genetic information is passed from parent to offspring by using the terms genes, chromosomes, inherited traits, genotype, phenotype, dominant traits, and recessive traits.

Offspring inherit genetic traits from their parents. These traits are passed on to the offspring in the genetic material from each parent. Many genes that cause these traits
have dominant and recessive forms.
– Under what conditions does an individual express a dominant trait from its parents?
– Under what conditions does an individual express a recessive trait from its parents?
Bell ringer
Heredity 1. Offspring (new organisms or
babies) may have the same physical characteristics, or traits, as their parents because genetic information (DNA) is passed from parent to offspring during sexual reproduction.
Chromosomes2. Each sex cell (egg or
sperm) of the parent organism (plant or animal) contains one-half of the genetic material needed to create a new organism.
3. Heredity is the passing of traits from one generation to another, or inheritance.
4. A structure found in the nucleus of a cell that contains the genetic information (DNA).
Genes are… 5. A segment of DNA found on a
chromosome that determines the inheritance of a particular trait.
6. Genes are responsible for the inherited characteristics that distinguish (separate) one individual from another.
7. Genes for a specific trait generally come in pairs.
8. One gene from the pair is called an allele.
9. Genes may be expressed in two different forms. A. Genotype—the set
of genes carried by the organism. What we have
B. Phenotype—the physical expression of the genes. What we see
Inherited Traits Characteristics that are passed from parent to
offspring. Examples of inherited traits may be eye color, eye shape, hair type, or face shape.
Some inherited traits are dominant and some are recessive. Dominant trait – A trait that will always be expressed
in the phenotype. Alleles for dominant traits are represented by capital letters.
Recessive trait – A trait that will only be expressed in the phenotype if two recessive alleles are present. In the presence of a dominant trait, the recessive trait will not be expressed. Alleles for recessive traits are represented by lowercase letters.
Sexual Reproduction and DNA Each sex cell (egg or sperm) of the
parent organism (plant or animal) contains one-half of the genetic material needed to create a new organism.
Heredity is the passing of traits from one generation to another, or inheritance.
Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell that contains the genetic information (DNA).

Notes 1. DNA is in chromosomes inside of the nucleus.2. The nucleus is the control center of the cell.3. DNA has all of the genetic information.4. DNA has the code for all genetic information.5. Genetic traits are physical characteristics
that are passed from parent to offspring. 6. Sexual reproduction means ½ of the
information came from each parent. 7. Sex cells (f=egg cell, m= sperm cell) each
contain ½ of the genetic information . It is combined to produce the offspring.
8. The chromosome segments that control each trait are called genes.
9 Some traits are controlled by more than 1 gene.
10. Genes for traits come in pairs.11. Each ½ of the gene pair is called an
allele. 12. Genes may be expressed in 2 different
forms. A. genotype—set of genes that you carryB. Phenotype– the expression of genes (the
traits that you see.)
13. Examples of inherited traits may be eye color, eye shape, hair type, or face shape.
14. Some inherited traits are dominant and some are recessive.A. Dominant trait – A trait that will always be
expressed in the phenotype. Alleles for dominant traits are represented by capital letters.
B. Recessive trait – A trait that will only be expressed in the phenotype if two recessive alleles are present. In the presence of a dominant trait, the recessive trait will not be expressed. Alleles for recessive traits are represented by lowercase letters.

Punnett Squares15. In a Punnett square, the top of the
table shows the alleles provided by one parent.
16. The alleles for the other parent are placed along the left side of the table.
17. One allele from each parent is placed in the individual squares, forming a new gene pair.
18. The individual squares show the possibilities of allele pairs (genotypes) in the offspring.
19. If the two alleles are the same (TT or tt), the genotype is considered purebred. If the two alleles are different (Tt), the genotype is considered hybrid.
20. This example shows the inheritance of a single characteristic (height). A cross that shows the inheritance of a single characteristic is known as a monohybrid cross.
