$100 Question from Gregor Mendel

What was the name given toGregor Mendel?

$100 Answer from Gregor Mendel

The Father of Genetics

$200 Question from Gregor Mendel

What did Mendel use to carry out his work?

$200 Answer from Gregor Mendel

Garden Peas

$300 Question from Gregor Mendel

What type of pea plants did Mendel carry in his garden?

$300 Answer from Gregor Mendel

True-breeding & self-pollinating

$400 Question from Gregor Mendel

What did Mendel conclude determinesbiological inheritance?

$400 Answer from Gregor Mendel

Factors that are passed from one generationto the next

$500 Question from Gregor Mendel

Why were true-breeding pea plantsimportant for Mendel’s experiments?

$500 Answer from Gregor Mendel

They have 2 identical alleles for agene, so in a genetic cross, each parent contributes only one form of a gene.

$100 Question from Alleles & Genes

What individual characteristics are determined by factors that are passed

from one parental generation to the next?

$100 Answer from Alleles & Genes

Genes

$200 Question from Alleles & Genes

What is segregation?

$200 Answer from Alleles & Genes

Separation of alleles

$300 Question from Alleles & Genes

What is the principle called that statesthat some alleles are dominant and

others are recessive?

$300 Answer from Alleles & Genes

Principle of dominance

$400 Question from Alleles & Genes

What evidence did Mendel use to explain how segregation occurs?

$400 Answer from Alleles & Genes

A short plant appeared in the F2 generation,proving that the plant had only recessive

alleles.

$500 Question from Alleles & Genes

What happens to alleles between the P generation and the F2 generation?

$500 Answer from Alleles & Genes

The two alleles of the P generationseparate during gamete formation.Each gamete carries a single allele

from each parent. As a result, the F2generation has new alleles.

$100 Question from Mendel's Principles

What is the concept of the likelihood that an event will occur?

$100 Answer from Mendel's Principles

Probability

$200 Question from Mendel's Principles

What is the term given to organisms that have two identical alleles for

a particular gene?

$200 Answer from Mendel's Principles

Homozygous

$300 Question from Mendel's Principles

Tt is an example of what type of gene?

$300 Answer from Mendel's Principles

Heterozygous

$400 Question from Mendel's Principles

How did Gregor Mendel contribute to ourunderstanding of inherited traits?

$400 Answer from Mendel's Principles

The patterns of inheritance he observedform the basis of modern genetics.

$500 Question from Mendel's Principles

How are Punnett squares used to predict the outcomes of genetic

crosses?

$500 Answer from Mendel's Principles

They are used to show all of the combinations of alleles that might

result from a cross and the likelihoodthat each might occur.

$100 Question from Patterns of Inheritance

What term is given when one alleleis not completely dominant over another?

$100 Answer from Patterns of Inheritance

Incomplete dominance

$200 Question from Patterns of Inheritance

In incomplete dominance wheredoes the heterozygous phenotype

lie?

$200 Answer from Patterns of Inheritance

Between the 2 homozygous phenotypes

$300 Question from Patterns of Inheritance

What term is given to people with the heterozygous form of a gene that produces 2 forms of proteins, with

different effects on cholesterol levels?

$300 Answer from Patterns of Inheritance

Codominance

$400 Question from Patterns of Inheritance

What is the relationship betweenthe environment and phenotype?

$400 Answer from Patterns of Inheritance

The environment affects how genesare expressed and therefore influence

an organism’s phenotype.

$500 Question from Patterns of Inheritance

What might be the result of an exceptionally hot spring on wing

pigmentation in the western white butterfly?

$500 Answer from Patterns of Inheritance

The higher temperatures of an unusually hot spring will likely result

in lighter wing colors.

$100 Question from Independent Assortment

What term was given to Mendel’s alleles segregate experiment?

$100 Answer from Independent Assortment

The Two-Factor Cross

$200 Question from Independent Assortment

Why is the fruit fly an ideal organismfor genetic research?

$200 Answer from Independent Assortment

They are small, easy to keep in thelab, and produce large numbers of offspring in a short amount of time.

$300 Question from Independent Assortment

Why didn’t Mendel know, from theresults of the first cross, whether

two genes segregated independently?

$300 Answer from Independent Assortment

All the offspring had dominantalleles.

$400 Question from Independent Assortment

What evidence did Mendel have that alleles segregated independently?

$400 Answer from Independent Assortment

All combinations of phenotypeswere shown as a result.

$500 Question from Independent Assortment

What does Mendel’s Principles explain?

$500 Answer from Independent Assortment

They explain that heredity, observed through patterns of inheritance, form the

basis of modern genetics.

Final Jeopardy

What is the difference between the “Law ofDominance” & the “Law of Segregation”?

Final Jeopardy AnswerThe Law of Dominance states that a dominant gene will express itself over a recessive gene and a recessive trait will only be expressed if an individual has two recessive genes.The Law of Segregation states that alleles separate during gamete formation so that each gamete carries only one of the genes.
