Brown eye color is dominant. Blue eye color is recessive. Select the combination of letters below that would represent a person being a purebred for brown eyes. In other words, which option represents a person having both alleles for brown eyes? (hint: think of capitalization of letters and what is used for dominant vs. recessive).
AA
Aa
aa
aA
What is the definition of the phenotype?
The physical traits of an organism
The genetic makeup of an organism
The letters eg, Aa
How the genotype is expressed.
What is NOT a possible genotype for someone with type B blood?
IBIB
IAIB
IBi
A calico cat shows both the traits for orange fur and black fur. What kind of allele expression is this?
Incomplete Dominance
Codominance
Independent assortment
Recessive inheritance
The alleles of a gene pair in a heterozygote are both expressed with no blending.
codominance
incomplete dominance
polygenic
multiple alleles
If brown eyes are dominant and blue eyes are recessive, what color eyes do the parents in this Punnett Square have?
one has brown eyes and the other has blue eyes
they both have blue eyes
they both have brown eyes
there's no way to tell based on this information
Which cross could produce a child with blood type A?
IAi x ii
IAi x IBIB
IAIA x IBIB
IBIB x ii
A roan (RW) bull mated with a red (RR) cow. What is the probability or producing a white (WW) cow?
25%
50%
100%
0%
Some flowers are controlled by codominance. Red flowers (RR), blue flowers (BB) and Speckled flowers (RB).
Cross a red flower with a speckled flower. What is the phenotypic ratio?
2 red, 2 speckled
2 red, 2 blue
2 blue, 2 speckled
Complete a cross between 2 speckled flowers and find the genotype ratio.
Law which states that different traits are inherited independently of each other
Law of independent assortment
Genetics law
Law states that 1 allele is more dominant than the other. Recessive allele is only expressed when dominant is not present
Law of dominance
Law of inheritance
If your genotype is Bb, then you can only pass a B or b to your child but you can't pass both.
Law of Dominance
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
An organism is a hybrid genotype (Tt) but is appears tall instead of short.
Law of Dominance
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Mendel crossed purebred yellow seeds with purebred greenseeds. Then he self ferilised the F1 progeny to obtain the F2. The statistic analysis of the F2 showed that... (more than one answer might be right)
100% of the F1 and 75% of the F2 were yellow.
All seed were yellow.
50% of F1 and 75% of F2 were yellow.
Green colour disappeared in the F1 but reappeared in F2
In dihybrid crosses, the alleles for the two traits segregate independently of each other when gametes are formed. So when looking at a parent with two traits there are four possible combinations when gametes are formed.
Heterozygous
The Law of Independent Assortment
Molecular genetics
Cross
The alleles must separate when gametes are formed
Trait
The Law of Segregation
Allele
Homozygous
Examples include skin color and height (the individual's phenotype exists somewhere along a spectrum)
polygenic inheritance
multiple alleles
linked genes
incomplete dominance
A father has type AB blood and the mother has type O. What percentage of their offspring would you expect to have?
Type A, 25%, Type B 25%, Type AB 25%, Type O 25%
Type A 50%, Type B 25%, Type AB 25%, Type O 50%
Type A blood 50%, Type B 50%, Type AB 0%, Type O Blood 0%
Type A blood 100%
AB blood type is an example of what type of inheritance? Both alleles show in the phenotype
complete dominance
incomplete dominance
codominance
polygenic inheritance
A single gene has 3 or more alleles. These are called
multiple genes
multiple alleles
codominance
polygenic traits
What type of inheritance is determined by multiple genes and there can be a range of traits?
Codominance
Incomplete dominance
Polygenic traits

What are the blood types of the possible children that a woman (type O) and man (type AB) can have?
AO and BO
O and A
O and B
A and B
What is NOT a possible genotype for someone with type B blood?
BB
AB
BO
