Heredity is defined as:

1
Heredity is defined as

• Transmission of characteristics from parents to
  offspring

2
When two or more alleles result in an appearance
in between the dominant and recessive trait, this
is called

• Incomplete dominance

3
Traits that result from genes on the X chromosome
are called

• X-linked traits

4
Define crossing over

• The exchange of genes among homologous
  chromosomes occurs during prophase I of meiosis

5
Mendel found that pea pod color and pea pod shape
are separate genes that occur independently from
one another. This describes the law of

• Independent assortment

6
The study of structure and function of genes is
called

• Molecular genetics

7
How is the F2 generation produced?

• Crossing two organisms from F1

8
You have a pea plant that displays the dominant
phenotype, but you dont know if the plant is
heterozygous or homozygous. How could you find
out?

• Conduct a testcross cross it with a plant that
  is homozygous recessive

9
The gene for sickle-cell anemia causes multiple
phenotypic characteristics. This is an example of

• Pleiotrophy one gene responsible for multiple
  phenotypic effects

10
Mendel discovered paired genes separate during
the formation of gametes. This led to the law of

• segregation

Set up a punnett square using the following
informationDominate allele for long wings
LRecessive allele for short wings l Cross a
heterozygous parent (Ll) with a heterozygous
parent (Ll)

• a. What is the probability of producing
  individuals homozygous for long
  wings? b. What is the probability of producing
  individuals homozygous for short
  wings? c. What is the probability of producing
  individuals heterozygous for long
  wings? d. What is the probability of producing
  individuals heterozygous for short wings?

12
Set up a punnett square using the following
informationDominate allele for black fur in
guinea pigs BRecessive allele for white fur in
guinea pigs bDominate allele for rough fur in
guinea pigs RRecessive allele for smooth fur
in guinea pigs rCross a heterozygous parent
with a homozygous recessive parent

• a. What is the probability of producing guinea
  pigs with black, rough fur?
• Possible genotype(s)?
• b. What is the probability of producing guinea
  pigs
• with black, smooth fur?
• Possible genotype(s)?

13

• c. What is the probability of producing guinea
  pigs
• with white, rough fur?
• Possible genotype(s)?
• d. What is the probability of producing guinea
  pigs
• with white, smooth fur?
• Possible genotype(s)?

Anne is pregnant with Scott's child.  What is the
chance that the baby will have type A
blood?Use the table on the blood type handout
as a key to solving the next few blood type
problems. 

• Susan is the mother of Charlie's first two
  children.  The oldest, Dawn, has type AB blood
  while her sister, Kate, has type B blood. 
  Charlie is now expecting a baby with Anne.  What
  is the chance that this child will have type O
  blood? 

15

• .  Scott and Susan's son, Paul, is willing to
  donate blood to a young girl with leukemia.  If
  the recipient has type O blood, will Paul be able
  to donate to her?

16

• Mr. and Mrs. Yardaz are expecting their second
  child. Both parents have pointed ears but the
  couples 2-year old son has round ears. What is
  the chance that their second born will have
  pointed ears?

17

• Doug Doouge has four arms. Dougs pregnant wife
  only has two arms. Doug would really like a
  daughter that has four arms just like him. What
  is the chance that Dougs wife will give birth to
  a baby girl with four arms?

18

• In four oclock flowers, red plants are
  homozygous for the allele R for flower color.
  Plants with white flowers are homozygous for r.
  Plants with pink flowers are heterozygous. What
  is the phenotypic ratio of cross between two pink
  plants?
