If a man has blood type O and his wife has blood type AB, what blood types are possible among their children?
What are type A and type B?

This is the reason why recessive lethal genetic disorders are more common than dominant lethal disorders.
What is because people with dominant lethal disorders rarely live long enough to pass on the gene?

Meaning: "To throw out a window"
What is defenestrate?
200
The principle that a parent will only pass on one of their two alleles for a particular gene.
What segregation?

Name this type of inheritance
In labrador retriever coat color is controlled by two genes. In gene one, black coat is dominant to brown coat. The second gene controls the expression of the first coat color gene. Dogs that are homozygous recessive for the second gene will have a yellow coat color regardless of which alleles they carry for the first gene.
What is epistasis?

The observation that the offspring are 100% purple when you cross a purebred purple with a purebred white is an example of this principle.
What is the principle of dominance?
300
The ABO blood group represents these two variations on Mendel's laws.
What are co-dominance (Type AB) and multiple alleles (Three possible alleles: A, B, and O)?
300
In mice, agouti coat color is co-dominant. Hairs, when viewed under a microscope are grey at the base and white at the tip. An agouti mouse will result from a cross between a black parent and a white parent. If two agouti mice reproduced, what would be the expected phenotypic ratio of their offspring?
What is 1 Black : 2 Agouti : 1 white?
300
Based on the pedigree below, a researcher would feel confident concluding that the inheritance is...
Autosomal (inherited) recessive
- recessive because boy in generation III has it but his parents do not so they must be carrying it and hiding it (hence recessive)
- Autosomal (inherited) because since the daughter in generation II has the recessive trait, it can't be on her X chromosome or else the father would have it as well.

What is Scrabble?
400
The principle stating that when two or more characteristics are inherited, the inheritance of one trait has no impact on the inheritance of the other traits, giving different traits an equal opportunity of occurring together.
What is independent assortment?
400
Skin color, height, and other characteristics that vary in a population along a continuum often represent this variation to Mendel's principles.
What is polygenic inheritance?
400
Consider the following traits: Widow's peak (P) is dominant to straight hair (p) and Tongue twisting (t) is recessive to a non-twister. If a person who is PpTt has children with a person who is ppTt, what proportion of their offspring will have a widow's peak but be unable to twist their tongue?
What is 1/8th?

A farmer discovers an oddity among his sheep where some of the sheep have abnormally large eyes and bowed legs. Crosses of these sheep show that 1/3 of the offspring have a normal phenotype and 2/3 have the abnormal phenotype. What is the best explanation for the type of inheritance that occurs here?
The allele is lethal in its dominant form
