Gregor Mendel
Gregor Mendel's work was on the following species
Pisum sativum
How many alleles are found in a gene pair?
Two
In some genes, certainly alleles actually lead to unfortunate symptoms or conditions that may lead to death. What is this concept referred to as?
Lethality
The F2 dihybrid genotypic ratio of two dominant-recessive gene pairs is...
4:2:2:2:2:1:1:1:1
What is my least favorite season?
Winter
True or false: Mendel's work was not appreciated until after his death
True
The specific location of a gene on a chromosome is referred to as a:
Locus
Genetics does not always provide the ratios that Mendel suggests; in this case, a method is commonly used to compare the values obtained to what was expected. What is this concept referred to as?
Chi-Square Analysis
The duplicate recessive epistatic F2 phenotypic ratio is...
9:7
How many siblings do I have?
1
Mendel's experiments worked because he studied well-defined...
Characteristics
True or false: heterozygous allele pairs can only occur in dominant-recessive relationships.
False
In plant experiments, some F1 progeny are crossed with a parental genotype. What is this concept referred to as?
Backcross
The dominant and recessive epistatic F2 phenotypic ratio is...
13:3
What food am I allergic to?
Tree nuts
Mendel's First Law states that:
Alleles of each gene segregate so that half of gametes carry one allele and half carry the other
In two heterozygous gene pairs, how many possible gametes can be produced?
Four
Some genes influence more than one trait. What is this concept referred to as?
Pleiotropism
In a testcross with one homozygous gene pair, the genotypic ratio is...
1
My middle name is the first name of which of my family members?
My uncle
Mendel's Second Law states that:
Either allele of a gene pair can enter a gamete and all possible combinations are produced in equal proportions
Genes where one allele does not show dominance over another and produce phenotypes with two unique traits are considered...
Codominant
Individuals that have a particular genotype may or may not show the corresponding genotype. What is this concept referred to as?
Penetrance
For gene interaction with two genes in consideration, the F2 phenotypic ratio is...

What is my favorite soda?
Hint: it is a traditional soda but nontraditional flavor
Vanilla Coke
