Final Jeopardy
$100 Question from
Gregor Mendel
What was the name given to
Gregor Mendel?
$100 Answer from
Gregor Mendel
The Father of Genetics
$200 Question from
Gregor Mendel
What did Mendel use to carry out his work?
$200 Answer from
Gregor Mendel
Garden Peas
$300 Question from
Gregor Mendel
What type of pea plants did Mendel
carry in his garden?
$300 Answer from
Gregor Mendel
True-breeding & self-pollinating
$400 Question from
Gregor Mendel
What did Mendel conclude determines
biological inheritance?
$400 Answer from
Gregor Mendel
Factors that are passed from one generation
to the next
$500 Question from
Gregor Mendel
Why were true-breeding pea plants
important for Mendel’s experiments?
$500 Answer from
Gregor Mendel
They have 2 identical alleles for a
gene, so in a genetic cross, each parent
contributes only one form of a gene.
$100 Question from
Alleles & Genes
What individual characteristics are
determined by factors that are passed
from one parental generation to the next?
$100 Answer from
Alleles & Genes
Genes
$200 Question from
Alleles & Genes
What is segregation?
$200 Answer from
Alleles & Genes
Separation of alleles
$300 Question from
Alleles & Genes
What is the principle called that states
that some alleles are dominant and
others are recessive?
$300 Answer from
Alleles & Genes
Principle of dominance
$400 Question from
Alleles & Genes
What evidence did Mendel use to
explain how segregation occurs?
$400 Answer from
Alleles & Genes
A short plant appeared in the F2 generation,
proving that the plant had only recessive
alleles.
$500 Question from
Alleles & Genes
What happens to alleles between the
P generation and the F2 generation?
$500 Answer from
Alleles & Genes
The two alleles of the P generation
separate during gamete formation.
Each gamete carries a single allele
from each parent. As a result, the F2
generation has new alleles.
$100 Question from
Mendel's Principles
What is the concept of the likelihood
that an event will occur?
$100 Answer from
Mendel's Principles
Probability
$200 Question from
Mendel's Principles
What is the term given to organisms
that have two identical alleles for
a particular gene?
$200 Answer from Mendel's
Principles
Homozygous
$300 Question from
Mendel's Principles
Tt is an example of what type of gene?
$300 Answer from
Mendel's Principles
Heterozygous
$400 Question from
Mendel's Principles
How did Gregor Mendel contribute to our
understanding of inherited traits?
$400 Answer from
Mendel's Principles
The patterns of inheritance he observed
form the basis of modern genetics.
$500 Question from
Mendel's Principles
How are Punnett squares used to
predict the outcomes of genetic
crosses?
$500 Answer from
Mendel's Principles
They are used to show all of the
combinations of alleles that might
result from a cross and the likelihood
that each might occur.
$100 Question from Patterns of
Inheritance
What term is given when one allele
is not completely dominant over another?
$100 Answer from Patterns of
Inheritance
Incomplete dominance
$200 Question from Patterns of
Inheritance
In incomplete dominance where
does the heterozygous phenotype
lie?
$200 Answer from Patterns of
Inheritance
Between the 2 homozygous
phenotypes
$300 Question from Patterns of
Inheritance
What term is given to people with
the heterozygous form of a gene that
produces 2 forms of proteins, with
different effects on cholesterol levels?
$300 Answer from Patterns of
Inheritance
Codominance
$400 Question from Patterns of
Inheritance
What is the relationship between
the environment and phenotype?
$400 Answer from Patterns of
Inheritance
The environment affects how genes
are expressed and therefore influence
an organism’s phenotype.
$500 Question from Patterns of
Inheritance
What might be the result of an
exceptionally hot spring on wing
pigmentation in the western white
butterfly?
$500 Answer from Patterns of
Inheritance
The higher temperatures of an
unusually hot spring will likely result
in lighter wing colors.
$100 Question from
Independent Assortment
What term was given to Mendel’s
alleles segregate experiment?
$100 Answer from Independent
Assortment
The Two-Factor Cross
$200 Question from Independent
Assortment
Why is the fruit fly an ideal organism
for genetic research?
$200 Answer from Independent
Assortment
They are small, easy to keep in the
lab, and produce large numbers of
offspring in a short amount of time.
$300 Question from Independent
Assortment
Why didn’t Mendel know, from the
results of the first cross, whether
two genes segregated independently?
$300 Answer from Independent
Assortment
All the offspring had dominant
alleles.
$400 Question from Independent
Assortment
What evidence did Mendel have that
alleles segregated independently?
$400 Answer from Independent
Assortment
All combinations of phenotypes
were shown as a result.
$500 Question from Independent
Assortment
What does Mendel’s Principles
explain?
$500 Answer from Independent
Assortment
They explain that heredity, observed
through patterns of inheritance, form the
basis of modern genetics.
Final Jeopardy
What is the difference between the “Law of
Dominance” & the “Law of Segregation”?
Final Jeopardy Answer
The Law of Dominance states that a
dominant gene will express itself over a
recessive gene and a recessive trait will
only be expressed if an individual has two
recessive genes.
The Law of Segregation states that alleles
separate during gamete formation so that
each gamete carries only one of the genes.
