Post by: ZOË95 on Mar 5, 2013
THUMBNAIL #1

Numerical Response

Choose the correct genotype number for each description of an offspring.

Genotype number:    ____________          ____________         ____________      ____________
Offspring Description: Homozygous       Genotype similar to       Heterozygous        Recessive
                                     genotype            one of the parents             genotype           phenotype       

Hide hint for Question 16

This question may cause some confusion. Sometimes (rarely) you may have to select the same number to answer a question. Other times, one of two possible answers may be correct. You need to answer with what you know and not try to apply some other logic just to force different numbers to fit.

In mice with complete dominance in coat colour, brown (B) is dominant to white (b).  The genotypes BB, Bb, and bb represent


Question 18 options:

A) two genotypes
 
B) two phenotypes
 
C) three phenotypes

D) one phenotype

Mendel's Law of Segregation separates alleles in forming gametes. Beginning with the genotype (Ww), how would these genes be distributed among four sperm cells?


Question 19 options:

A) all W or all w
 
B) many ways as a matter of chance
 
C) WW, Ww, Ww, ww
 
D) two containing w and two containing W

Tall pea plants are dominant to dwarf pea plants. If no dwarf plants appeared after five generations of tall plants crossed with short plants, one can hypothesize that the tall plants


Question 24 options:

A) were dominant
 
B) were homozygous
 
C) had the gene for dwarfness on the same chromosome
 
D) were heterozygous
