Genetics
1. What is a chromosome?
2. Where are chromosomes located?
A threadlike structure of DNA and protein that contains genetic information.
In eukaryotes chromosomes are found in the nucleus; in prokaryotes, they are found in the cytoplasm
Chromosomes
Genetics
3. What are genes?
4. Where are genes found?
Genetics
Special sequences of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a trait.
Genes are found on chromosomes.
5. What is genetics?
6. Who is considered the father of genetics?
Genetics
Genetics is the scientific study of heredity.
Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk Mendel’s paper
on genetics 1865
7. What kind of organism did Mendel study?
8. What are some of the traits that Mendel studied?
Genetics
Mendel studied pea plants
Seed color and shape; Pod color and shape; Flower color and position
9. What is an allele?
Genetics
An allele is one of a number of different forms of a gene.
For example, the gene for flower color in peas has two alleles—purple (P) and white (p).
And the gene for seed pod color has two alleles—Green (G) and yellow (g).
Green Seed Pod

10. What is meant by Mendelian Genetics?
Genetics
Any traits that are controlled by a single gene. For example, flower color is controlled by a single gene that has two alleles.
Locus for Flower Color

11. What is a locus?The specific location of a gene on a chromosome.
12. What is a true breeding plant?
Genetics
True breeding plants always make offspring identical to themselves. For example, white flower plants always produce white flower offspring.

Offspring
And purple flower plants always produce purple flower offspring.

14. How many alleles for a single gene can an organism have?
Genetics
Two. Offspring inherit one allele from the male parent and the other allele from the female parent.
13. What is the universal symbol for a male and female?
Male Female

15. State Mendel’s Principle of Dominance?
Genetics
This principle states that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive.
For example, a plant that has a purple allele (P) and a white allele (p) will have purple flowers. This is because the purple allele is dominant over the white allele.

17. Define phenotype?
Genetics
16. Define genotype?
The phenotype is the physical characteristic of an organism. For example, the phenotype of the flower shown at right is white.
The genotype is the genetic makeup of an organism. For example, the possible genotypes for a purple flower could be PP or Pp.
19. What is the phenotype of each flower?
Genetics
18. Identify the genotype for each flower shown below?

21. Which of the following is a hybrid?
Genetics
A hybrid is an organism that has two different alleles for a particular gene.
Pp
20. What is a hybrid?
PP pp
Hybrid plant True breeding plants
Genetics
Homo- means “same” and -zygous means “pair.”Homozygous refers to the fact that two alleles for a gene are the same. For example PP or pp
22. What does homozygous mean
Hetero- means “different. Heterozygous refers to the fact that two alleles for a gene are different. For example, Pp.
23. What does heterozygous mean
Pp
PP
pp
Genetics24. Match the flower genotypes on the left to the terms on the right.
Homozygous recessive
Heterozygous
Homozygous dominant
25. How do the alleles get from parents to offspring?
Genetics
The chromosomes the alleles reside on are packaged in gametes (sex cells), like egg and sperm. Egg Sperm
When egg and sperm meet, fertilization occurs, making a new cell called a zygote.
Fertilization
The zygote will divide by mitosis and develop into an embryo.

a. Since this is a monohybrid cross, you should have drawn a 2 x 2 Punnett square.

Punnett Square Review
Mono- means “one.” Hybrid refers to having different alleles for the same gene. Since the cross deals with only one character (mono-) and each parent is a hybrid, the cross is described as monohybrid.

41. Study the table below for a pattern. What number do you think goes in the last space? (Assume genes are on separate chromosomes and sort independently)

The formula for calculating the
number of possible gametes
is 2n, where 2 equals the number of
different alleles and n is the
number of genes.
Genetics
42. Humans have 23 sets of chromosomes. How many different ways could these chromosomes sort independently?
Hint: You would use the same formula as was done for alleles and genes (2n). However, this time
n represents the number of chromosome sets.
2n = 223 = 8,388,608 different combinations

Since this is a dihybrid cross, you should have drawn a 4 x 4 Punnett square. Each parent will also be able to produce 4 different kinds of gametes.
