What was Mendel’s
Nickname?
The Father of Genetics
What Country was Mendel
from?
Austria
Where did Mendel conduct his
experiments?
In the Monestary
What are Mendel’s 3 Laws of
Inheritance?
1. Law of Dominance
2. Law of Segregation
3. Law of Independent Assortment
What are 3 reasons he chose to
study pea plants?
1. Easy to Grow
2. Short Life Cycle
3. Easy to control breeding
4. Lots of traits to study
What does homozygous mean
and what are the two different
ways we can have a homozygous
individual?
Homozygous means that the
Individual has two copies of the
Same allele.
They may be dominant
Or recessive
What is a carrier? Explain in
words and show a genotype.
An individual who does not
express the symptoms of a trait
but carries a recessive copy of
it.
Nn
What’s the difference between
Phenotype and Genotype?
Genotype is the combination of
alleles
Phenotype is the way the gene
physically expresses itself.
What is incomplete dominance?
There are two alleles equally
dominant and neither masks
the other. Instead we get a mix
of both phenotypes to create an
in between phenotype.
What does truebreeding mean?
An individual who when self
pollinates, has offspring with
the same phenotype as itself.
A homozygous individual.
A man who is heterozygous for a
widow’s peak marries a woman
with a flat hairline. What is the
probability of their child having
a flat hairline? Show your
punnett square.
50%
Purple and Round are dominant
over white and wrinkled. What
is the probability of having a
white round plant in a cross
between PpRr x Pprr?
1/4
A man who is heterozygous for
blood type A marries a woman
who is heterozygous for blood
type B. What is the probability
of their child having blood type
O?
25% or 1/4
A red cow is mated with a white cow
and all of their offspring have both
red and white hairs.
What type of inheritance is this?
Explain why you think so.
Show the punnett square for this cross.
Co-Dominance
Explain how it is possible for a woman to
inherit a sex linked trait. What genotypes
would their parents have and show how it
results in a woman with a sex linked trait.
XnY x XNXn
What do the terms haploid and
diploid mean?
Haploid means a cell has half
the number of chromosomes.
Diploid means the cell has the
full number of chromosomes.
At what phase do homologous
pairs of chromosomes line up
along the cell’s equator?
Metaphase I
What is the material that is
produced by the centrioles?
Spindle fiber.
What is the final result of
Meiosis II?
4 haploid genetically different
gametes.
What are two ways that meiosis creates
genetic diversity amongst the gametes?
Explain these terms.
Crossing Over which occurs in
Prophase I.
Independent Allignment the
random way in which
chromosomes line up along the
equator during metaphase I.
What’s the difference between
an autosomal condition and a
sex-linked condition?
Autosomal condition is carried
on one of the 44 chromosomes
that are not the X or Y
chromosomes.
Sex linked trait is carried on
the X chromosome.
Explain what non-disjunction is
and the two versions of it.
The failure of chromosomes to
Separate properly during meiosis.
Monosomy missing one
Chromosome
Trisomy extra chromosome
What are two ways of testing
for a condition?
Testing for a protein &
Amniocentesis
What’s the difference between a
genetic condition and a
chromosomal condition?
Genetic is inherited through
alleles from parents.
Chromsomal is due to an error in
meiosis that causes a change in the
number of chromosomes or the
structure of the chromosome.
What is this picture called and
what condition is it displaying?
A Karyotype.
Down Syndrome.

Provide 2 reasons in favour of
the Tim Hortons camp at
Meditation Lake and 2 reasons
against the camp
For
1.Provides a place for underprivileged youth in the
summer.
2.Will allow management of the lake ecosystem,
possibly encouraging improvement of water quality.
Against
1.Toxic algae blooms on the lake are a safety hazard.
2.Will affect the local ecosystem – garbage, loss of
habitat.
