What type of plants did he use to carry out his experiments?
Green Bean Plant
White narcissums

What was Gregor Mendel's real job, before carrying out his experiment?
Philosophy teacher
He was a monk
Father of a church
Farmer
How many traits did Mendel take into account to study plant inheritance?
6
7
8
9
Which of these options was not a trait studied by Mendel?
Pod
Stem
Seed
Petals
What was the ratio in the F2 generation of his experiment?
2:1
3:1
4:1
1:1
Is this statement TRUE or FALSE?
"F1 plants carried both traits, even though they only expressed one."
TRUE
FALSE
Is this statement TRUE or FALSE?
"Mendel found that the features were not inherited independently."
TRUE
FALSE
In what year did Mendel present the results of his experiments?
1865-1866
1856-1857
1822-1823
1883-1884
Could we say that the dominant form could mask the presence of the recessive form?
No, because despite having the traits in the phenotype, they are not shown in the genotype.
No, because being dominant will only show the true-breed genes.
Yes, because despite having the traits in the genotype, they are not shown in the phenotype.
Yes, because they can show both traits at the same time (both the recessive and the dominant one).
Is how Gregor Mendel carried out experimentation on plants considered asexual reproduction?
Yes, it is asexual reproduction because it didn't happen naturally.
No, because he used the male and female cells to fertilize the flowers.
Yes, because plants do not have sex to reproduce.
No, this type of experiment is called self-pollination.
This term refers to the state of having inherited the same DNA sequence for a specific gene.
Allele
Homozygous
Heterozygous
Recessive
This term means you’ve inherited different alleles of a gene from each of your parents.
Phenotype
Heterozygous
Homozygous
Dominant
These are versions or alternative forms of the same gene with small differences in their DNA sequences.
Allele
Genome
Dominance
Genotype
