Inheritance

He studied how traits were passed down in pea plants.

He studied the effects of sunlight on plant growth.

He studied the different types of soil for farming.

He studied how to create new colors of flowers.

It became the only trait in the first generation.

It disappeared in the first generation but reappeared in the second.

It mixed with the purple trait to create light purple flowers.

It was present in all generations in a 1 to 1 ratio.

A trait from a parent plant can be hidden in its offspring and reappear in a later generation.

Crossing plants with different traits will always produce a blend of those traits.

Once a trait disappears in a generation, it cannot come back.

The first generation of offspring will always look like a mix of both parents.

A trait that is hidden by another genetic factor.

A trait that blocks or hides another genetic factor.

A trait that only appears when two alleles are the same.

A trait that is a blend of two different genetic factors.

The organism must have one dominant and one recessive allele.

The organism must have at least one dominant allele.

The organism must have two recessive alleles for the trait.

The organism's parents must both have shown the trait.

The flower will be white because the recessive allele is stronger in this case.

The flower will be a light purple because the two alleles blend together.

The flower will be purple because the dominant allele for purple color hides the recessive allele for white.

The flower will have both purple and white spots because both alleles are expressed.

A thread-like structure in the nucleus that contains genes.

A section of a chromosome that codes for a single trait.

The different forms or versions of a single gene.

A pair of chromosomes inherited from parents.

A gene is a structure that contains many alleles.

Alleles are different forms of the same gene.

A gene is one half of an allele pair.

Alleles are always identical to the gene.

The organism has a pair of alleles for that trait.

The organism can only have one gene for that trait.

The organism's genes will be located outside the chromosomes.

The organism's traits will come from only one parent.

The genotype is the genetic makeup that determines the observable physical trait, which is the phenotype.

The phenotype is the genetic makeup that determines the observable physical trait, which is the genotype.

The genotype and phenotype are separate traits that do not influence each other.

The genotype is an observable trait, while the phenotype is the genetic makeup.

A homozygous genotype has two different alleles, while a heterozygous genotype has two identical alleles.

A homozygous genotype has two identical alleles, while a heterozygous genotype has two different alleles.

A homozygous genotype determines a physical trait, while a heterozygous genotype does not.

A homozygous genotype is made of two phenotypes, while a heterozygous genotype is made of one.

The plant has two different alleles that control its flower color.

The plant has two identical alleles that control its flower color.

The plant's flower color is an example of a genotype.

The plant's genetic makeup cannot be determined from its traits.

To provide the instructions for building a specific protein.

To directly create an individual's observable traits.

To break down food and release energy for the cells.

To control the physical structure of the cell nucleus.

A protein's structure determines its function, which then determines the trait.

An individual's trait determines the function of the protein.

A protein's function creates the gene that leads to a trait.

A protein's structure is a trait that is visible to others.

The protein's structure and function could change, leading to a different trait.

The gene would be fixed by the body, so the trait would not change.

The protein would still function correctly, but the trait would disappear.

The individual would create a new gene to perform the correct function.

A random change in the structure of a gene.

The process by which an organism reproduces.

A temporary condition caused by the environment.

The way an organism finds food and shelter.

Whether it changes a gene or a protein.

Whether it is found in humans or other organisms.

Whether it helps or harms the organism's ability to survive.

Whether the change is permanent or temporary.

A harmful mutation, because it causes a physical change.

A beneficial mutation, because any change is an advantage.

A neutral mutation, because it does not affect the organism's survival.

A temporary mutation, because it will likely change back.

The small differences in traits among individuals in a population.

A process where all individuals in a population become identical.

The way an individual animal learns to find food.

The place where a population of animals lives.

It helps them avoid predators and increases their chances of reproducing.

It makes them stronger and better at fighting.

It allows them to eat different kinds of food.

It ensures all their offspring will have the exact same trait.

The proportion of green beetles in the population will likely increase over time.

The beetles will likely learn to hide from the birds.

The brown beetles will eventually become green.

The population will stay exactly the same with no changes.

A process where humans choose organisms with specific traits to reproduce.

A process where organisms naturally adapt to their environment without help.

A process that only creates livestock with thicker wool.

A process that uses modern technology like gene therapy.

To create exact copies of organisms using gene therapy.

To help wild animals survive in their natural habitats.

To produce organisms with more desirable and helpful features.

To observe how organisms reproduce without any human influence.

He should use gene therapy to introduce a new trait for size.

He should select and plant seeds only from the tomato plants that produced the largest fruit.

He should cross-pollinate the small tomatoes with a different type of vegetable.

He should water all the tomato plants more frequently to encourage growth.
