A 75% B 25%
C 0% D 50%
C heterozygous genes D Aa
4. Aa is
5. B=brown eyes
b= blue eyes
What is true about these two brothers that have brown eyes:
One has genotype BB the other Bb.
they have same genotype but different they have different genotypes and
C D
phenotypes phenotypes
6. Who is considered the "father of genetics"?
7. If one stronger trait "covers" up another weaker trait, the trait that covers the other is said
to be:
A Recessive B Hidden
C Dominant D Heterozygous
A Tt B T
C tt D TT

genotypes of the future offspring?
10. In the punnett square shown, what must the genotype of the
missing parent be?

baby. What is the possibility of the baby being blue eyed?
A 0% B 75%
C 25% D 50%
12. How many alleles (letters) does a child get from EACH parent for each trait?
A 2 B 1

13. Freckles (F) are dominant over nonfreckles. What is the phenotype
of individual #3
A freckles B ff
C Ff D nonfreckles
A fertilization B gamete
C gene D allele
15. Which observation of dihybrid crosses led to Mendel's law of independent assortment
Some combinations of traits were not The presence of one trait didn't affect the
A B
passed onto offspring presence of another
Many combinations of traits were always Particular individual traits persisted for
C D
inherited together many generations
16. In Mendel's monohybrid cross of a purebred white-flowered plant and a purebred purple-
flowered plant, the F1 generation
C showed only the dominant trait D showed only the recessive trait
17. Mendel's law of segregation states that during meiosis, the alleles
that control each trait separate, and only _________________ from each
pair is/are passed to the offspring
