1.

This law describes how each homologous pair separates independently of any other pairs during Anaphase I of meiosis

a)

Law of Segregation

b)

Law of Independent Assortment

c)

Law of Gravity

d)

Law of Mathematical Order

2.

What percentage of offspring from PpAa x ppAa would be expected to be heterozygous for both traits?

a)

50%

b)

75%

c)

25%

d)

0%

3.

White fur is dominant to grey fur in mice. You want to know if a male you are thinking of purchasing is purebred. (of course the male is white!)

a)

W= white w=grey

If you continued to breed the male with a heterozygous white female and they had offspring that were grey you would know that he was NOT a purebred (WW). Only it's impossible to know to without genetic testing if the female was heterozygous.

b)

W= white w=grey

If you continued to breed the male with a grey female and they had offspring that were white and grey you would know that he was NOT a purebred (WW). Grey mice are homozygous and therefore only pass on the recessive allele the offspring so this would be the only test you could do.

c)

W= white w=grey

There is no way to determine if he is truly purebred and you would just have to assume he was.

d)

W= white w=grey

If you continued to breed the male (WW) with a homozygous white female you would only get white offspring if you got any grey mice then he would not be homozygous. Only it's impossible to know without genetic testing if the female is truly purebred.
