  1. 1. In pea plants, spherical seeds (S) are dominant to dented seeds (s). In a genetic cross of two plants that are heterozygous for the seed shape trait, what fraction of the offspring should have spherical seeds?
  2. a. Answer: D (3/4)
  3. 2. A phenotypic ratio of 3:1 in the offspring of a mating of two organisms heterozygous for a single trait is expected when:
  4. a. Answer: A (the alleles segregate during meiosis)
  5. 3. In Mendel's "Experiment 1," true-breeding pea plants with spherical seeds were crossed with true-breeding plants with dented seeds. (Spherical seeds are the dominant characteristic.) Mendel collected the seeds from this cross, grew F1-generation plants, let them self-pollinate to form a second generation, and analyzed the seeds of the resulting F2 generation. The results that he obtained, and that you would predict for this experiment are:
  6. a. Answer: E (All the F1 and 3/4 of the F2 generation seeds were spherical)
  7. 4. A genetic cross between two F1-hybrid pea plants for spherical seeds will yield what percent spherical-seeded plants in the F2 generation? (Recall, spherical-shaped seeds are dominant over dented seeds.)
  8. a. Answer: B (75%)
  9. 5. A genetic cross between two F1-hybrid pea plants having yellow seeds will yield what percent green-seeded plants in the F2 generation? Yellow seeds are dominant to green.
  10. a. Answer: B (25%)
  11. 6. When true-breeding tall stem pea plants are crossed with true-breeding short stem pea plants, all of the _________ plants, and 3/4 of the __________ plants had tall stems. Therefore, tall stems are dominant.
  12. a. Answer: A (F1, F2)
  13. 7. To identify the genotype of yellow-seeded pea plants as either homozygous dominant (YY) or heterozygous (Yy), you could do a test cross with plants of genotype _______.
  14. a. Answer: C (yy)
  15. 8. A test cross is used to determine if the genotype of a plant with the dominant phenotype is homozygous or heterozygous. If the unknown is homozygous, all of the offspring of the test cross have the __________ phenotype. If the unknown is heterozygous, half of the offspring will have the __________ phenotype.
  16. a. Answer: D (dominant, recessive)
