No he called them particles at the time.

What is the dominant allele in this example? B or b
B

Which of these alleles is homozygous recessive? JJ Jj jj Why?
jj because we symbolize recessive traits with small letters.
200
Give an example of a phenotype?
Answers vary. Ex: Red, white, or purple flowers

What is the probability of flipping two coins and landing both on tails? Why?
1/4 or 25% because there are four sides to the coin and each coin has a probability of 1/2 to each side.

What would the dominant trait be in the following example for dimples? Bb (No Dimples) or bb (Dimples) Why?
Bb The large letter always symbolizes the dominant trait regardless of the other letter.

Hazel Eyes (Bb) - Dominant Blue Eyes (bb) - Recessive Right Hand (Ll) - Dominant Left Hand (ll) - Recessive Dimples (dd) - Recessive

Given the following: RR - Green Tail lizard Rr - Green Tail lizard rr - Yellow Tail lizard What is the homozygous recessive phenotype?
Yellow Tail lizard

What is the probability of shooting a 4 with one dice? Why?
1/6 because there are six sides and only 1 side has a four.
400
How many alleles come from our mothers?
1 (The other comes from our fathers)

If a male brown cow (Bb) mated with a female white cow (bb), would any white cows (bb) be born?
Yes

Given the following: BB - Large Mane Lion Bb - Large Mane Lion bb - Small Mane Lion What is the heterozygous genotype?
Bb

Which letter symbolizes a homozygous dominant trait for people who are tall?

Double Jeopardy If a male short winged fruit fly (BB) mated with a female long winged fruit fly (bb), what is the genotype of the male short winged fruit fly?
BB

What is the probability of shooting only evens on one dice? Why?
1/2 because there are 6 sides and there are 3 even numbers (2, 4, and 6). The probability would be 3/6 which is also equal to 1/2.
