Unit 3: Heredity and Reproduction Summative Review

Who is the Austrian monk known as the "Father of Genetics"?

• Robert Hooke

• Gregor Mendel

• Anton Van Leuwenhoek

• Isaac Newton

The physical appearance of a trait is called:

• Allele

• Phenotype

• Punnett Square

• Genotype

The hidden or masked allele, one that is less likely to occur is:

• Recessive

• Dominant

• Genotype

• Phenotype

The genetic makeup (represented by letters) of an organism is its:

• Phenotype

• Homozygous

• Genotype

• Punnett Square

The allele that shows up over another one is the:

• Recessive

• Phenotype

• Genotype

• Dominate

A genotype with two different alleles would be:

• Phenotype

• Heterozygous

• Homozygous

• Genotype

Which characteristic is true of sexual reproduction but not of asexual reproduction?

• Sexual reproduction produces new individuals.

• Sexual reproduction produces diverse offspring.

• Sexual reproduction involves a form of cell division.

• Sexual reproduction involves one or more parents.

• use the seeds from plants that have the most desirable traits.

What is the source of genetic material in organisms that reproduce sexually?

• Male offspring get genetic material from the father, female offspring from the mother.

• All genetic material comes from the father.

• Half of the genetic material comes from the father, half of the genetic material from the mothehr.

• All the genetic material comes from the mother.
