1. The document provides examples and questions to test understanding of key biology concepts like Punnett squares, pedigree charts, and natural selection. It includes examples of using Punnett squares to determine genotype and phenotype percentages for traits like eye color and fur color in offspring.
2. Questions assess understanding of inheritance patterns from pedigree charts, including identifying modes of inheritance and drawing Punnett squares.
3. Other questions focus on natural selection, including how variation arises, selective pressures, adaptations, and how selection can change allele frequencies and populations over time.

Drawing Punnett squares
Biology Test Revision Solving pedigree charts
Describing the change of a population undergoing natural selection and it’s causes Key words • Autosomal • Punnett square • Species chromosomes • Dominant • Biodiversity • Sex chromosomes • Recessive • Variation • Allele • Trait • Selection pressure • Allele frequency • Autosomal dominant • Adaptation • Genotype • Autosomal recessive • Natural selection • Phenotype • X-linked recessive • Artificial selection • Homozygous • Pedigree chart • Population • Hemizygous • Generations • Heterozygous Punnett Squares 1. The allele for blue eyes is "t" while the allele for brown eyes is "T". What percentage of offspring produced by two parents with blue eyes would also have blue eyes?
Draw a punnet square and calculate the genotype/phenotype % as
evidence for your answer. Punnett Squares 2. The allele for longer necks in giraffes is dominant to the allele for shorter necks. What are the phenotypes of the cross between two homozygous parents, one with a long neck and one with a short neck?
Draw a punnet square and calculate the genotype/phenotype % as
evidence for your answer. Punnett Squares 3. Brown fur is dominant to white fur in a species of rabbit and is represented with the alleles "B" and "b". What are the resulting percentages of genotypes of a cross between a homozygous dominant parent and a heterozygous parent?
Draw a punnet square and calculate the genotype/phenotype % as
evidence for your answer. Punnett Squares 4. Colour blindness is an x-linked recessive genetic disorder. If a heterozygous mother had children with a father with normal vision, what would be the chances of producing children with colour blindness?
Draw a punnet square and calculate the genotype/phenotype % as
evidence for your answer. Punnett Squares 5. Why are males more susceptible to getting x-linked disorders than females?
6. What is the difference between an allele, a genotype and a
trait?
7. List two autosomal recessive traits, two autosomal dominant
traits and two x-linked recessive traits. Pedigree Charts 1. Identify the type of inheritance 2. Write the genotypes of every individual 3. Draw a punnett square to prove the genotypes of individuals I-1, I-2, II-4 and II-5 Pedigree Charts 1. Identify the type of inheritance 2. Write the genotypes of every individual 3. Draw a punnett square to prove the genotypes of all individuals Pedigree Charts This pedigree chart shows the inheritance pattern of haemophilia.
1. Explain how this chart shows
evidence of haemophilia being an x-linked recessive disease. Natural Selection 1. How does variation such as a bird with a longer beak than others of its species come about?
2. What selection pressure does
a longer beak give an advantage for? Natural Selection 1. Identify the adaptation and selection pressure in this comic.
2. Explain the changes of allele
frequency and therefore the changes to the population of seals. Natural Selection 1. Describe how each picture is related to natural selection or artificial selection.
2. What might be the
motivations for these changes to occur in wolves and teosinte?
