Mendel called the distinct heritable features
alleles
chromosomes
characters
traits
In peas, tall plants are dominant over dwarf. Mendel crossed two pea plants that are tall and studied the offspring. Of the 100 offspring, 78 were tall and 22 are dwarf. What were the genotypes of the parents?
TTXTt
ttXTT
TtXtt
TtXTt
In peas, tall plants are dominant over dwarf. Mendel crossed two pea plants that are tall and studied the offspring. Of the 100 offspring, 78 were tall and 22 are dwarf. What were the genotypes of the tall plants from the cross?
TT only
Tt only
TT and Tt
There is not enough information to know for sure.
Alternative versions of genes are called
alleles
traits
characters
chromosomes
States that the two alleles for a heritable character separate (segregate) during gamete formation and end up in different gametes.
Law of Loci
Law of Dominance
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
In peas, purple flowers are dominant over white flowers. If a heterozygous purple pea plant is crossed with a white flower, what portion of the offspring would be expected to be white?
0%
25%
50%
75%
100%
States that each pair of alleles segregates independently of each other pair of alleles during gamete formation.
Law of Dominance
Law of Segregation
Law of Loci
Law of Independent Assortment

mixed together.
separated.
Multiplication Rule:
If two parents have the genotypes AAbbCc X aaBbcc, what is the probability of having an offspring with AabbCc?
1/4

1/32
All of them.
The phenotype of F1 hybrids is somewhere between the phenotypes of the two parental varieties.
incomplete dominance
codominance
complete dominance
multiple alleles
Two dominant alleles affect the phenotype in separate, distinguishable ways.
incomplete dominance
codominance
law of dominance
complete dominance
In snapdragons red and white are incompletely dominant, the heterozygous condition results in pink. What is the probability of getting white offspring when a white and a pink flower are crossed?
0%
25%
50%
75%
100%

Most genes have multiple phenotypic effects, a property called
codominance
pleiotropy
epistasis
norm of reaction
Some traits may be determined by two or more genes, this is
incomplete dominance
codominance
pleiotropy
epistasis
Skin color in humans is involve a variation along a continuum involving several genes, this is
codominance
polygenic inheritance
epistasis
pleiotropy
Heterozygous individuals who carry the recessive allele but are phenotypically normal are referred to as
carriers
affected
normal
diseased
In this disease, the allele results in defective or absent chloride transport channels in plasma membranes
Symptoms include mucus buildup in some internal organs and abnormal absorption of nutrients in the small intestine
Huntington's
achondroplasia
Sickle cell anemia
cystic fibrosis
A degenerative disease of the nervous system
The disease has no obvious phenotypic effects until the individual is about 35 to 40 years of age.
