Study Notes
Study Notes
- Students should know how to complete Punnett squares, including genotype, phenotype, and probability.
- Students should know how to complete pedigrees, including 2 or 3 generations, proper shading, and labeling.
- When flipping a coin, the probability of it landing on tails is 50%.
- Gregor Mendel's contributions to genetics include his study of genetics in organisms.
- Gregor Mendel's principles of genetics apply to all organisms.
- All organisms have chromosomes that determine sex: females have XX, males have XY. Egg cells carry an X chromosome, and sperm cells carry either an X or Y chromosome.
- Genetic disorders can be dominant, recessive, or sex-linked.
- Examples of genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, and albinism, Huntington's disease, Achondroplasia (a form of dwarfism), Hemophilia (X-linked recessive), and color blindness.

Description
This quiz covers key concepts in genetics, focusing on Punnett squares, pedigrees, and genetic disorders. Students will explore Gregor Mendel's contributions and the principles of inheritance that apply to all organisms. Knowledge of probabilities and sex determination in chromosomes will also be tested.
