• Gregor Mendel

• Albert Einstein

• Robert Frost

• Charles Darwin

Multiple Choice

Who is Gregor Mendel

• an Austrian Monk from the mid 1800s who contributed to the study of Genetics

• The scientist who discovered the structure of DNA

• a British scientist who discovered penicillin

• The scientist who used X-Ray Crystallography to shed light on the structure of DNA

Multiple Choice

What did Gregor Mendel study?

• Mold Spores

• Pea Plants

• Sun Flowers

• Rats

Multiple Choice

The passing of genetic traits from parents to offspring:

• geneology

• heredity

• cellology

• physiology

Multiple Choice

A version of a gene

• variation

• mutation

• allele

• genotype

Multiple Choice

Mendel's Law of Segregation means?

• Every person has two alleles for each trait, they segregate from each other and the dominant is passed more often.

• Every person has two alleles for each trait, Where two traits are being passed, they do not effect each other.

• Every person has two alleles for each trait, they segregate from each other and are passed down at random.

• Every person has two alleles for each trait, they segregate from each other and the recessive is passed more often.

Multiple Choice

What is Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment?

• If the recessive allele is passed for one trait, then it is more likely that the recessive allele will be passed for the other trait.

• The passing of allele of one trait does not affect the passing of allele of another trait.

• If the dominant allele is passed for one trait, then it is more likely that the dominant allele will be passed for the other trait.

• If the dominant allele is passed for one trait, then it is more likely that the recessive allele will be passed for the other trait.

Multiple Choice

• homozygous

• genotype
