Final Jeopardy
Research Methods
Final Jeopardy
What are observing, experimenting,
and modeling?
3 basic methods used by
ecologists to study the living
world
$200
What is genetics?
Scientific study of
heredity.
$400
What is true-breeding?
Same as self-pollination.
$600
What are genes?
Chemical factors that
determine traits.
$800
What are alleles?
Term for different forms of
genes.
$1000
What are phenotype & genotype?
Two terms: 1st term
represents your physical
characteristics. 2nd term
represents your genetic
makeup.
$200
What is dominant?
Traits that can be seen
are considered to be this.
$400
What is recessive?
Traits that are hidden until
2 come together.
$600
What is homozygous?
These two genotypes TT
& tt are considered this.
$800
What is with a capital letter
and lowercase letter; Tt?
Only one way to represent a
heterozygous genotype.
$1000
What is hybrid?
Offspring crosses between parents
with different traits.
$200
Who is Gregor Mendel?
He developed many principles
of genetics over the course
of his research.
$400
What is the Principle of
Dominance?
Some alleles are dominant
and other alleles are
recessive.
$600
What is the Principle of
Heredity?
Traits are passed from
one generation to the
next.
$800
What is probability?
The likelihood that a
specific event will
occur.
$1000
What is the Principle of
Independent Assortment?
Genes for different traits
are passed independently of
one another.
$200
What are all organisms?
Mendel’s principles of
genetics apply to which of
the following: plants only,
animals only, or all
organisms.
$400
What is a permanent
change in the DNA
sequence of a gene?
A mutation is this.
$600
What are UV rays,
asbestos, tars from
tobacco?
These are 2 example of
mutagens.
$800
What are hybrid and
heterozygous?
2 terms that are the
opposite of homozygous
$1000
What is the P generation?
The plants Mendel crossed
to produce the F1
generation made up this
generation.
$200
What is B=big eyes, b=small
eyes?
Big eyes are dominant to
small…this letter is used to
represent big eyes and this
letter is used to represent
small eyes
$400
What are LL, Ll, & ll?
In Martian’s, large heads are
dominant to small. These are
all of the possible genotypes a
Martian could be.
$600
What is Large ears?
In Martian’s, small ears
are recessive to large
ears. What is the
phenotype for a Martian
who is LL
$800
What are BB or Bb?
Knowing that blue eyes
are recessive, these are
the possible genotypes
for a person w/brown
eyes
$1000
What pure-breeding and
self-fertilized/pure-bred?
These are two synonyms
for homozygous.
$200
What is homozygous?
Organisms that have 2
identical alleles for a
particular trait are said
to be this.
$400
What are the genotypes
of the offspring?
A Punnett square is only
able to show you these.
$600
What are two
combinations; RY & rY?
This many different allele
combinations can be
produced from a genotype
of RrYY.
$800
What is incomplete
dominance?
Situation in which one allele
for a gene is NOT
completely dominant over
another allele for that gene.
$1000
What is codominance?
Crossing a black chicken BB,
with a white chicken WW
produces speckled offspring
demonstrates this.
