When Mendel crossed purebred pea plants having green pods with purebred pea plants having yellow pods, the offspring were all

Hybrid peas with all green pods

Alleles for a dominant trait are represented with  _______ letters.

Uppercase

100

What is the process by which organisms with certain adaptations survive to pass on their traits to a greater number of offspring?

Natural Selection

100

Both traits are present in hybrid offspring, but without blending

Codominance

What was Darth Vadar's real name?

Anakin Skywalker

200

The pod color of pea plants is controlled by only one gene that has only two possible alleles

Simple dominance

200

A Tt plant is crossed with a tt plant. What genotype(s) would you expect the offspring to have?

Some Tt and some tt

200

True or False: Natural selection has been observed to create new kinds of organisms

False

200

Different forms of genes that result in different traits are known as ______.

Alleles

200

Which of the following is an example of codominance?

  1. Pink snapdragon flower color

  2. Crossing a tall plant and a short plant to produce a medium plant 

  3. Crossing a pea plant with round seeds and a pea plant with wrinkled seeds to produce a pea plant with round seeds

  4. Crossing a white horse and a black house to produce a horse with both black hairs and white hairs

Crossing a white horse and a black house to produce a horse with both black hairs and white hairs

Gregor Mendel used pea plants to study heredity for all of the following reasons except  

  1. That it was relatively easy to cross different pea plants in order to observe the resulting offspring

  2. That their characters, like pod and color and height, were easy to observe 

  3. That the characters Mendel studied had at least two identifiable traits

  4. That many characters such as pod color and seed shape were controlled by a dozen or more interacting genes

That many characters such as pod color and seed shape were controlled by a dozen or more interacting genes

If a father is purebred for the dominant trait of dimples (DD) and a mother is purebred for not having dimples (dd), then you should expect the couple’s children

To all be Dd

Where do creationists and evolutionists disagree on the effects of natural selection?

Creationists do not believe that natural selection is able to allow all creatures to descend from an original common ancestor.

300

Two traits produce a blended phenotype

Incomplete dominance

300

Which of the following is a phenotype?

  1. Bb

  2. Black fur 

  3. A pea plant

  4. A Punnett square

Black fur

400

Which of the following is not one of Mendel’s three principles of heredity?

  1. In a cross of purebred parents, all offspring will show the dominant trait

  2. In a cross of hybrid parents, all offspring will also be hybrid

  3. Two alleles for a parent’s gene separate and then each combines with an allele from the other parent to determine the offspring’s trait

  4. Each allele is passed to the offspring independently of the other alleles

In a cross of hybrid parents, all offspring will also be hybrid

A population of foxes migrates into a desert region. The number of foxes with larger ears is most likely to....

Increase

400

Where do creationists and evolutionists agree on the effects of natural selection?

Natural selection affects populations and that those populations do change when the environment favors certain traits.

400

A gene has more than two possible alleles

Multiple alleles

Which movie series is Miss Robinson currently watching through? 

1. Star Wars

2. Twilight

3. Harry Potter

4. Hunger Games

Staw Wars

 A purebred pea plant with green pods (PP) is crossed with a hybrid pea plant with green pods (Pp). What is the probability that an offspring will be hybrid?

50%

500

The allele for tall pea plants is dominant over the allele for short pea plants. Suppose a hybrid plant is crossed with another hybrid pea plant. Create a Punnett square for the cross.

Insert regular hybrid Punnett square here

How does natural selection affect a population differently than genetic drift does?

Natural Selection causes the traits that best help an organism to survive and reproduce to be passed on more frequently. Genetic drift is random and unpredictable. 

500

Two or more genes interact to produce a single trait

Polygenic inheritance

500

Genetic drift would most likely occur in which of the following populations?

  1. A greenhouse of snapdragons

  2. An orchid with thousands of orange trees

  3. A pea plant farm

  4. A petting zoo with a dozen pygmy goats
