  1. Who is the Father of Genetics?

  2. Mendel

  3. a type of gene that is hidden by a dominant gene

  4. Recessive

  5. used to show the possible gene combinations in a cross between two organisms

  6. Punnett Square

  7. A a A a Punnet Squares • What tools can we use to predict each generation? • Simplest tool is a Punnet Square

  8. Parents A a A AA Aa a Aa aa

  9. a gene responsible for determining traits in an organism

  10. Allele

  11. chromosomes that do not determine the sex of a person

  12. Autosome

  13. HH

  14. Homozygous Dominant

  15. pattern where the phenotypes of both homozygous parents are present in heterozygous offspring; both alleles are equally expressed

  16. Codominant Alleles

  17. the stronger trait in a gene pair

  18. Dominant

  19. union of a sperm and egg

  20. Fertilization

  21. the branch of biology that studies heredity and variation in organisms

  22. Genetics

  23. an organism's genetic makeup, or allele combinations

  24. Genotype

  25. an organism that has two different alleles for a single trait, for example (Hh)

  26. Heterozygous

  27. two of the same alleles for a trait, for example (HH)

  28. Homozygous

  29. an organism that is heterozygous for a particular trait

  30. Hybrid

  31. a genetic pattern in which neither of the two forms of a trait completely masks the other

  32. Incomplete Dominance

  33. any chromosome other than a sex chromosome

  34. Autosome

  35. a picture of all the chromosomes in a cell arranged in pairs

  36. Karyotype

  37. having more than two alleles that control a trait

  38. Multiple Alleles

  39. a chart or "family tree" that tracks which members of a family have a particular trait

  40. Pedigree

  41. what an organism looks like as a consequence of its genotype

  42. Phenotype

  43. transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of a plant

  44. Pollination

  45. hh

  46. Homozygous Recessive

  47. occurs when groups of gene pairs act together to produce a specific trait

  48. Polygenic Inheritance

  49. a trait that will be masked by more dominant trait

  50. Recessive
