Inheritance where both alleles
are expressed in the offspring
What is incomplete dominance?
Return
Chart showing a trait from
generation to generation
What is a pedigree?
Return
More than one set of genes
controls a trait
What is polygenic inheritance?
Return
Physical appearance resulting
from the pairs of genes for a trait
What is phenotype?
Return
A trait with two alleles that are
the same
What is homozygous?
Return
Genetic make-up of an
organism
What is genotype?
Return
An allele that is hidden in
heterozygous genotypes
What is recessive?
Return
Study of how alleles affect offspring
What is genetics?
Return
DAILY
DOUBLE
Different forms of the same
gene
What are alleles?
Return
Passing of traits from one
generation to the next
What is heredity?
Return
A disease where thick mucus is
produced in lungs and the
digestive system
What is cystic fibrosis?
Return
The probability that a baby will be
a boy
What is 1/2?
Return
Genetic engineering has already
helped people this way.
What is increasing our food supply?
Return
Hemophilia results from an allele
found here.
What is on the X chromosome?
Return
Sickle-cell anemia is an
example of this.
What is a homozygous recessive
disorder?
Return
Blood type inheritance is an
example of this.
What is multiple alleles?
Return
A red 4 o’clock crossed with a
white 4 o’clock to produce a pink
4 o’clock is an example of this.
What is incomplete
dominance?
Return
The combination of Tt represents a
____ genotype.
What is heterozygous?
Return
In a Punnett square, a capital
letter (T) stands for this kind of
allele.
What is dominant?
Return
He is considered to be the father of
genetics.
Who is Mendel?
Return
A person who does not have the
disorder but has a normal gene
paired with a gene for the disorder is
called this.
What is a carrier?
Return
Hair color in humans is
inherited this way.
What is polygenic inheritance?
Return
If a father is a hemophiliac, why
do none of his sons have it?
The father passes the Y onto
his sons which doesn’t
contain the gene for
hemophilia.
Return
The genotype for a half-filled
circle in a pedigree showing
hemophilia
What is XHXh?
Return
The phenotype of a person with
genotype XHXh if H=normal
blood clotting and
h=hemophilia
What is a normal blood clotter?
Return
FINAL
JEOPARDY
Sex-Linked Trait
?
This is why sex-linked
conditions show up more in
males than in females.
A female needs 2 of the recessive
genes to have the condition while the
males need just one because the
gene is carried on the X
chromosome but not the Y.
The genotype of a person represented by
an empty square on a pedigree to track
hemophila
What is XHY?
The phenotype of a person with genotype XHY
for the trait of hemophilia
What is a normal clotter?
The probability of a person represented by
an empty circle on a pedigree passing
on the hemophilia trait
What is 0%?
The probability in percent of a person
represented by a filled-in square on a
pedigree passing on the hemophilia trait
What is 50%?
The probability in percent of a person
represented as a half-filled circle on a
pedigree passing on the hemophilia trait
What is 50%?
