  7. What is a genotype? • Is the name of the genes an organism has.

  8. When do dominate or recessive genes show up? • Dominant traits are expressed even if only one copy of the allele codes for them. (Dd) If a trait is recessive, it is expressed only if both alleles code for it (dd).

  9. What is it called when a gamete for each parent combines to form a new cell? • Sexual reproduction

  10. If an allele is expressed at Dd is it dominate or recessive? • dominate

  11. What does a Punnet Square show? • It is a representation of how alleles might combine

  12. What are the chances that a human offspring will have an XY genotype? • 50% or a ratio of 1:2

  13. How many chromosomes do you have? • 46

  14. If a 2n human cell has 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes does a male gamate have? • 23

  15. My holiday gift to you… • No, not an ipod • No, not a iphone • Yes, a take home test!
