Biology Unit 8 Genetics Quiz

The passing of traits from parents to offspring.

What is the phenotype of a pure brown bear if brown (B) is dominant to tan (b)?

If white flowers are recessive to red flowers what letter would you use to represent it.

How many different traits did Mendel observe in his original work?

Which blood type is always hybrid and considered to be a universal recipient?

An "x" is used to designate an individual in a pedigree that has died as the result of the genetics.

Type O blood is a universal donor.

The "stronger," or the gene that "hides" another gene.

A square in a pedigree represents a female.

Mendel's genotypic ratio result when two hybrids for a single trait are crossed.

A biological male is designated by a pair of "X" chromosomes.

Mendel called these "factors."

In what biological process does segregation occur?

A record that shows how a trait had been inherited between generations.

Purebreds can also be called pure or homozygous.

The "weaker," or the gene that is "hidden."

The likelihood that something will happen.

There are no calico male cats because they only have one X.

Type AB blood is a good example of codominance

If a blood type homozygous Type A is crossed with Type AB the offspring will be

The different versions of a trait.

In sex-linked traits, ...............

Crossing a red flower with a white flower and getting pink is a good example of this.

This was Mendel's job

The phenotypic ratio that Mendel saw as he crossed two dihybrids, heterozygous for both traits.

Another name for heterozygous

This is the country that Mendel is from.

Mendel said, "two or more pairs of genes separate on their own."

The "X" shaped structures found in cells going through cell division.

This is a condition where there are more than two alleles for a trait.

Mendel said, "Members of each pair of genes separate."

What organism was the focus of Mendel's work?

Both letters representing genes are the same.

Where did your original set of genes come from?

In a monohybrid cross between two hybrids, what is Mendel's observed phenotypic results?

The first individuals in a genetic cross are called what generation?

A cross between two identical purebreds will result in?

Considered the "Father of Genetics"

Root Word for "Same."
