LS3.A - inheritance of traits - Level 2 remediation

What are genes?

• Types of vegetables

• Segments of DNA that code for a particular trait

• Forms of the same trait

• Characteristics that can be passed from one generation to the next

Who is considered the father of genetics?

• Isaac Newton

• Gregor Mendel

• Charles Darwin

• Albert Einstein

What are alleles?

• Different forms of the same trait

• Types of flowers

• Recessive traits

• Dominant genes

What does a dominant allele do?

• It expresses a recessive trait

• It covers up or masks a recessive allele

• It is represented by a lowercase letter

• It is a portion of DNA

How many traits of pea plants did Gregor Mendel study?

• Three

• Five

• Ten

• Seven

What determines the type of trait that you will inherit?

• The two alleles you inherit

• The height of the plant

• The color of the flower

• The number of alleles inherited

What is the function of a recessive allele?

• It is represented by a capital letter

• It covers up or masks a dominant allele

• It expresses a dominant trait

• It must be inherited twice to express a trait

What is the PTC receptor coded by?

• A gene

• A protein

• A hormone

• An enzyme

What determines whether brussels sprouts taste bitter for some people?

• The color of the vegetable

• The shape of the vegetable

• The presence of a bitter chemical

• The size of the vegetable

What is the interaction between genes and alleles?

• They determine the height of a plant

• They code for the color of a flower

• They have no interaction

• They determine the type of trait inherited
