What do we mean when we use the terms monohybrid cross and
dihybrid cross? - answer-A dihybrid cross involves organisms that are
heterozygous for two characters that are being studied, and a
monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for only
one character being studied.
What was the most significant conclusion that Gregor Mendel drew
from his experiments with pea plants? - answer-Traits are inherited
in discrete units and are not the results of "blending."
How many unique gametes could be produced through independent
assortment by an individual with the genotype AaBbCCDdEE? -
answer-8
The individual with genotype AaBbCCDdEE can make many kinds of
gametes. Which of the following is the major reason? - answer-
different possible assortment of chromosomes into gametes
Mendel continued some of his experiments into the F2 or F3
generation to _____. - answer-observe whether or not a recessive
trait would reappear
Which of the following statements about independent assortment
and segregation is correct? - answer-The law of independent
assortment requires describing two or more genes relative to one
another.
, A sexually reproducing animal has two unlinked genes, one for head
shape (H) and one for tail length (T). Its genotype is HhTt. Which of
the following genotypes is possible in a gamete from this organism? -
answer-HT
Mendel accounted for the observation that traits that had
disappeared in the F1 generation reappeared in the F2 generation by
proposing that _____. - answer-traits can be dominant or recessive,
and the recessive traits were obscured by the dominant ones in the
F1
The fact that all seven of the pea plant traits studied by Mendel
obeyed the principle of independent assortment most probably
indicates which of the following? - answer-All of the genes
controlling the traits behaved as if they were on different
chromosomes.
Mendel's observation of the segregation of alleles in gamete
formation has its basis in which of the following phases of cell
division? - answer-anaphase I of meiosis
Mendel's second law of independent assortment has its basis in
which of the following events of meiosis I? - answer-alignment of
tetrads at the equator
dihybrid cross? - answer-A dihybrid cross involves organisms that are
heterozygous for two characters that are being studied, and a
monohybrid cross involves organisms that are heterozygous for only
one character being studied.
