Which of the following statements are true about alleles and genes?

Alleles are found on chromosomes and control traits.

Genes have two forms called alleles: dominant and recessive.

Dominant alleles are represented by a capital letter and recessive by a lowercase letter.

Alleles are always identical for a given gene.

Describe how genotype and phenotype are related, using the flower example from the image on the previous slide.

The genotype influences the phenotype, which is the visible trait of the flower.

The flower's color is solely based on environmental factors.

Genotype and phenotype are unrelated in flower traits.

The phenotype determines the genotype of the flower.

What is the difference between homozygous and heterozygous genotypes?

Homozygous has two identical alleles, heterozygous has two different alleles.

Homozygous has two different alleles, heterozygous has two identical alleles.

Homozygous always results in a dominant trait, heterozygous always results in a recessive trait.

Homozygous is only found in animals, heterozygous is only found in plants.

Which steps are involved in solving a punnet square?

Determine genotypes, set up Punnett Square, fill in grid, use boxes to determine genotypes and phenotypes

Set up Punnett Square, fill in grid, use boxes to determine genotypes and phenotypes

Select all correct statements about the inheritance of dominant and recessive traits as shown in the Punnett squares for tongue rolling, earlobe attachment, and cleft chin.

Dominant traits can be expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous genotypes.

Recessive traits are only expressed in homozygous genotypes.

Heterozygous parents can produce offspring with both dominant and recessive traits.

Crossing two homozygous parents always results in 100% offspring with the dominant trait.

Why is Gregor Mendel considered the 'Father of Genetics' and what is the significance of his Laws of Heredity in understanding how traits are inherited?

Gregor Mendel is considered the 'Father of Genetics' due to his pioneering work on the Laws of Heredity, which are significant for understanding trait inheritance.

The significance of his work lies in its application to modern medicine, not heredity.

Mendel is known for his work on plant biology, which has no relation to genetics.

His theories were based on animal breeding, not plant inheritance.

Who is known as the 'Father of Genetics' and what organism did he use to investigate the inheritance of traits?

Charles Darwin and finches

Gregor Mendel and pea plants

James Watson and fruit flies

Rosalind Franklin and mice
