Genetics and punnett squares

Front

What does each box in a Punnett Square represent in terms of genotype probability?

Back

25% probability of an offspring's genotype.

Front

What allele pair would replace the '?' in a Punnett Square if the options are WW, Ww, and ww?

Back

Ww.

Front

If A = red fur and a = white fur, what color fur would Aa be?

Back

Red.

Front

What is the probability that the offspring will show the dominant trait if the options are 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, and 0%?

Back

75%.

Front

What are the characteristics that make one individual different from another, such as eye color and hair color?

Back

Traits.

Front

What is a Punnett Square used for in genetics?

Back

To predict the probability of offspring inheriting particular traits.

Front

Define genotype.

Back

The genetic makeup of an individual, represented by alleles.

Front

Define phenotype.

Back

The observable characteristics or traits of an individual.

Front

What is the difference between dominant and recessive alleles?

Back

Dominant alleles express their trait even if only one copy is present; recessive alleles require two copies to express their trait.

Front

What does homozygous mean?

Back

Having two identical alleles for a particular gene.
