Meiosis and Mendelian Genetics

What is the result of Meiosis?

• 4 genetically identical cells

• 2 genetically identical cells

• 2 genetically different cells

• 4 genetically different cells

What is the best way to describe a gamete (which is a haploid)?

• skin cell with full genetic information

• sex cell with full genetic information

• sex cell with half of the genetic information

• a skin cell with half of the genetic information

Which type of inheritance is seen when both alleles are expressed?

• Recessive

• Dominant

• Codominant

• Incomplete Dominance

Which type of inheritance is seen when a blend of both alleles is seen?

• Recessive

• Dominant

• Codominant

• Incomplete Dominance

In which model do we see semiconservative replication taking place?

• Figure A

• Figure B

• Figure C

• Figure D

Mitosis is to body cells as

• Meiosis is to sex cells

• Meiosis is to gametes

• Meiosis is to body cells

• Mitosis is to body cells

In certain rats, black fur is dominant over white fur. If two rats that are both heterozygous for fur color are mated, what would their offspring be expected to have?

• four different genotypes and two different colors

• three different genotypes and two different colors

• two different genotypes and three different colors

• three different genotypes and three different colors

If two organisms reproduce sexually, then their offspring will exhibit a genetic make-up that is:

• Identical to only 1 parent

• Identical to all of its siblings

• A unique combination of traits

• The recessive traits of each parent

In pea plants, green is dominant to yellow. A green pea plant (Gg) is crossed with a yellow pea plant (gg). What are all the possible genotypes that result from this set of parents?

• GG, Gg, gg

• Gg, gg

• Gg

• gg
