Question 1

Two important scientists for Mendel

Answer 1

1. Christian Doppler
2. ranz Unger

Question 1

Character

Answer 1

A heritable trait that varies among individuals

Question 2

Trait

Answer 2

Each variant for character

Question 3

Advantage of using peas as model organisms

Answer 3

1. Many varieties
2. Short generation time
3. Large number of offspring
4. Strictly control mating

Question 4

True-breeding

Answer 4

These plants produce identical offspring (homozygous for genes)

Question 5

Hybridization

Answer 5

Crossing of two true-breeding varieties

Question 6

Alelles

Answer 6

Alternative versions of a gene

Question 7

4 things that make up Mendel’s model

Answer 7

1. Alternative versions of genes account for variations in inherited characteristics
2. For each character, an organism inherits two traits (one from each parent)
3. Dominant vs recessive
4. Law of segregation

Question 8

What do we cross a sample of unknown phenotype with in a test-cross?

Answer 8

Homozygote recessive

Question 9

Monohybrid cross

Answer 9

Cross between monohybrids

Question 10

Monohybrid

Answer 10

Heterozygous for one character

Question 11

Pleiotropy

Answer 11

One gene influences one or more trait

Question 12

Two types of scenarios where multiple genes code for a trait

Answer 12

1. Epistasis (interact)
2. Polygenic inheritance (do not interact)

Question 13

Say epistatic 5 times

Answer 13

.

Question 14

Example of polygenic inheritance
