GR8 SCI Q4L1 Presentation - Genetics Patterns of Inheritance

Open Ended

In pea plants, the flowers can be purple or white. The diagram shows three generations of pea plant crosses.

Part A: Using the pea flower color cross, identify the pattern of inheritance shown and explain how the cross shows this pattern.

Part B: Explain how farmers could ensure that they only grow white flowers.

Multiple Choice

What are the main components of DNA as shown in the image?

• Nucleotides

• Chromosomes

• Genes

• Cells

Multiple Choice

What does it mean if an organism is heterozygous for a trait?

• It has two identical alleles for a trait

• It has two different alleles for a trait

• It expresses only the dominant trait

• It cannot express the trait

Multiple Choice

What is the phenotype of the offspring? (A-Brown hair; a-blond hair) 

Your answer should include the percentage (%) for each phenotype.

Multiple Choice

How does incomplete dominance differ from codominance?

• Incomplete dominance results in a blended phenotype, while codominance results in both phenotypes being fully expressed.

• Incomplete dominance results in both phenotypes being fully expressed, while codominance results in a blended phenotype.

• Incomplete dominance involves only one allele, while codominance involves two alleles.

• Incomplete dominance occurs only in plants, while codominance occurs only in animals.

Multiple Choice

Term for an organism that display two dominant phenotypes at the same time

• codominance
• incomplete dominance
• multiple alleles
• linked genes

Proteins do most of the work inside the cell. The work of the proteins causes the development of different genetic traits in organisms, so why is DNA important for genetic traits?
