‘The Father of Genetics’ didn’t know about DNA or Chromosomes, yet he predicted the outcome of what process that we just learned? 

• Mitosis
• Photosynthesis
• Meiosis
• Cellular Respiration

1.  ‘The Father’ was very smart and he came up with three hypothesis that later became scientific laws. The first law shows that some alleles can hide other alleles.  When making this law, he recognized that two alleles were present (genius that he was) and that one disappeared for a generation and then reappeared in the next.  This law is 

• Independent Assortment
• Dominance and Recessiveness
• Segregation

1.  The Father’ was very smart and he came up with three hypothesis that later became scientific laws. The idea of the second law was that we have two alleles that determine a trait and these get separated when making sex cells or gametes.  Name the Law:__________________________. Also, what is the ‘key word’ that helps you remember what this law is about (it should always be in the definition)? 

• Independent Assortment, individually
• Dominance and Recessiveness, always shows
• Segregation, separated

1.  ‘The Father’ was very smart and he came up with three hypothesis that later became scientific laws.
The third law was created when he examined the statistics of two traits at a time.  He noticed that they could be arranged in any combination, suggesting that each allele can be passed on independent of  alleles for other traits.  The name of this law is 

• Independent Assortment
• Dominance
• Segregation

If R represents a red allele for flower petals and r represents a white allele and they found together in a plant...

• Rr is the genotype
• Rr is the phenotype

If R represents a red allele for flower petals and r represents a white allele and they found together in a plant...

• Red would be the genotype
• Red would be the phenotype

 Farmer Peggy Sue decides to go into geraniums.  She has a gorgeous geranium plant that she wants to breed to build her geranium empire.  The breed of geranium she owns has the following genotypes and phenotypes.  RR – red  Rr – red  rr- white What is the test called that she needs to do to figure out her plants genotype?

• monohybrid
• test cross
• dihybrid
