In squirrels, the gene for gray fur (G) is dominant over the gene for black fur (g). If 50% of a large litter of squirrels are gray, the parental cross that produced this litter was most likely | Gg x gg |
Which cross could produce a child with type O blood? | AO x BO |
Which represents the genotype of a homozygous condition? | bb |
What percentages can be expected in the offspring of cross between a female carrier for color blindness and a male with normal color vision? | 25% normal male, 25% colorblind males, 25% normal females, 25% carrier females |
Geneticists have observed that fruit flies that commonly inherit vestigial wings also inherit lobed eyes. Observations such as this have helped to develop the genetic concept known as | gene linkage |
By which process are two daughter nuclei formed that are identical to each other and to the original nucleus? | mitosis |
Chromosomes normally occur as homologous pairs in | a zygote |
Because the gene for hemophilia is located on the X-chromosome, it is normally impossible for a | hemophiliac father to pass the gene on to his son |
A man with a blood genotype AO marries a woman with a blood genotype of AO. What blood types could be expected in their children? | both type A and type O |
When many hybrid tall pea plants are cross-pollinated, the offspring produced will probably be | 50% heterozygous tall |
A hybrid black-coated guinea pig produces two million sperm cells. Approximately what number of its sperm cells contain the recessive gene for white coat color? | 1 million |
Some individuals with blood group A may inherit the genes for blond hair, while other individuals with blood group A may inherit the genes for brown hair. This can be explained by the principle of | independent assortment |
The outward appearance (gene expression) of a particular trait in an organism is referred to as | a phenotype |
Sexual 1: | Two parents take part |
Asexual 1: | Single parent |
Sexual 2: | Variation occurs in off springs |
Asexual 2: | Offspring's are genetically exact off springs their parents |
Sexual 3: | Fertilization takes place |
Asexual 3: | No Internal fertilization or External fertilization |
Sexual 4: | Gametes are involved |
Asexual 4: | No gametes |
Sexual reproduction is more | complex than asexual reproduction. |
What requires the production of sex cells, or gametes, which have half the number of chromosomes of all other cells in the organism? | Sexual reproduction. |
The most important thing about sexual reproduction is | its ability to switch around successful genes |
Asexually reproducing organisms do not | readily share genetic material, but they do reproduce much faster. |
