Advance Biology Exam #3 Review

Suppose that in sheep, a dominant allele (B) produce black hair and a recessive allele (b) produce white hair. If you saw a black sheep, you would be able to identify

• its phenotype for hair color
• its genotype for hair color
• the genotype of only one of its parents
• the phenotype of both of its parents

One of the main reasons genes assort independent of one another  is that 

• they produce unrelated traits
• they produce related traits
• they are on the same chromosome
• they are on different chromosomes.

In peas, the trait for tall plants is dominant (T) and the trait for short plants is recessive (t).  The trait for yellow seeds is dominant (Y) and the trait for green seeds is recessive (y).
A cross between two plants results in 292 tall, yellow plants and 103 short, green plants.  What are the most likely genotypes of the parents?

• TtYY x Ttyy
• TTYy x TTYy
• TTyy x TTYy
• TtYy x TtYy
