Bio Unit 9 - Topic 1 | Introduction to Mendelian Genetics

They are slow to grow and hard to breed.

They have many traits that are easy to observe and can self-pollinate.

They have only one trait.

They mutate quickly.

Genotype is the physical appearance; phenotype is the genetic makeup.

Genotype is inherited traits only from the mother.

Genotype is the genetic makeup; phenotype is the physical appearance.

Genotype is the traits you choose to display.

Genes are linked together forever.

Traits are blended from both parents.

Only dominant traits are passed to offspring.

Organisms inherit one allele randomly from each parent for each trait.

In incomplete dominance, both traits fully show separately.

In codominance, traits blend together. In incomplete dominance both traits show individually

In codominance, no traits are visible.

In incomplete dominance, traits blend together, while in codominance, both traits show separately.

Traits are fixed and cannot change.

Selective breeding can emphasize different traits over time.

Only physical appearance can change.

Genes mutate randomly without any human influence.
