Genetics

Having two of the same genes for the trait (TT, tt); Both dominant or both recessive.

• homozygous or purebred
• heterozygous or hybrid
• twin offspring
• pairs of chromosomes

Dominant alleles are represented by a:

• Male gene
• lowercase letter
• recessive trait
• capital letter

Two brown eyed parents (Bb) have a baby. What is the chance the baby is blue eyed?

• 0 %
• 25%
• 50%
• 75%

Which of the following is a phenotype?

• Aa
• red hair
• heterozygous genes
• mutated DNA

B=brown eyes
b= blue eyes
What is true about these two brothers that have brown eyes:
One has genotype BB the other Bb.

• they have same phenotype and genotype
• they have different genotypes and phenotypes
• they have same phenotype but different genotypes
• they have same genotype but different phenotypes

In a heterozygous genotype, the ___________ allele takes over in the phenotype.

• recessive
• dominant
• lower case letter
• both 

G = green, g = yellow
The genotype for a yellow plant is...

• GG
• Gg
• gg
• all of the choices result in yellow

What is the cause of some traits "skipping" a generation?

• dominant traits
• recessive traits
• mutations
• natural selection

How many alleles (letters) do each person carry for a trait?

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4

Aa, DD, Bb, yy are all examples of

• genotypes
• phenotypes
