| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A puppy is born with a spotted coat. What causes the puppy to look this way? | The puppy inherited DNA for spots from its parents. |
| In an F1 cross, a purebred short corn plant is crossed with a purebred tall corn plant. All the offspring seeds result in tall plants. According to Mendel's work, this means "Tall" is... | Dominant. Recessives hide, so the dwarf "short" plant is carried heterozygously. |
| A smiley that is homozygous for yellow nose is crossed with a smiley that is homozygous for red nose. In the case of INCOMPLETE dominance, the noses of offspring will be what color? | RY = ORANGE RR= red YY= yellow |
| What is "crossing-over"? | Sexual Reproduction involves crossing-over during MEIOSIS, resulting in genetic variation. |
| A black lab is crossed with a yellow lab. What explains why the offspring look the way they do? | If ALL the offspring are black, then the parents were both homozygous... homozygous black BB and homozygous yellow bb. The offspring show the dominant condition but carry the recessive. |
| A black lab is crossed with a yellow lab, and some of the puppies are yellow. What does that tell you about the Black parent? | The black parent must be heterozygous (Bb) if Some of its offspring showed the recessive phenotype instead. |
| Genotype ratio from a Heterozygous x Heterozygous monohybrid cross. | 1:2:1 GG:Gg:gg |
| Homozygous Dominant x Heterozygous Use a Punnett square if needed... what is the PHENOTYPE ratio that will result? | TT x Tt = TT, TT, Tt, Tt 100% will show the dominant trait. |
| Complete a Punnett square to show the result of a Dd x Dd breeding regarding D= dewclaws, d=absence of dewclaws. | Dd x Dd = DD, Dd, Dd, dd 75% of the offspring has dewclaws 25% of the offspring will not. |
| In humans, nearsightedness is dominant. A man is nearsighted and his wife is normal-sighted. Name the two possible scenarios for parents and offspring. | 1) NN (homozygous dominant man) x nn = all offspring Nearsighted Heterozygous Nn. 2) Nn (Het. man carries normal) x nn (normal wife) = 50% children Nearsighted, 50% normal-vision |
| What takes place in Prophase 1 of Meiosis? | Duplicated chromosomes are supercoiled... they exchange material through crossing over. Nuclear envelope dissolves. |
| What takes place in Metaphase 1 of Meiosis? | Homologous Chromosomes line up at the cell's equator in pairs. |
| What takes place in Anaphase 2 of Meiosis? | Sister Chromatids separate and are pulled by spindle fibers to opposite ends of the pair of cells. |
| cells with a full set of genetic material | diploid describes body (somatic) cells |
| cells with a HALF set of genetic material | haploid described sex cells (gametes) |
| Two things that happen during meiosis that mix up parental genetic material - creating diversity... | crossing-over (prophase1) independent assortment (metaphase1) |
| The function of meiosis is to create cells that are... | genetically UNIQUE, with HALF the number of chromosomes as the germ cell... GAMETES! |
