seed colour

b)

seed shape

c)

flower colour

d)

8.

a)

9:3:3:1

b)

c)

3:1

d)

1:2:1

9.

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)

a)

100% of the F1 and 75% of the F2 were yellow.

b)

All seed were yellow.

c)

50% of F1 and 75% of F2 were yellow.

d)

Green colour disappeared in the F1 but reappeared in F2

10.

What does first Mendel's laws state?

a)

When crossing two purebred individuals the phenotype of the offspring is homogeneus and corresponds to the dominant trait.

b)

When crossing two purebred individuals the phenotype of the offspring is homogeneus and corresponds to the recessive trait.

c)

When crossing two hybrids showing the dominant phenotype, the recessive trait reappears in the offspring.

d)

The offspring will look like parentals.

11.

Which is the expected phenotype if we cross two purebred plants with yellow and green seeds?

a)

100% green seeds

b)

100% yellow seeds

c)

75% yellow seeds 25% green seeds

d)

75% green seeds 25% yellow seeds

12.

Second Mendel's law states that...

a)

The offspring from two hybrids with the same phenotype, includes individuals with a different phenotype from the parentals.

b)

There is a uniform inheritance of characters. The progeny is identical to the parentals.

c)

The offspring from two purebred individuals is homogeneus and shows the same phenotype as one parental only.

d)

Phenotype and genotype are the same.

13.

Which of the following patterns of inheritance is characterized by the presence of two dominant alleles that are both fully expressed in the phenotype?

a)

Incomplete dominance

b)

Codominance

c)

Complete dominance

d)

Recessive inheritance

14.

In a dihybrid cross between two heterozygous individuals (AaBb x AaBb), what is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring?

a)

9:3:3:1

b)

3:1

c)

1:2:1

d)

1:1
