| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Be able to list the genotypes of a Punnett Square. | The genotypes is the actual gene. Example: BbYy |
| Be able to give the expecte genotypic ratio in a heterozygous cross. | 1/2 Homozyguos, 1/2 Heterozygous; 1(TT) 2(Tt) 1(tt) |
| The farther apart two genes are located on a chromosome... | the less likely there are to be inherited together. |
| Linked genes... | are on the same chromosome. |
| Why is chromosome number reduced by meiosis? | between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2, replication does NOT occur |
| Be able to recognize a figure of crossing over? | when one chromosome leg crosses over one of another chromosome pair |
| How are gametes produced? | Meiosis |
| What do most dihybrid crosses show? | that which genes assort independently |
| Which of Mendel's principles explains why offspring inherit two recessive genes? | principles of dominance and segregation |
| How do we represent the number of chromosomes in a gamete? | the letter 'n' |
| Gametes have... | one allele for each gene. |
| Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be... | homozygous |
| In Mendel's experiment, the probability that an F2 plant would be tall was... | 75% |
| If alleles did not segregate during gamete formation... | then all of Mendel's F2 plants would have been tall. |
| When Mendel allowed the tall F1 pea plants to self-pollinate... | some of the offspring were short. |
| If a pea plant has a recessive allele for green peas it will produce: | all green peas if it does not also have the dominant allele for yellow peas |
| The principle of dominance states that: | some alleles are dominant and others are recessive. |
| In Mendel's experiments, the F1 plants inherited... | an allele of tallness from the tall parent and an allele for shortness from the short parent. |
| What are Mendel's factors called today? | genes |
