Genetics

Two identical alleles for a trait is known as

• homozygous

• heterozygous

• mutation

• codominance

A physical appearance is

• genotype

• heterozygous

• phenotype

• codominance

What does Pp mean?

• two dominant alleles

• heterozygous alleles

• one dominant allele

• two dominant and recessive alleles

What is the probability of producing a tall pea plant from a cross between two hybrid tall pea plants?

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

A purebred horse with white hair is crossed with a purebred horse with brown hair. Each of their offspring has both white and brown hair. Why does this occur?

• several alleles work together to determine a trait

• two alleles for hair are dominant

• two alleles for hair are recessive

• the alleles for fur color are neither dominant or recessive

What does a Punnett Square determine?

• all of Mendel's discoveries about genetic crosses

• all the outcomes of a genetic cross

• only the recessive allele combinations

• only the dominant allele combinations

Genotype is

• stem height

• feather color

• physical appearance

• genetic makeup

The term that relates to physical characteristics that are studied in genetics.

• traits

• offspring

• generations

• hybrids

Factors that control traits are

• purebreds

• genes

• recessives

• parents

Scientists call an organism with two different alleles for a trait

• factor

• purebred

• trait

• hybrid
