Topics of this game:
  • Who is the father of genetics?
  • What is the genetic ratio of a monohybrid cross?
  • Sexual reproduction is responsible for the genetic variability within a species. Which of the following is true regarding how sexual reproduction differs from asexual reproduction?
  • Hemophilia is a sex-linked genetic disease involving the blood-clotting mechanisms. It is carried on the X chromosome. A female carrier of hemophilia (XhX) and a male who suffers from hemophilia (XhY) produce offspring. Out of all of their children, what is the likelihood that one would be a son who inherits hemophilia?
  • A breed of chicken shows codominance for feather color. One allele codes for black feathers, another codes for white feathers. Which of the following describes the codominant feathers?
  • Which of the following can best be determined by examining this karyotype
  • Jack looked at his garden of flowers. He counted 77 red flowers and 23 white. Which allele is recessive?
  • Which genotype is homozygous dominant?
  • Traits that are sex-lined are found on which of the following?
  • Which trait has multiple alleles?
  • Which genotype represents the heterozygous form for incomplete dominance?
  • Which term fits the description: a different form of a gene?
  • What is the phenotypic ratio of a dihybrid cross?
  • Which is a diagram of inheritance?
  • How is a dominant allele written?
  • What is a mouse with the genotype Bb?
  • Concerning blood type, an AO mates with a BO. What are the possible blood types of the offspring?
  • The study of heredity is ___________.
  • What does a Punnett square show?
  • If a homozygous black guinea pig () is crossed with a homozygous white guinea pig (), what is the probability that an offspring will have black fur?
  • An organism’s physical appearance is its
  • What does codominance mean in genetics?
  • The different forms of a gene are called
  • A carrier is a person who has
  • Females have which genotype
  • 2. In mussels, the allele for brown coloring (B) is dominant, and the allele for blue coloring (b) is recessive. For which parental genotypes are 100% of the offspring expected to be blue?
  • Many ranchers prefer cattle without horns. The presence or absence of horns is genetically determined. The allele for the absence of horns (A) is dominant to the allele for the presence of horns (a). A male with horns is mated with a heterozygous female without horns. What percentage of the offspring would be expected to have horns?
  • Hawaiian happy face spiders from the island of Maui can have different markings, as shown below. A single gene determines the markings on the spiders. Plain Spider Patterned Spider A plain spider is crossed with a patterned spider. The patterned spider is homozygous. The pattern allele is dominant to the plain allele. What percentage of the offspring from this cross are expected to be patterned instead of plain?
  • When two inherited alleles are expressed at the same time, which of the following is exhibited?
