1.

There are several exceptions to Mendel and his experiments. Which one below explains Incomplete and co dominance

a)

one gene involved but more than two versions of that gene is present.

b)

The hybrid form creates a blend of the dominant and recessive trait and two traits are expressed at the same time when both are in an allele pair.

c)

Many genes are used to create a range of phenotypes

d)

The heterozygous pair of alleles produce two separate but dominant traits that mix or blend together.

2.

The phenotype ratio of a monohybrid cross is __________ and that of a dihybrid cross is_______________.

a)

5: 1 and 3:3:1

b)

3:1 and 9: 3: 3:1

c)

4: 0 and 16 :0 : 0 :0

d)

2:2 and 8 :0 : 0: 8

3.

Which of Mendel's two laws explain why a short offspring appears in the next generation even though both parents were tall and Heterzygous( hybrid)

a)

Law of segregation

b)

Law of Dominnace

c)

Law of Independent assortment

d)

Law of polygenic traits

4.

7.

In two trait crosses there are four posibble phenotypes because you are crossing two separate traits. One trait might be the height (tall or short) of the plant and another trait may be the texture of the seeds (rough or smooth). which of the following describes why this occurs?

a)

incomplete dominnace

codominance

polygenic traits

Law of independent assortment
