number of chromosomes

42. The shape of DNA is called a

43. Double Helix

44. List the four Nitrogen bases (full names)

45. Adenine, Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine

46. Which nitrogen bases are purines?

47. Adenine & Guanine

48. How do the bases pair?

49. A-T & C-G

50. Which parent controls the gender of offspring and why?

51. Male, because his chromosomes are XY and the female is XX meaning whatever the male passes becomes the new offspring's gender
