9. An allele that is hidden in heterozygous genotypes What is recessive? Return

10. Study of how alleles affect offspring What is genetics? Return

11. DAILY DOUBLE

12. Different forms of the same gene What are alleles? Return

13. Passing of traits from one generation to the next What is heredity? Return

14. A disease where thick mucus is produced in lungs and the digestive system What is cystic fibrosis? Return

15. The probability that a baby will be a boy What is 1/2? Return

16. Genetic engineering has already helped people this way. What is increasing our food supply? Return

17. Hemophilia results from an allele found here. What is on the X chromosome? Return

18. Sickle-cell anemia is an example of this. What is a homozygous recessive disorder? Return

19. Blood type inheritance is an example of this. What is multiple alleles? Return

20. A red 4 o’clock crossed with a white 4 o’clock to produce a pink 4 o’clock is an example of this. What is incomplete dominance? Return

21. The combination of Tt represents a ____ genotype. What is heterozygous? Return

22. In a Punnett square, a capital letter (T) stands for this kind of allele. What is dominant? Return

23. He is considered to be the father of genetics. Who is Mendel? Return

24. A person who does not have the disorder but has a normal gene paired with a gene for the disorder is called this. What is a carrier? Return

25. Hair color in humans is inherited this way. What is polygenic inheritance? Return

26. If a father is a hemophiliac, why do none of his sons have it? The father passes the Y onto his sons which doesn’t contain the gene for hemophilia. Return

27. The genotype for a half-filled circle in a pedigree showing hemophilia What is XHXh? Return

28. The phenotype of a person with genotype XHXh if H=normal blood clotting and h=hemophilia What is a normal blood clotter? Return

29. FINAL JEOPARDY Sex-Linked Trait ?

30. This is why sex-linked conditions show up more in males than in females. A female needs 2 of the recessive genes to have the condition while the males need just one because the gene is carried on the X chromosome but not the Y.

31. The genotype of a person represented by an empty square on a pedigree to track hemophila What is XHY?

32. The phenotype of a person with genotype XHY for the trait of hemophilia What is a normal clotter?

33. The probability of a person represented by an empty circle on a pedigree passing on the hemophilia trait What is 0%?

34. The probability in percent of a person represented by a filled-in square on a pedigree passing on the hemophilia trait What is 50%?

35. The probability in percent of a person represented as a half-filled circle on a pedigree passing on the hemophilia trait What is 50%?
