Fundamentals of Genetics: Video Quiz

The video tutorial covers the basics of genetics, including the inheritance of traits from parents to offspring, the concept of dominant and recessive traits, and how each parent contributes genes to their offspring. It explains visible characteristics of organisms, the term for two unlike genes, and illustrates possible gene combinations in offspring. The tutorial also discusses heterozygous organisms, the actual genes for a trait, and the probability of producing certain traits in a hybrid cross.

What is the process called when traits are passed from parents to their children?

• Heredity

• Evolution

• Adaptation

• Mutation

Which type of trait can hide the presence of a recessive trait?

• Dominant trait

• Co-dominant trait

• Recessive trait

• Neutral trait

How are dominant traits typically represented in genetics?

• By an uppercase letter

• By a lowercase letter

• By a number

• By a symbol

What term is used to describe an organism with two different genes for a trait?

• Monozygous

• Homozygous

• Polyzygous

• Heterozygous

In a genetic cross where 'T' is dominant and 't' is recessive, what is the probability of producing a short pea plant?

• 50%

• 75%

• 25%

• 0%
