Question
Answer
What did Mendel conclude about traits?   They are inherited through the passing of factors from parents to offspring.  
🗑
The farther apart two genes are located on a chromosome:   The less likely they are to be inherited together.  
🗑
In the P generation, a tall plant was crossed with a short plant. No F1 plants were short. Short plants reappeared in the F2 generation because:   The allele for shortness and the allele for tallness segregated when the F1 plants produced gametes.  
🗑
Probability can be used to:   Predict the traits of the offspring produced by genetic crosses.  
🗑
Principle of independent assortment   During gamete formation, genes for different traits separated without influencing each other's inheritance.  
🗑
Intermediate inheritance   Cross of a black chicken and a white chicken produces all blue offspring  
🗑
Polygenic inheritance   variation in human skin color  
🗑
Mendel crossed a true-breeding tall plant with a true-breeding short plant. The F1 plants inherited:   an allele for tallness from the tall parent and an allele for shortness from the short parent  
🗑
In the P generation, a true-breeding tall plant (dominant) was crossed with a true-breeding short plant. If alleles did not segregate during gamete formation:   All the F2 plants would be tall.  
🗑
Hybrids   Offspring that result from crosses between true-breeding parents with different traits  
🗑
Mendel crossed true-breeding purple-flowered plants with true-breeding white-flowered plants. All the offspring were purple because:   the allele for purple-flowered plants is dominant.  
🗑
Homozygous   Organisms that have two identical alleles for a trait.  
🗑
A Punnett square shows:   The possible results of a genetic cross, but not the actual results.  
🗑
The sex-linked allele for colorblindness is located on:   the X chromosome  
🗑
If a woman who is a carrier of a sex-linked trait married a man with the trait, the chance that the child would have the trait would be:   50 %  
🗑
A carrier of a recessive disorder   has one copy of the allele and does not exhibit symptoms.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
