Brown eyes in humans is a dominant trait. We inherit dominant traits from our parents, some from our mother and some from our father, in the form of ______________.

According to Mendel's ______________, one copy of a gene is passed randomly from each parent to their offspring. Therefore, gametes have half the usual number of chromosomes. The ______________ states that different genes are not connected. In other words, the gene for eye color is not influenced by, nor does it influence, the gene for hair color. This allows gametes to form with a random mixture of traits. The cell division that creates gametes according to these principles is known as ______________.

Using the Punnett square to right, what is the probability of a dominant trait?

Tongue rolling is dominant to the inability to roll one’s tongue. Suppose that Jack, whose genotype is Rr, marries Jill, whose genotype is rr. According to the Punnett square, what fraction of their kids will be unable to roll their tongue?

In a cross of two flowers, red, R, is dominant and white, r, is recessive. In a cross between two white-flowered plants, what statement would BEST describe the offspring?

Red flowers (dominant) crossed with white flowers (recessive) can yield pink flowers. Pink is the heterozygous condition in a trait that shows incomplete dominance. If pink flowers are crossed with white flowers, what percentage is expected to be red flowers?

Ms. Smith has a baby named Tyra. She believes one of two men can be the father of her child. A paternity test is done, and the results are shown here. What is the best possible answer?

Recombinant DNA technology is used to produce all the following EXCEPT

For over a decade, farmers in the U.S. have been planting genetically modified crops. An example of one of these crops is corn that is resistant to weed killer. This makes it so that no corn is lost due to contact with herbicide meant to kill weeds. While this is seen by many as a positive development, others see it as a cause for concern. What is one possible negative side effect of planting corn that is resistant to weed killer?

Scientists are using DNA fingerprinting to help identify the bodies of those killed in the 9/11 tragedy. Most on-site evidence is in the form of bones or teeth. Yet the evidence supplied by the victims' families may include hair or toothbrushes. How are scientists able to compare DNA from bones or teeth to that found in hairs on a hairbrush?
