1.

Mendel proposed that traits observed in pea plants resulted from a combination of "factors" inherited from each parent. His description of these "factors" can be considered the first scientific definition of the role of —

a)

ribosomes

b)

meiosis

c)

genes

d)

cell nuclei

2.

Mendel's early work with pea plants demonstrated a significant genetic discovery. The crossing of homozygous tall pea plants with homozygous short pea plants always resulted in tall plants and demonstrated that tallness in pea plants is a trait that is —

a)

blended

b)

dominant

c)

mutated

d)

recessive

3.

The following items are examples of __________.

Items: eye color, hair color, height

a)

homozygous alleles

b)

genotype

c)

heterozygous alleles

d)

phenotype

4.

What is the term for a cross that involves just one trait, such as pod shape?

a)

test cross

b)

dihybrid cross

c)

monohybrid cross

d)

homozygous cross

5.

When the heterozygous condition results in traits that are blended or intermediate (not dominant or recessive), it is _______.

a)

codominance

b)

dominance

c)

Mendelian
