2 |
|
When Gregor Mendel crossed a true-breeding tall plant with a true-breeding short plant, the F1 plants inherited... |

Both parents contributed the recessive allele to the offspring |
|
How many different phenotypes would result from a cross between two heterozygous tall plants? |
2 |
|
If the gene for seed color (yellow is dominant-green is recessive) and the gene for the seed shape (round is dominant-wrinkled is recessive) were crossed, which of the following would result in a plant that has green seeds that are round? |
yyRr |
|
In the P generation, a true-breeding tall plant (dominant) was crossed with a true-breeding short plant. The genotype(s) of the F1 offspring would include |
Tt |
|
Gregor Mendel removed the male parts (stamens) from the flowers of some plants in order to... |
Prevent cross-pollination |
|
Offspring that result from crosses between true-breeding parents with different traits... |
Are called hybrids |
|
if a yellow pea plant has a recessive allele for green peas, it can produce... |
Green peas if it crossed with a green plant and green peas if it is crossed with a green pea plant |
|
Which of the following is not a homozygous genotype? |
Tt |
|
The principles of probability can be used to |
Predict the traits of the offspring produced by genetic crosses |
|
If two genes are on the same chromosome they are said to be... |
Linked |
|
When Gregor Mendel crossed true0breeding purple-flowered plants with true-breeding white-flowered plants, all the offspring were purple because... |
The allele for purple-flowered plants is dominant |
|
When alleles segregate from each other, they join. |
False |
|
A cross between an individual with an unknown genotype but dominant phenotype and a homozygous recessive individual is called a testcross. |
True |
|
An organism that is heterozygous for a particular character will generally show the recessive trait. |
