Question
Answer
show Because both parents may carry the recessive blue eyes gene; the gene does not show in the parents because they also have the brown eye gene.  
🗑
Explain why 100% of babies from a HOMOZYGOUS brown eye parent will have brown eyes   show
🗑
show Parents each have Ee genotypes: their gametes are either "E" or "e"; The genotypes of the babies will be EE; Ee; Ee and ee. Only the "ee" baby has blue eyes  
🗑
Name the curve that looks like a bell   show
🗑
show Eye colour; ability to roll tongue  
🗑
show Finches and Fossil record  
🗑
Explain why the evidence from fossil record is not so good   show
🗑
show The variety of plants and animals  
🗑
show Differences in features of living organisms. For example: eye colour, height, etc...  
🗑
show A diagram that contains a set of questions. It can be used to name a living organism  
🗑
show A variation like weight or height that can be measured with a (decimal) number  
🗑
Discontinuous Variation   show
🗑
Acquired characteristic   show
🗑
show A feature that allows an organism to survive better in its environment.  
🗑
show Differences in features of living organisms that are caused by genes.  
🗑
show Formation of a new species.  
🗑
Habitat   show
🗑
show places deep under sea where water is heated by magma and where hot gases come out.  
🗑
Normal distribution curve   show
🗑
show A feature of an organism  
🗑
Survival of the fittest   show
🗑
show When organism "fight" for the same resource: water, food, shelter  
🗑
Evolution   show
🗑
Extinction   show
🗑
Allele   show
🗑
show A long thread of DNA.  
🗑
Cytoplasm   show
🗑
show Part of the DNA that codes for a protein (ie it contains the instructions on how to make the protein).  
🗑
show The chemical that makes up chromosomes. A double helix.  
🗑
Inherited variation   show
🗑
show part of the cell where the chromosomes are kept.  
🗑
show Thin layer around the cell that controls what goes in and out of the cell.  
🗑
show The allele that will always "show" (unless there are two recessive alleles). It is represented by a CAPITAL letter.  
🗑
Gamete   show
🗑
Genetic cross diagram   show
🗑
Genotype   show
🗑
show When an organism carries two alleles that are different. For example Bb.  
🗑
Homozygous   show
🗑
Phenotype   show
🗑
show Male plant sex cell  
🗑
Recessive   show
🗑
show How likely it is to happen. Can be expressed as a ratio or as a percentage.  
🗑
show Diagram in the form of a table to show how the alleles of parents combine to make different offsprings.  
🗑
show Genetic disorder where excess mucus is produced.  
🗑
Genetic disorder   show
🗑
show A diagram that shows the genes of members of a family.  
🗑
Sickle cell disease   show
🗑
show When an organism has a both a recessive allele and a dominant one. The organism is not showing any sign of disease itself.  
🗑
show A disease carried by mosquitoe and caused by a protist.  
🗑
Give an example of when two species become separate. Explain how this comes about.   show
🗑
Give the symptoms of Malaria   show
🗑
Describe the symptoms of Sickle Cell Anaemia   show
🗑
Explain why sufferers of Sickle Cell disease are often short of breath.   show
🗑

🗑
Describe the theory of evolution   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
