What did Gregor Mendel discover about heredity?

1

Fill in the blank: _________________ Alleles - An allele that covers another allele.

1

Fill in the blank: ______________________ Alleles - An allele that is covered, or hidden by another allele.

1

Select all answers that are correct.

The dominant allele is ALWAYS seen when a dominant allele is present

The recessive allele is ALWAYS seen when a recessive allele is present

TWO recessive alleles must be present for the recessive allele to be seen

TWO dominant alleles must be present for the dominant allele to be seen

1

How are alleles represented?

1

Which of the following are corrent. They may be more than one correct answer.

an upper case letter = the resessive allele

a lower case letter = the resessive allele

an upper case letter = the domanint allele

a lower case letter = the domanint allele

1

Which of the following is the correct defintion of Genotype

an organisms genetic makeup – the combination of alleles

an organisms outward appearance or behavior

1

Which of the following is the correct defintion of Phenotype

an organisms genetic makeup – the combination of alleles

an organisms outward appearance or behavior

1

Select all that are an example of a Genotype.

1

Select all that are an example of a Phenotype.

1

Which definitions are correct?

If the two alleles are the same, its Genotype is homozygous

B

1

Select the correct defintions.

If the two alleles are the same, its Genotype is heterozygous

If the two alleles are different, its Genotype is homozygous

If the two alleles are the same, its Genotype is homozygous

If the two alleles are different, its Genotype is heterozygous

1

Circle the genotypes that are homozygous and underline the genotytpes that are heterozygous.

PUNNETT SQUARE PRACTICE

Directions: Black is the DOMINANT fur color for rabbits and white is the recessive. B stands for the black allele and b represents the white allele. A white rabbit would have a genotype of bb and a black rabbit could have a genotype of BB or Bb.

Pedigree 1 shows a family of parrots. One offspring shows the trait for blue feathers. (R = red feathers, r = blue feathers).
Do you think blue feathers is dominant or recessive? How did you know? Support your answer.

Create your own pedigree or make one up! You must show 3 generations.
Ideas on who to include: You, your parents, Aunts/Uncles, your grandparents, grandparents siblings, your great-grandparents. See mine below!
