What is Gregor Mendel known for?

1

Which part of plants is the male gamete? (Not the male organ, the actual gamete)

1

Critical Thinking: On a pea plant, the pea pod is a carpel, or a single simple ovary. The peas are the ovules, which are fertilized female gametes. How do you think this compares to an apple?

Two parents are carriers for sickle cell trait - this means they have the recessive gene, but they don't have the disease because they also have the dominant gene. What's the chance of their child having sickle cell anemia? Complete the Punnett Square in the Show Your Work Box

1

In fruit flies, red eyes (R) are dominant to white eyes (r). Create a punnett square a cross between a white eyed female (hint: if she has white eyes, what are her alleles?) and a purebred red eyed male. (hint: purebred = homozygous)

1

For the above cross, the genotypes of the offspring would be?

1

For the above cross, the Phenotype of the offspring would be?

1

Two hybrid (or heterozygous) red eyed flies (Rr) are crossed. What percentage of their offspring do you think will be red eyed? Show your work and circle your answer.

1

If the flies had 625 children, how many would you expect to have white eyes? Why?

1

The observable traits expressed by an organism are
described as its ________.

1

Explain the difference between genotype and phenotype. Use examples
