Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

Mendel believed that the characteristics of pea plants were determined by the inheritance units or factors from both parents. c. An allele is one of several possible forms of a gene. d. When the genotype consists of a dominant and recessive allele, the phenotype will be like the dominant allele.
In a cross between short and tall plants, the F1 are all as short as their short parents. In the F2, roughly three quarters of the plants are short, while the rest are tall. Which is most accurate? a. Inheritance is particulate and tall is dominant to short. b. Inheritance is particulate and short is dominant to tall. c. Inheritance is particulate and neither trait is dominant. d. Inheritance is blending. e. Inheritance is not Mendelian.
A fungus with white spores cross fertilizes a fungus with black spores. If 10% of the progeny bear white spores while 90% of the progeny bear black spores, what must be true? A. The trait for spore color is determined by exactly one gene. B. The trait for spore color is determined by more than one gene. C. The allele for black spores is dominant over that for white spores. D. The allele for white spores is dominant over that for black spores. Photo attatched
A fungus with white spores cross fertilizes a fungus with black spores. If 10% of the progeny bear white spores while 90% of the progeny bear black spores, what must be true? A. The trait for spore color is determined by exactly one gene. B. The trait for spore color is determined by more than one gene. C. The allele for black spores is dominant over that for white spores. D. The allele for white spores is dominant over that for black spores.

By being heterozygous for that genotype C. It is not possible to get the recessive phenotype in Mendelian genetics D. If one parent is homozygous recessive for that trait, any offspring are guaranteed the recessive phenotype E. By being homozygous dominant for that genotype
A cross between a horse homozygous for red hair and a horse homozygous for white hair results in offspring with the coat colour called roan. When you look at the fur of the roan offspring you see both red and white hairs. What type of inheritance best explains this? a) blending inheritance b)codominance c)incomplete codominance d)multiple alleles
The pedigree below represents which individuals in a given family have attached earlobes. Unattached earlobes are dominant over attached earlobes.Which of the following statements is true of the pedigree? a Individuals 8 and 9 are heterozygous for the trait. b Individuals 1, 2, 3, and 4 have attached earlobes. c Individuals 6, 7, and 10 are male. d Individuals 11 and 12 are identical twins
In an example of recessive epistasis the deposition of pigment into hair follicles of the Labrador Retriever is governed by a dominant gene (C) and lack of deposition by its recessive allele (c). Lack of pigment deposition produces a yellow coat color. The color of pigment is governed by an independently assorting hypostatic gene, the dominant allele (B) produces black pigment and its recessive allele (b) produces brown. What coat color ratio is expected from the cross of a brown dog (bbCc) to a black dog (BbCc)? 3/8 black, 1/8 brown, 1/2 yellow 3/8 black, 3/8 brown, 1/4 yellow 1/2 brown, 1/2 black 1/2 black, 1/4 brown, 1/4 yellow 1/4 black, 1/4 brown, 1/2 yellow
Fruit flies are very useful model organisms that have been used to study genetics. One mutant recessive trait in fruit flies is called "eyeless" because it causes flies to have no eyes. Cross an eyeless fly with a homozygous normal fly. a. Draw the Punnett square. b. What is the genotyoe ratio of the offspring? c. What is the phenotype ratio of the offspring? d. What genetic problem is this? (monohybrid, dihybrid or multiple allele)
In sheep, coat color is influenced by two genes. Gene A influences pigment production, while gene B produces black or brown pigment. If two heterozygous white sheep resulted in 12 white sheep, 3 black sheep, and 1 brown sheep, which genotype(s) of the white sheep explain this data? A) The white sheep could be A-B- or aaB-. B) The white sheep could be A_B_ or aabb. C) The white sheep could be A_B_ or A_bb. D) The white sheep must all be aabb. E) The white sheep must all be A_B_.
In guineapigs, an allele for rough fur (R) is dominant over an allele for smooth fur (r); an allele for black coat (B) is dominant over that for white (b). You have an animal with rough, black fur. What cross would you use to determine whether the animal is homozygous for these traits? What phenotype would you expect the offspring if the animal is homozygous?
Imagine that Mendel is tending a garden of 100 pea plants. He has 20 plants that are homozygous for the purple allele, 50 plants that are heterozygous, and 30 plants that are homozygous for the white allele. A) What is the frequency of the purple (P) allele? B) What is the frequency of the white (p) allele?
