Gregor Mendel Genetics Lessons

What did Gregor Mendel use to discover the principles that rule heredity?

• Pea Plant
• Pigeons
• Pear trees
• Photosynthesis

What happened to the green trait in Mendel's pea plants?

• It disappeared, further proving Darwin's theory of evolution
• The pea plants produced 50% less green seeds
• It was hidden by the dominant yellow gene
• Nothing happened to the green gene
  

What did Mendel call the two kinds of traits exhibited by the pea plants (one coming from the father, one from the mother)?

• Genesis
• Elective traits
• Alleles
• Quadrants

What do we call the result of the genotype (for example, the color of the peas)?

• Visible traits
• Physiotrait
• Genotype 2
• Phenotype

What do we call the table used to calculate the probability of an offspring's genotype?

• Punnett square
• Venn diagram
• Golden ratio
• Fibonacci sequence

This phenotype is more likely to be prominent in offspring

• Phenotype
• Dominant genotype
• Recessive Phenotype
• monotypes

This type of phenotype is less likely to be prominent in offspring

• Dominant genotype
• Recessive genotype
• Dominant phenotype
• Recessive phenotype
