Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 12
A. True Breeding
B. Allele
C. Recessive Allele
D. Monohybrid Cross
E. Dihybrid Cross
F. Autosomal Inheritance
CORRECT ANSWER
A. If an organism has a certain characteristic that is always passed on to its offspring, we say that
this organism bred true with respect to that characteristic.
B. One of a pair of genes that occupies the same position on homologous chromosomes.
C. An Allele that will not determine the phenotype unless the genotype is homozygous in that allele.
D. A cross between two individuals, concentrating on only one definable trait.
E. A cross between two individuals, concentrating on two definable traits.
F. Inheritance of a genetic trait not on a sex chromosome.
Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 12
State the principles of Mendelian genetics using the updated terminology.
CORRECT ANSWER
A. The traits of an organism are determined by packets of information called factors.
B. Each organism has not one but two allele that determines its traits.
C. In sexual reproduction, each parent contributes only one of its factors to the offspring.
D. In each definable trait, there is a dominant allele. If it exits in a organism the trait determined by
the dominant allele will be exposed.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 12
In humans, the ability to roll one's tongue is a dominant genetic trait. If R represent this allele and
"r" represents the recessive allele, what are the possible genotypes for a person who can roll his
tongue.
