Answer:
False always Question 2: Offspring that result from crosses between true-breeding parents with different traits
Answer:
are called hybrids
Question 3: Gregor Mendel concluded that traits are
Answer:
inherited through the passing of factors from parents to offspring Question 4: If the allele for shortness in pea plants were dominant, all the pea plants in Mendel's F1 generation would have been
Answer:
short
Question 5: When Gregor Mendel crossed true-breeding tall plants with true-breeding short plants, all of the offspring were tall because
Answer:
the allele for tall plants is dominany
Question 6: Gregor Mendel used pea plants to study
Answer:
the inheritance of traits
Question 7: The different forms of a gene are called
Answer:
alleles Question 8: How many recessive alleles for a trait must an organism inherit in order to show that trait?
Answer:
2 Question 9: A cross of red cow (RR) with a white bull (WW) produces all roan offspring(RW).This type of inheritance is known as
Answer:
incomplete dominance Question 10: How many different allele combinations would be found in the gametes produced by the pea plant whose genotype was RrYY
Answer:
2
Question 11: Gregor Mendel's principles of genetics apply to
Answer:
all organisms
Question 12: The principles of probability can be used to
Answer:
predict the traits of the offspring produced by genetic crosses
Question 13: When Gregor Mendel crossed a tall plant with a short plant, the F1 plants inherited
Answer:
an allele for tallness from the tall parent and an allele for shortness from the short parent Question 14: Situations in which one of the allele for a gene is not completely dominant over another allele for that gene are called
Answer:
incomplete dominance
Question 15: If you made a Punnett square showing Gregor Mendel's cross between
true-breeding tall plants and true-breeding short plants, the square would show that the offspring had
Answer:
a genotype that was different from that of both parents Question 16: Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be
Answer:
homozygous Question 17: A tall plant is crossed with a short plant. If the tall F1 pea plants are allowed to self-pollinate,
Answer:
some of the offspring will be tall and some will be short
Question 18: The principle pf dominance states that
Answer:
some alleles are dominant and others are recessive
Question 19: The chemical factors that determine traits are
Answer:
genes
