In pea plants, round seeds are dominant to wrinkled seeds. What would the phenotype be for a plant with the following genotype: Rr?
Round
Wrinkled
Mostly round with a few wrinkles
When an individual makes eggs or sperm (gametes) the alleles that individual carries for a trait are separated from each other. This statement describes Mendel's law of...
segregation
independent assortment
codominance
sex-linked traits
An individual with the sex chromosomes XX will be _________ and an individual with the sex chromosomes XY will be ________.
male; female
female; male
A gene that affects whisker length in seals has two alleles. The allele for short whiskers (S) is dominant to the allele for long whiskers (s). A cross of two heterozygous short-whiskered seals produces six short-whiskered and two long-whiskered offspring. How can the long-whiskered phenotype appear in the offspring of two short-whiskered seals?
Only recessive alleles are inherited from homozygous parents.
Dominant alleles grow weaker as they are passed from parents to offspring.
Only the parent with a dominant allele can pass that allele to offspring in sexual reproduction.
A heterozygous parent has an equal chance of passing either the dominant allele or the recessive allele to offspring.
Mendel's Law of Segregation states...
Individual traits are inherited independently of one another.
Dominant traits are always separated from recessive traits during reproduction.
The individual alleles that make up a gene must separate when forming gametes.
Breeding two true breeding individuals together always produces offspring with a recessive phenotype.
The pedigree shows the inheritance of color-blindness, a sex-linked recessive disorder.
If individual 3 is a carrier and marries a man with normal color vision, what is the chance their SON is color blind?
0%
25%
50%
100%
In owls eye color is a sex linked trait where yellow eyes are dominant to the orange eye phenotype. If a yellow eyed male is crossed with a female who carries the orange eye gene, what is likelihood of having an offspring with orange eyes?

The coloring of the snakes in the photo can vary: they can be beautifully marked with dark cross bands on a brown and yellow ground color or completely brown or black. Their color is specifically controlled by 4 genes with more dominant alleles creating more banding and more recessive alleles creating a more solid scale color.
In heavily-vegetated wetlands solid colored individuals are more difficult for predators to locate. Which genotype below would be most successful at camouflage in the heavily-vegetated wetlands?
AaBbCcDd
AABBccDd
AabbccDd
aaBBccDd
In some horses the genes for brown hair and for white hair are codominant. The codominant condition gives the horses a reddish color, and is referred to as roan. If a roan stallion is bred with a white mare, what is the probability of them having a roan offspring?

In snapdragon flowers petal coloration is incompletely dominant with petals either being red, white, or pink. If two plants are bred creating several hundred offspring all of which are pink what would be the most likely phenotypes of the parent plants?
Both are pink
Both are white
One is red one is pink
One is red one is white
Brown (B) is dominant over white (b). Which genotype is a purebred for brown fur?
BB
Bb

For pea plants, purple flowers are dominant to white flowers. A botanist crosses two pure breeding pea plants, one with purple flowers and one with white flowers, then use those offspring to produce a F2 generation. What would be the genotypic ratio for seed color in the F2 generation?
3 homozygous dominant : 0 heterozygous : 1 homozygous recessive
1 homozygous dominant : 2 heterozygous : 1 homozygous recessive
0 homozygous dominant : 4 heterozygous : 0 homozygous recessive
0 homozygous dominant : 3 heterozygous : 1 homozygous recessive
In pea plants, yellow seeds (Y) are dominant green seeds (y) and green pods (G) are dominant to yellow pods (g). Based of the punnett square, what is the probability of producing a pea plant with green seeds in a yellow pod?
