What is fertilization?

a)

Male and female reproductive cells join

b)

The inheritance of traits

c)

Adding manure to the ground

d)

Self pollinating flowers

2.

True breeding or cross pollinating?

a)

True breeding

b)

Cross pollinating

3.

Why did Mendel cut off one of the reproductive parts of each flower?

a)

Because there weren't enough bees in the garden

b)

Because he wanted the offspring to have the traits from just one flower

c)

To force the flowers to cross pollinate

d)

Because he didn't know how flowers reproduce

4.

What is the difference between hybrid pea plants and true breeding pea plants?

a)

Hybrids are the offspring of parents with different traits while true breeding are plants that produce offspring identical to themselves

b)

Hybrids are plants that produce offspring identical to themselves while true breeding plants are the offspring of parents with different traits

c)

Hybrid plants have the phenotype of both parents

5.

Genes are...

a)

Different forms of a trait

b)

Chemical factors that determine your personality

c)

Chemical factors that determine traits

d)

Different forms of a gene

6.

Alleles are...

a)

Chemical factors that determine traits

b)

Different forms of a gene

c)

The gametes that allow plants to reproduce and form offspring

d)

Sex cells

7.

Characteristics such as seed color are determined by...

a)

Alleles

b)

Cross-pollination

c)

Genes

d)

Fertilization

8.

Yellow and green seed colors are determined by...

a)

Genes

b)

Alleles

c)

Fertilization

d)

Hybrids

9.

Why did Mendel name the original pair of plants the P generation?

a)

It was the letter in the alphabet that represented the number of trials he did

b)

It stands for "pea plants"

c)

It stands for the "parental" generation

d)

It stands for "Punnett" square

10.

Why did Mendel call the offspring of the P generation "F1"?

a)

It stands for the first generation

b)

In latin, "filius" and "filia" mean "son" and "daughter"

c)

He picked a random letter in the alphabet to represent it

d)

He din't call the offspring of the first generation F1

11.

Blue eye color and brown eye color are...

a)

Types of alleles for the eye color gene

b)

Types of genes for the eye color allele

c)

Hybrids

d)

Pure-breeding

12.

Eye color, height, skin color, and nose shape are all determined by

a)

Genes

b)

Alleles

c)

Fertliziation

d)

The environment

13.

The principle of dominance states that

a)

All alleles are dominant

b)

Every child will inherit more of their father's genes

c)

Every child will inherit more of their mother's genes

d)

Some alleles are dominant and some alleles are recessive

14.

What are the two types of alleles someone can inherit?

a)

Hybrid and true-breeding

b)

Dominant and recessive

c)

Homozygous and hterozygous

d)

Alleles and genes

15.

How many alleles are there for each gene?

a)

One

b)

Two

c)

Three

d)

Four

16.

If you get one dominant allele for a gene, will you get that trait?

a)

Yes, as long as you get one dominant allele, you will get that trait

b)

No, you need both dominant alleles to get that trait

c)

No, traits are not determined by alleles

d)

Yes, if you get one dominant allele, that automatically means you will get another dominant allele from the other parent

17.

What would happen if you got one dominant allele and one recessive allele?

a)

You would look like a mix of both the dominant and recessive alleles

b)

You would look like the dominant allele

c)

You would look like the recessive allele

d)

You would look like none of the alleles

18.

How are alleles passed from parents to offspring?

a)

Parents each give one gamete which contributes one allele for each gene to the new offspring

b)

Parents each give two gametes which contributes two alleles for each gene to the new offspring

c)

Parents give each give one gamete, and the offspring will only get the alleles of the father

d)

Parents give each give one gamete, and the offspring will only get the alleles of the mother

19.

What is a gamete?

a)

Someone who really likes to game

b)

The game of inheritance

c)

Sex cells

d)

One form of a gene
