100

This is the physical appearance of a trait.

(What is phenotype?)

100

Genotype or phenotype? “Tall.”

(What is phenotype?)

100

Complete the square: Tt × tt. What are the possible offspring genotypes?

(What are Tt and tt?)

100

In incomplete dominance, red (RR) × white (WW) = pink (RW). What % are pink?

(What is 100%?)

100

In peas, round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r), and yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y). If you cross RRYY × rryy, what is the genotype of all offspring?

(What is RrYy?)

200

Different versions of the same gene are called ____.

(What are alleles?)

200

Genotype or phenotype? “Tt.”

(What is genotype?)

200

In a Tt × Tt cross, what is the phenotypic ratio?

(What is 3 tall : 1 short?)

200

RW × RW cows (roan × roan). What ratio of red : roan : white is produced?

(What is 1 : 2 : 1?)

200

In the cross RrYy × RrYy, how many boxes will the Punnett square have?

(What is 16?)

300

Having two of the same alleles (AA or aa) is called ____.

(What is homozygous?)

300

A parent passes on “T” and another passes on “t.” What is the offspring’s genotype?  

(What is Tt?)

300

In a cross that produces 75% tall and 25% short, what were the parent genotypes?

(What is Tt × Tt?)

300

When neither allele is completely dominant, the result is ____.

(What is incomplete dominance?)

300

In peas, round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r), and yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y). In the cross RrYy × RrYy, what is the expected phenotypic ratio?

(What is 9 round yellow : 3 round green : 3 wrinkled yellow : 1 wrinkled green?)

400

This allele is hidden when a dominant allele is present.

(What is recessive?)

400

Is Tt homozygous or heterozygous?

(What is heterozygous?)

400

If TT = tall and tt = short, what % of Tt offspring will be tall?

(What is 100%?) 

400

In codominance, both alleles show. Give an example.

(What is roan cows, spotted dog, etc.?)

400

In peas, round (R) is dominant to wrinkled (r), and yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y). Two heterozygous pea plants (RrYy × RrYy) are crossed. What fraction of offspring are expected to be wrinkled and green?

(What is 1/16?)

500

This is the genetic makeup of an organism, represented by letters.

(What is genotype?)

500

If T = tall and t = short, what is the phenotype of Tt?

(What is tall?)

500

A heterozygous tall plant (Tt) is crossed with a homozygous tall plant (TT). What is the genotypic ratio?

(What is 2 TT : 2 Tt?)

500

This is an example of incomplete dominance. A cross produces 50% red and 50% pink snapdragons. What were the parents’ genotypes?

(What is RR × RW?)

500

A dihybrid cross RrYy × RrYy produces offspring. What is the probability of getting RrYy exactly?

(What is 4/16 or 1/4?)
