Mendelian Genetics

2. pink flowers, wavy hair
3. a rare genetic disorder cause by the absence of an important enzyme
5. different variants or whatever number allele is
7. mechanism of evolution in which organisms that possess more advantageous traits for their environment are more “fit”
9. aka variant that can be dominant or recessive.
10. is used to identify relative positions of genes based on recombination frequencies
11. altering traits to prevent diseases and promote health via genetic targeting
14. this tool is used as a technique for studying genetic traits and contains a synthetic single-stranded DNA identical to the DNA of interest
15. Scientists are working on developing a single test that sequences an individual’s entire___ at once
16. Punnett squares are the visual representation of this mathematical concept
19. one of the principles that explains how every offsprings inherits only one allele per parent
20. mendelian genetics used to identify the patterns of these types of diseases such as sickle cell and cystic fibrosis

1. identifying genetic ____ tell us which genetic factors result in negative mutations and conditions or genetic factors that promote health
4. can be used to develop crops with traits like drought resistance and higher yields.
6. the second step in PCR
8. a rule that is used to calculate the probability that any of several mutually exclusive events will occur (think “or”)
12. uses chemical markers to label chromosomes of interest; also the general species of Nemo
13. orange and while spotted cats, AB blood type
17. famous for studying inheritance patterns using pea plants
18. the phase where when genes are located near each other on a chromosome, they are less likely to be separated during recombination
