INTRODUCTION OF GENETICS
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Which statement describes Mendel's hypotheses
regarding gametes?
A gamete carries one allele for a gene.
What controls traits and inheritance?
nucleic acids
Scientists often use fruit flies as a method to test
hypotheses about human genes. Why are fruit flies
advantageous in the study of human inheritance?
They reproduce quickly and take up little space.
The flowchart below shows the three generations of a
cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a
pea plant that has green pods. Yellow pods are the
dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that
describe the traits.

A, C, and D
Gregor Mendel's research formed the basis of the field
of
genetics.
What number should replace the letter x in the "Seed
color" row?

Nucleic acids offer variability because they contain
alternate forms of genes called
