PP
Pp

To discover whether an animal showing the dominant trait is homozygous or heterozygous, it must be crossed with an animal that is:
homozygous dominant
homozygous recessive
heterozygous
choices B & C
Two tall pea plants are crossed, producing 105 tall plants & 32 short plants. The genotypes of the tall parent plants are:
Tt & Tt
TT & Tt
Tt & tt
tt & tt
A spotted dalmation is mated with a pure-white dalmation (ss) to deteremine whether its genotype is SS or Ss for spots. Three puppies are born, all with spots. We can conclude that the spotted dalmation is SS.
TRUE
FALSE
In mice brown (B) is dominant to white (b). A brown mouse is mated with a white mouse. Twelve brown mice are produced. The brown mouse's genotype is:
BB
Bb
bb
a reliable conclusion can't be reached
Two brown-eyed parents have a child with blue eyes. The best explanation is:
a mutation occured before the child was born
both parents carry the allele for blue eyes
both parents are pure for brown eyes
Which scenario best supports the conclusion that a black guinea pig's genotype is homozygous dominant?
after mating with a white guinea pig, 2 black & 2 white guinea pigs were produced
after mating with a white guinea pig, 10 black & 8 white guinea pigs were produced
after mating with a white guinea pig, 12 black guinea pigs were produced
after mating with a black guinea pig, 4 black guinea pigs were produced
Individuals with the same phenotype have the same genotype
TRUE
FALSE
In a test cross to determine whether a fruit fly is homozygous (WW) or heterozygous (Ww) for long wings, 7 long-winged flies & 1 short winged-fly are produced. Which is a valid conclusion?
the unknown fruit fly is WW
the unknown fruit fly is Ww
the unknown fruit fly is ww
more offspring are needed
In hamsters, long tails (L) are dominant to short tails (l). A student wishes to perform a test cross to determine whether a female long-tailed hamster is homozygous or heterozygous for tail length. She mates the hamster with a male long-tailed hamster & studies the offspring, which are 100% long-tailed. She concludes that the female hamster's genotype is "LL". What mistake(s) did the student make?
she should have mated the female hamster with a male that was known to be hybrid
she should have mated the female hamster with a short-tailed male hamster
she should have mated the female hamster with another long-tailed female
she has to mate members of the litter before she can make a conclusion
