Not that kind of

jeans!

A second pair
of genes!

Oh meiosis!

Dominant?
Or maybe not

inherit?

What is a gene?
Section of a DNA molecule that contains the information to code for a specific protein

An individual who
has two different
alleles for a trait
.
_Hybrid or

hetereozygous_________

If an allele for a specific

trait is not completely
dominant over the other
allele it is called?
Incomplete dominance

A striped fruit fly is crossed

with a non-striped fly.
N = non-striped is dominant
n = striped is recessive
What is the genotype of the
striped parent?
nn

A striped fruit fly is crossed

with a non-striped fly. All 100
offspring are non-striped.
N = non-striped is dominant
n = striped is recessive

What is the genotype of the

non-striped parent?
NN

What is
an allele?
Different forms of a gene

An individual who
has two identical
alleles for a gene is
___purebred_____
__ .

What does it
mean if an allele
is dominant?
It is the one whose trait always shows up in the organism when the allele is present

Why do some of the offspring

of 2 hybrid individuals show the
recessive form of the trait?
The hybrid parents each had one recessive gene hidden

The B gene controls the color of a dogs

coat. The R gene controls the texture.
Gene
Color
Texture

Dominant Recessive
B=Black

b=White

R=Rough r=Smooth

Which traits would occur in the following

offspring?
bbRR
White fur & rough texture

What types of cells

are produced by
meiosis?
Sex cells

During meiosis, the chromosome

pairs separate into two different
cells. The sex cells that form later
have only _____as many
chromosomes as the other cells in
the organism .
(half)

Each skunk body cell has 50

chromosomes. How many
chromosomes will each
skunk sex cell have?
25

State 1 advantage for sexual

reproduction and 1 advantage
for asexual reproduction.
Sexual reproduction can producce new combinations of DNA
Asexual reproduction one parent can quickly provide many identical offspring

Consider the following statement:

Organisms that reproduce
asexually are at a higher risk of
extinction than organisms that
reproduce sexually. Do you agree or
disagree? Explain your answer.
Organisms from asexual reproduction have no genetic variation and may not survive changes in environment

In a heterozygous
individual, the
______dominant____
allele determines the
phenotype.

For a particular plant, leaf texture

is ether fuzzy or smooth. A
purebred fuzzy plant is crossed
with a purebred smooth plant. All
offspring are smooth. Which one
is dominant? How do you know?

___smooth ____

Mendel crossed 2 pea plants:

one with green pods and one
with yellow pods. The F1
generation all had green
pods. What color pods will
the F2 generation have?
Most F2 will be green but some will be yellow

A child has a genetic disease

caused by a single gene.
Neither parent has the
disease. The allele that
causes the genetic disease is
.
____recessive______

Suppose a white kitten with a tiger

pattern and an orange kitten with a
tiger pattern are both in the
mothers litter. Can you describe
what you think the kittens father
looks like? Explain.
Father may have white fur or orange fur or both

A daughter inherits
a. more genes from her mother
b. more genes from her father
c. one copy of each gene from
her mother and one copy
from her father
C

A man who is heterozygous for

the albino allele is married to a
woman who is homozygous for
normal skin color (Aa x AA).
What fraction of their children
would you expect to be albino?
0/4

In horses, the allele for black

coat (B) is dominant over the
allele for a brown coat (b). A
cross between a black horse and
a brown horse produces a brown
coat. Is the black horse hybrid
or purebred? hybrid

In guinea pigs, the allele for

smooth coat (S) is dominant
over the allele for a rough
coat (s). Explain how you
could find out whether a
guinea pig with a smooth
coat is hybrid or purebred.
Cross smooth coat pig with rough coat pig all rough=hybrid, all smooth=purebred

What is the probability that a

cross between a hybrid pea plant
with round seeds and one with
wrinkled seeds will produce
offspring with wrinkled seeds?
__1/2 or 50%_.
