Mendelian and Nonmendelian Inheritance Pedigrees

Having two of the SAME alleles for a trait (example HH or hh):

• homozygous
• heterozygous
• recessive
• whack, dawg.

What is the cause of some traits "skipping" a generation?

• dominant traits
• recessive traits
• blind dumb luck
• homologous chromosomes

An allele whose trait only shows up when no dominant allele is present.

• stealth ninja spider-monkey allele
• dominant allele
• recessive allele
• present allele

This type of inheritance pattern is a MIXTURE of both traits, like the old theory of blending

• incomplete dominance
• co-dominance
• complete dominance
• recessive pattern

NGSS.HS-LS3-1

This type of inheritance pattern shows BOTH traits in possible offspring:

• complete dominance
• incomplete dominance
• co-dominance
• Indomitable

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

When two or more genes control one single trait.

• Multiple Alleles
• Several Genes
• Polygenetic Traits
• Genotype

When two or more alleles for a trait exist in a population.  Ex: Different hair colors or blood types

• SHAZAM!
• Multiple Genes
• Multiple Alleles
• Polysaccharide

The Father of Genetics is:

• Mike the Barber
• Howie Mendel
• George Mandible
• Gregor Mendel

An organism's genetic make-up, like having a TT or Tt allele:

• phenotype
• genotype
• dominant
• recessive

In this Punnett Square, bb is crossed with BB. What is the probability of a resulting Bb?

• 0%
• 25%
• 50%
• 100%
