Question

match these genetic terms to the best definition provided.

the version of a trait existing in the wild or the
ormal\ or non - mutated version of the trait.

a phenotype that is only expressed in homozygous recessive individuals.

a phenotype that is expressed in both homozygous dominant individuals and an heterozygotes.

the offspring produced by crossing two f1 individuals.

another term that when used in genetics can mean \heterozygous\

a phenotype that differs from the normal phenotype

having two different alleles for a trait.

the first generation of offspring produced by a set of parents (often the original parents were true breeding).

having two copies of the same allele for a trait.

the expression of a trait based on both the alleles an individual possesses, and the environment.

1. genotype
2. phenotype
3. wildtype trait
4. mutant trait
5. f1
6. f2
7. dominant trait
8. recessive trait
9. hybrid
10. homozygous
11. heterozygous

Explanation:

• Wildtype trait: The version of a trait existing in the wild or the "normal" or non - mutated version of the trait.
• Recessive trait: A phenotype that is only expressed in homozygous recessive individuals.
• Dominant trait: A phenotype that is expressed in both homozygous dominant individuals and heterozygotes.
• F2: The offspring produced by crossing two F1 individuals.
• Hybrid: Another term that when used in genetics can mean "heterozygous".
• Mutant trait: A phenotype that differs from the normal phenotype.
• Heterozygous: Having two different alleles for a trait.
• F1: The first generation of offspring produced by a set of parents (often the original parents were true breeding).
• Homozygous: Having two copies of the same allele for a trait.
• Phenotype: The expression of a trait based on both the alleles an individual possesses, and the environment.
• Genotype: Not directly matched in the given descriptions (but is the genetic makeup of an organism).

Answer:

1. Genotype - Not directly matched in the given descriptions (but is the genetic makeup of an organism).
2. Phenotype - The expression of a trait based on both the alleles an individual possesses, and the environment.
3. Wildtype trait - The version of a trait existing in the wild or the "normal" or non - mutated version of the trait.
4. Mutant trait - A phenotype that differs from the normal phenotype.
5. F1 - The first generation of offspring produced by a set of parents (often the original parents were true breeding).
6. F2 - The offspring produced by crossing two F1 individuals.
7. Dominant trait - A phenotype that is expressed in both homozygous dominant individuals and heterozygotes.
8. Recessive trait - A phenotype that is only expressed in homozygous recessive individuals.
9. Hybrid - Another term that when used in genetics can mean "heterozygous".
10. Homozygous - Having two copies of the same allele for a trait.
11. Heterozygous - Having two different alleles for a trait.
