- 1. Multiple Choice
Before Mendel how did people think you got your traits
equal blending from each parent
more from the dad
more from the mom
from a stork
- 2. Multiple Choice
If you cross two heterozygous traits (Rr x Rr), what ratio will you get between offspring with the dominant and recessive phenotypes
1:1
2:1
3:1
4:1
- 3. Multiple ChoiceMendel concluded that traits arenot inherited by offspringinherited by the passing of factors from parents to offspringdetermined by dominant factors onlydetermined by recessive factors only
- 4. Multiple ChoiceWhen Mendel crossed true-breeding tall plants with true-breeding short plants, all the offspring were tall becausethe allele for tall plants is recessive.the allele for short plants is dominant.the allele for tall plants is dominant.they were true-breeding like their parents.
- 5. Multiple ChoiceIn the P generation, a tall plant was crossed with a short plant. Short plants reappeared in the F2 generation becausesome of the F2 plants produced gametes that carried the allele for shortness.the allele for shortness is dominantthe allele for shortness and the allele for tallness segregated when the F1 plants produced gametes.they inherited an allele for shortness from one parent and an allele for tallness from the other parent.
- 6. Multiple ChoiceA Punnett square shows all of the following EXCEPTall possible results of a genetic cross.the genotypes of the offspring.the alleles in the gametes of each parent.the actual results of a genetic cross.
- 7. Multiple ChoiceA pea plant that has two different alleles for the same trait is said to be ____________________.PheterozygousTtF2
- 8. Multiple ChoiceAn organism’s gametes have ____________________ the number of chromosomes found in the organism’s body cells.half23twice4
- 9. Multiple ChoiceHow many recessive alleles for a trait must an organism inherit in order to show that trait?2140
- 10. Multiple Choice

- 12. Multiple Choice
A roan cow shows co-dominance in fur color (red and white). What is the phenotype ratio expected if a roan cow and a roan steer mate together?
4/4 Red and White
2/4 Red, 2/4 White
2/4 Red, 2/4 Roan, 0/4 White
1/4 Red, 2/4 Roan, 1/4 White
- 13. Multiple ChoiceDoes this pedigree show a dominant or recessive trait?DominantRecessive
- 14. Multiple Choice
XB = Normal vision allele
Xb = color blind allele
Complete a Punnett square showing the cross of a heterozygous (carrier) female and a colorblind male. Which percentage of children would be predicted to be colorblind?
25%
50%
0%
100%
- 15. Multiple Choice
Hemophilia (X-linked)
XH = Normal clotting
Xh = hemophilia
Explain how you know the genotype of the father if a woman has hemophilia.
If a woman is hemophilic, she has two recessive alleles on her X chromosomes. Since her father only has one to give, he must have the recessive allele and therefore be hemophilic (he only has one X chromosome).
If a woman is hemophilic, she has two recessive alleles on her X chromosomes. Since her father only has one to give, he must have the dominant allele and therefore be hemophilic.
If a woman is hemophilic, she has one recessive allele on her X chromosomes. Since her father only has one to give, he must have the recessive allele and therefore be hemophilic (he has two X chromosomes).
- 16. Multiple Choice

- 22. Multiple ChoiceIs this trait (the shaded individuals) dominant or recessive?dominantrecessive
- 23. Multiple ChoiceGive the genotype for person II-1, for this autosomal trait.GGGgggwe cannot be 100% sure of the genotype
- 24. Multiple Choice
Individuals that are shaded in have premature hair whitening. Is this trait dominant or recessive? How do you know?
Dominant because it skips generations
Dominant because it is present in every generation
Recessive because it skips generations
Recessive because it is present in every generation.
