MODULE 7: GENETICS
TEST WITH ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS.
, Genetics - correct ans:The pattern of inheritance between generations via
sexual reproduction
true-breeding organisms - correct ans:Organisms that produce offspring that
appear identical to parents for a specific trait
Law of Segregation - correct ans:Alleles separate in gamete formation; each
gamete gets only one allele
Phenotype - correct ans:Visible physical chracteristic
Genotype - correct ans:Genetic makeup; combination of alleles
Homozygous - correct ans:The identical alleles for a given trait (true
breeding)
Heterozygous - correct ans:Different alleles for a given trait
Dominate - correct ans:The allele expressed in a heterozygous individual
(upper case)
Recessive - correct ans:The allele NOT expressed in a heterozygous
individual (lower case)
Punnett Square - correct ans:A tool used to track potential genotype
combinations during gamete formation
Human genetic conditions - correct ans:Autosomes
non sex chromosomes; pairs 1-22
