Heredity

1.  Occurs when two or more genes in different places on a chromosome or on different chromosomes interact to control a single character.

• incomplete dominance

• simple dominance

• polygenic inheritance

• codominance

 A God-ordained process that occurs in the present and takes advantage of the variations within the kinds and works to preserve the genetic viability of the kinds. It is often used to support evolution, but it does NOT produce new "kinds".

• heredity

• natural selection

• co-dominance

• allele

1. The trait that an organism expresses as determined by its genotype.

 (tall or short)

• allele

• phenotype

• codominant

• genotype

1. Some organisms grow up and have babies, but some die.  Some have more babies than others.  This causes certain characteristics to show up more in later generations. This happens completely randomly and unpredictably. What does this explain?

• natural selection

• genetic drift

• codominance

• hybrids

Traits that are hidden in a hybrid.

• Dominant traits
• Phenotypic traits
• Genetic traits
• Recessive traits

The process through which organisms with certain adaptations survive to pass on their traits to offspring.

• natural selection

• polygenic inheritance

• genetic drift

• simple dominance

1.  A form of a character such as tall or short, purple, white, etc.

• trait or characteristic

• gene or allele

• chromosome or DNA

• genotype or phenotype

1. An alternative version or form of a specific gene.

• allele

• dominant trait

• adaptation

• recessive trait

Red and white snapdragons crossed make some pink offspring. This is an example of __________.

• codominance

• polygenic inheritance

• incomplete dominance

• genetic drift

1.  An inherited trait that helps an animal survive to reproduce.

• purebred

• genetic drift

• polygenic inheritance

• adaptation
