What did Gregor Mendel study?

• Mold Spores

• Pea Plants

• Sun Flowers

• Rats

What was the theory of genetics before Mendel did his experiments.

• All traits were random

• All traits skipped a generation

• All traits were decided by God

• All traits were a mixing of the the parents traits

What specifically about Pea Plants did Mendel Study?

• Color of Pea Flower

• Colors of individual Peas

• Texture of Peas

• All of these

What did Mendel notice?

• Most pea flowers were tall, and some were purple.

• Most of the pea flowers were white, but a few were purple.

• Most of the pea flowers were purple, but a few were white.

• Most pea flowers were short, and some were white.

What was Mendel's first conclusion?

• Pea plants were inheriting a pair of genetic instructions from both parents.

• Pea plants were inheriting genetic instructions from their grandparents.

• Pea plants were inheriting genetic instructions only from their maternal parent.

• Pea plants were inheriting genetic instructions only from their paternal parent

What was Mendel's Second conclusion?

• The allele (factor) for purple flowers was stronger, or more dominant, than the white allele (factor)

• The allele (factor) for purple flowers were the same strength, equal dominance, to the white allele (factor)

• The allele (factor) for purple flowers was weaker, or more recessive, than the white allele (factor)

• The allele (factor) for white flowers was stronger, or more dominant, than the purple allele (factor)

Mendel crossed two hybrid yellow seeded plants (Yy) and using probability he discovered....

• All the new plants were yellow (Y) (100%) 4:4

• One of the new plants was green (yy) 25% 1:4

• None of the plants grew at all.

• All of the new plants were green (yy) 100% 4:4

A dominant gene is written on a Punnett Square as a:

• Capital letter (Y)

• Percentage (%)

• Lower case letter (y)

• A number (#)

A recessive trait is written on a Punnett Square as a:

• Capital letter (Y)

• A percentage (%)

• A lower case letter (y)

• A number (#)

DNA stands for
