Topics of this game:
- What was Mendel’s primary model system?
- Prior to Mendel’s work, what was the belief that explained the inheritance of traits?
- Traits that result from the actions of many genes to determine a characteristic are an example of ___ variation. Traits that keep their distinctness and can be passed on are an example of ___ variation.
- If a true-breeding green pea pod and a true-breeding yellow pea pod are crossed, and offspring produced in the cross all display yellow colored pea pods, which allele is dominant, and which is recessive?
- In Mendel’s cross between true breeding violet flowers and true breeding white flowers in the P generation, how what color did the F1 hybrid flowers have?
- What color were the F2 hybrid flowers?
- What was the phenotypic ratio that Mendel found in the F2 plants following the self-fertilization of F1 plants?
- What was the genotypic ratio that Mendel found in the F2 plants following the self-fertilization of F1 plants?
- Focusing on the trait of flower color in the pea plants Mendel studied, what were the potential genotypes and what were the potential phenotypes?
- A test cross distinguishes the:
- Mendel’s Law that states that genes do not influence the way in which alleles are sorted into gametes, therefore all potential allele combinations have equal probability of occurring; is known as:
- Mendel’s Law that states that offspring have an equal likelihood of inheriting any combination of genes is known as:
- A test cross between a violet (dominant) flower and a white (recessive) flower, yields 50% of its offspring being violet and 50% of its offspring being white. What is the genotype of the dominant parent? Show your work a separate paper.
- A test cross between a violet (dominant) flower and a white (recessive) flower, yields only offspring with violet flowers. What is the genotype of the violet (dominant) parent? Show your work on a separate paper.
- In a cross between yellow (dominant) and green (recessive) colored pea pods, what are the possible genotypes that can be derived if F1 hybrids were crossed with each other? Show your work on a separate paper.
- In a cross between yellow (dominant) and green (recessive) colored pea pods, what are the phenotypes that can be derived if F1 hybrids are crossed with each other? Show your work on a separate paper.
- Perform a cross between a true breeding, yellow pea pod (dominant) and a true breeding green pea pod (recessive). What are the potential genotypes that can be derived from this cross? Show your work on a separate sheet of paper.
- In a cross between flower hybrids of true-breeding violet (dominant) and white (recessive) parents, what is the probability that that a violet F2 plant is homozygous? Show your work on a separate sheet of paper.
- In a cross between pea pod hybrids of true-breeding yellow (dominant) and green (recessive) parents, what is the probability that that a F2 pea pod is homozygous dominant or heterozygous? Show your work on a separate sheet of paper.
