1.

True or False

A hybrid is

The off spring of crosses of parents with different traits.

a)

True

b)

False

2.

When George Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant, what was the F1 plants genotypes?

a)

TT

b)

Tt

c)

tt

3.

What does the principle of dominance state?

a)

defined that the individual has two alleles for each particular characteristic, and during the development of gametes, these alleles become segregated. In other words, there is one allele in each gamete.

b)

That the alleles of two (or more) different genes get sorted into gametes independently of one another. In other words, the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.

c)

Alleles are either dominant or recessive

4.

A tall plant is mixed with a short plant. If the F1 pea plants are allowed to self pollinate, what will be the genotypes and phenotypes?

a)

25% Short 75% Tall

25% tt 75%Tt

b)

25% Short 75% Tall

25% tt 25%TT 50%Tt

c)

50% Tall 50% Short

50% Tt 50% tt

d)

100% Tall

100% Tt

5.

Organisms that have 2 identical alleles for a trait are said to be:

a)

Somatic

b)

Heterozygous

c)

Sexual

d)

Homozygous (Purebred)

6.

In the cross of Tt to TT, what are the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring?

a)

100% Tall

100% Tt

b)

50% Tall 50% Short

50% TT 50% tt

c)

50% Tall 50% Short

50% Tt 50% tt

d)

100% Short

100% tt

7.

If you made a punnett square showing Gregor Mendel's cross between true-breeding tall plants and short plants , the square would show which genotype?

a)

TT- 50%

tt- 50%

b)

Tt- 50%

tt- 25%

TT- 25%

c)

Tt- 50%

tt- 50%

d)

Tt- 100%

8.

No gene is completely dominant

a)

Incomplete dominance

b)

Law of segregration

c)

Codominance

9.

What's a phenotype?

a)

Physical trait

b)

Genes

10.

Passing of traits is called?

a)

Offspring

b)

Genes

c)

Passing on traits

d)

Heredity

11.

Mendel's finding that the inheritance of one trait had no effect onther inheritance of another became known as-

a)

Principle of Dominance

b)

Law of Independent Assortment

c)

Law of Segregation

12.

What is the expected genotypic ratio from a homo dominant + hetero monohybrid cross?

a)

2:1:2

b)

2:2:0

c)

1:2:1

d)

4:0

13.

The plants mendel used to produce the F1 generation are called?

(a)  

14.

The diff forms of a gene is called?

a)

Trait

b)

Allele

c)

DNA

15.

Why are dominant traits shown?

a)

The law of dominance states traits are either dominant or recessive.

b)

Because they're dominant

c)

Since the letters are capital

16.

What happens when alleles segregate from each other?

a)

Answer ---->

b)

They segregate independently of each other to allow various combinnations (genetic variation)

17.

Define incomplete dominance

a)

Only one trait is shown

b)

Where both traits are shown

c)

Where no trait takes complete dominance, which results in a new phenotype

18.

Define codominance

a)

Only one trait is shown

b)

Where both traits are shown
