A monohybrid cross can be best described as

a cross among one pair of contrasting traits.

a cross among two pairs of contrasting traits.

a cross to test if an individual carries one or two dominant alleles.

In order to ensure that your answer for #13 was guaranteed, Mendel would often perform a(n) ________, which can be best described as _________.

test cross; breeding an unknown genotype to a homozygous recessive individual

analysis; breeding an unknown genotype to a heterozygous individual

test cross; breeding an unknown genotype to a homozygous dominant individual

analysis; self-fertilizing the individual and analyzing the offspring

Because the gene for red-green colorblindness is located on the X chromosome, it is not possible for

a colorblind father to pass the gene onto his son.

a carrier mother to pass the gene on to daughter.

a carrier mother to pass the gene on to her son.

a colorblind father to pass the gene onto his daughter.

In humans, freckles are encoded by a dominant allele. An individual woman is heterozygous for freckles. According to the law of segregation, which of the following would apply to a child of this woman?

The child has an equal chance of inheriting the dominant allele or the recessive allele for freckles from her mother.

The child must inherit the dominant allele for freckles.

The child must inherit the recessive allele for freckles.

The child has a greater chance of inheriting the dominant allele than the recessive allele for freckles from her mother.

There was a mix up at the nursery between two families, the Pages and the Bakers. You must determine which baby belongs to the correct family based on their blood types.

Baby 1 belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Page. Baby 2 belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Baker.

Baby 1 belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Baker. Baby 2 belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Page.

People who are tune deaf are unable to follow a rhythm. Scientists have evidence that tune deafness can be genetic. The pedigree below traces the inheritance of tune deafness in a family. Individuals in the pedigree are numbered. Scientists have analyzed the inheritance patterns for tune deafness and have concluded that tune deafness is caused by an autosomal dominant allele, T. Which piece of evidence supports the statement that tune deafness is autosomal dominant, not autosomal recessive.

It does skip generations and two affected parents have unaffected children.

It does not skip any generations and two unaffected parents have affected children.

It does skip generations and two unaffected parents have affected children.
