BSC 1010 Exam 4 2025/2026 Exam
Questions and Answers | A+ Score
Assured
How are the features/characteristics of an organisms dictated? - 🧠
ANSWER ✔✔By genes inherited from the parents.
Genome - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the complete instructions for making an
organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organism's
chromosomes
Key to gene function - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Information/instructions to produce
proteins.
Blending Inheritance Theory - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Theory that the traits of
parents were blended together to result in an equal distribution of traits in
their offspring. Ex. Parents could have 2 different skin tones and the child
may have a blend of both.
,Gregor Mendel - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Father of genetics
Mendel's Pea Plant Experiment - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Mendel studied genetic
inheritance through this experiment. he cross bred pea plants with different
characteristics and observed how those traits were inherited in the
offspring. some of these traits were found to be inherited in predictable
ratios depending on the phenotype and genotype of the parents.
True Breeders are - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔homozygous
Genotype - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An organism's genetic makeup, or allele
combinations.
Phenotype - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An organism's physical appearance, or visible
traits.
Gregor Mendel did what to the blending inheritance theory? - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔Falsified the hypothesis of blending inheritance.
Mendel's 1st Law: Segregation of Alternate Factors - 🧠 ANSWER
✔✔Summary of meiosis but Mendel did not know of cell theory. Taking true
breeding parents (P generation) to create Hybrids (F1 generation) that
, would eventually lead to ratio of 3:1 in favor of purple flowers (F2
generation).
Factors - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔genes; separated during gametogenesis
Allele - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Different forms of a gene
Locus - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Location of a gene on a chromosome
Dominant Trait (Capital) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔In Mendel's pea plant
experiment, the purple flower was the dominant trait since the hybrid and
most of its offspring were purple.
Recessive Trait (Lowercase) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔In Mendel's pea plant
experiment, the white flower was the recessive trait since it did not show up
in the hybrid and was the less common phenotype of the hybrids offspring.
Homozygous - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Homo = same, zygous = zygote. True
breeding parents (PP or pp)
Heterozygous - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔An organism that has two different alleles
for a trait. (Pp)
Probability Rules (Addition Rule) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The occurrence of
mutually exclusive events equals the sum of their individual probabilities;
