In cattle the allele for cloven hooves (H) is dominant over the allele for mule-foot hooves (h). The phenotype for each trait is shown in the picture. What is the probability of cloven hooves in the offspring of parents that are heterozygous for the trait?
25%
50%
75%
100%
Albinism is an autosomal recessive condition. Which circle graph shows the genotype probability when an albino female mates with a male that is heterozygous for the albinism trait?
If several pea plants with the genotype TTYy are crossed with pea plants with thte genotype Ttyy, what percentage of the offspring will be expected to have the TTYy allele combination?
25%
40%

75%
What do you call the non-Mendelian inheritance pattern that states that neither trait is dominant and the traits appear to blend together? (ex. red and white flower produces pink flowers)
Codominance
Incomplete dominance
Polygenic traits
This picture shows what the red blood cell of someone with sickle cell anemia. This disorder is carried on the X chromosome and is most common in sub-saharan populations. What type of inheritance pattern must it follow?
codominance
sex-linked inheritance
multiple allele inheritance
incomplete dominance
Skin color in humans is controlled by at least 5 genes. What type of non-Mendelian inheritance does this represent?

A Punnett square shows all of the following except_
All possible results of a genetic cross
The possible genotypes of the offspring
The alleles in the gametes of each parent
The actual result of a genetic cross
Two plants are crossed in monohybrid cross, resulting in offspring with a 3:1 phenotypic ratio for a particular trait. This suggests that
the trait shows incomplete dominance
the parents were true-breeding for contrasting traits
the parents were both heterozygous for a single trait
each offspring has the same alleles for each of two traits
Analyze the punnet square. Which statement is incorrect one?
All of the offspring will inherit a recessive allele
All of the offspring will show a recessive phenotype
The offspring in this case cannot end up with a genotype different from the parents
These two parents cannot produce homozygous dominant offspring
Crossing -over most commonly results in...
new species
new populations
new combinations of genes
new number of chromosomes
Sex-linked genes are typically found on the
Y chromosome
X chromosome
X and Y chromosome
None of the above
Which diagram demonstrates how crossing-over contributes to genetic variety during meiosis?
A
B
C
D
Which of the following accurately states the end result of meiosis?
2 genetically different haploid cells
2 genetically identical diploid cells
4 genetically different haploid cells
4 genetically identical diploid cells
Which of the following can best be determined by examining this karyotype?
The presence of an additional chromosome
The presence of homozygous genotype
The person's genome
The person's phenotype
Which statement best explains the significance of meiosis in the evolution of species?
Meiosis produces eggs and sperm that are identical
The gametes produced by meiosis allow for asexual reproduction of a species
Equal numbers of eggs and sperm are produced by meiosis
Meiosis provides for chromosomal variation in an organism's gametes
A white mouse with red eyes is crossed with a black mouse with brown eyes. The white mouse is recessive for both of its traits. The black mouse is dominant for both of its traits.
This cross would be

BbEE x BbEe
BBee x BBEE
parent 2: ggBb
