Question 17
17.

  1. Draw a Punnett square below
  2. Show all the probabilities (percentages) of the genotypes of the offspring

The parents are: a Medium Muscled (Mm) male and a Typical (mm) female cow. REMEMBER: MUSCLED COWS CAN HAVE HYBRIDS.

Question 18
18.

  1. Draw a Punnett square below
  2. Show all the probabilities (percentages) of the genotypes of the offspring

A male with type O (ii) blood has a child with a woman who is heterozygous for type A (Ai) blood.

Question 19
19.

  1. Draw a Punnett square below
  2. Show all the probabilities (percentages) of the genotypes of the offspring

In some chickens, the gene for feather color is controlled by codominance. The allele for black is B and the allele of white is W. The heterozygous phenotype is known as erminette (BW), meaning black and white feathers appear together.
Two erminette chickens were crossed. Show the Punnett Square

Question 20

Where do we get our genetic information from?

Why are sex linked traits more common in males than in females?

Question 26
26.

In the case of regular dominance, dominant traits will hide a recessive trait.
True
False
A carrier is a person who has
dominant alleles for a trait           
recessive alleles for a trait
one recessive and one dominant allele
When an alelle masks (or hides) another allele it is known as a
Gene
Recessive gene
Dominant gene
Stronger gene
The alternate forms of a gene (like in the picture) are known as:
Recessive
Alleles
Dominant
Genotypes
Another name for sperm and egg is
heredity
sex cells
dominant
alleles
What does this picture represent?
incomplete dominance
flowers
no dominance
Complete dominance
Sections of chromosomes that code for specific instructions are:
recessives.
parents.
purebreds.
genes.
An organism’s physical appearance is it's
codominance
heterzygous
phenotype
genotype
An organism that has two identical alleles for a trait like TT or tt, is known as
codominant
incomplete
heterozygous
homozygous
A hybrid is the offspring of parents that have different alleles for a trait.
True
False
Recessive alleles are represented by a capital letter.
True
False
If a person has a total of 46 chromosomes in their body cells, how many chromosomes are in their sex cells?
23
120
none of these
60
The passing of traits from parent to offspring is called
heredity
dominant
hybrid
probability
A heterozygous organism has
two identical alleles for a trait.
only one allele for a trait.
two different alleles for a trait.
three different alleles for a trait.
Question 15
15.

Make a Punnett Square for a cross between two HETEROZYGOUS GREEN pea plants. (you may use whatever letter you would like)

Question 16
16.

What is the probability of the offspring from the cross you just did, having a phenotype of yellow?

Remember: Green is COMPLETELY dominant (no in-between phenotype) and yellow is recessive.

What is the probability that the offspring of a homozygous dominant individual and a homozygous recessive individual will exhibit the dominant phenotype? You can use the Punnett Square attached to help you.

THIS IS FOR A COMPLETE DOMINANCE INHERITANCE (THERE IS NO HYBRID- no in-between phenotype)
66%
25%
100%
50%
Tallness (T) is dominant over shortness (t) in pea plants. Which of the following represents the genotype of a pea plant that is heterozygous for tallness?
tt
Tt
TT
T

Is this an example of sexual or asexual reproduction?
Sexual

An example of a sex linked trait is
flower color
