A genotype is defined as:
symbolic representation of a pair of alleles
the expressed traits (physical characteristics)
the variant form of a gene
the type of gene most likely to be expressed
A rats hair colour is an example of a
genotype
phenotype
Tt, TT and tt are examples of
Phenotypes
Genotypes
The genotype Gg is
heterozygous
homozygous dominant
homozygous recessive
The genotype aa is
heterozygous
homozygous dominant
homozygous recessive
Hair colour is an example of an
allele
dominant
recessive
punnet square
B = brown hair, b = white hair. A homozygous recessive male mouse is crossed with a heterozygous female brown mouse. Determine the ratio of offspring with brown hair to white hair
1 brown to 3 white
2 brown to 2 white
3 brown to 1 white
4 brown to no white
The P1 generation is the
first generation
second generation
third generation
parental generation
B = brown eyes, b = blue eyes. If a brown eyed man whose mother had blue eyes marries a brown-eyed woman whose mother also had blue eyes, what ratio of their children would have brown eyes to blue eyes?
1 brown to 3 blue
2 brown to 2 blue
3 brown to 1 blue
4 brown to no blue
Brown is dominant to green. What is the probability of these parents having green offspring?
1/4
2/4
3/4
4/4
A red bull is crossed with a white cow, and produces a calf that has both white hair and red hair expressed at the same time. This is an example of:
Incomplete dominance
Codominance
A red flower is crossed with a white flower and produces a pink flower. This is an example of:
Incomplete dominance
Codominance
In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codiminance. The allele for black is B and the allele for white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette. If two erminette chickens were crossed, what percentage of the chicks would be black?
0%
25%
50%
75%
In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. Females can be normal, have the disease, or be carriers. Males will either have the disease or not (never carriers). A man who has hemophilia marries a woman who is a carrier. What percentage of their children will have the disease?
0%
25%
50%
75%
In a pedigree, the square represents a:
male
female
twin
non-disclosed
A horizontal line between a male and a female on a pedigree chart represents:
siblings
marriage
twins
This is an example of:
autosomal recessive
autosomal sex-linked
sex-linked dominant
sex-linked recessive
