Quiz On Mendelian Genetics

Quiz on Mendelian Genetics
A. Knowledge. Identify the term/s being

referred to in the following statements.
1. What cell structure is responsible for passing
traits from one parent to offspring?
2. It is the actual genetic makeup of an
organism?
3. How many chromosomes does human have?
4. It is a pair of alleles that are the same.
5. It is a segment in a DNA that determines a
trait.
6 .It is the principle of Mendelian Genetics
wherein inheritance of one trait has no effect on
the inheritance of another trait.
5. It is a principle of Mendelian Genetics wherein
the dominant trait masked the recessive trait.
6. These are several different forms of a gene.
7. It is a principle of Mendel where in a
particular trait, the pair of alleles of each parent
separate and only one allele from each parent
passes to an offspring.
8. It is the allele that masked the recessive allele.
9. It is the physical appearance resulting from
the genetic make-up.
10. It is a pair of alleles that are different, one
dominant and one recessive.
B. Process. Analyze each statement
carefully. Then, answer briefly and concisely.
1. Suppose that a certain genetic disorder is
caused by a dominant gene found in the X
chromosome. Can two parents suffering from the
said genetic disorder have normal daughter?
Explain. (2 points)
2. Assuming that both parent plants in the
diagram below are homozygous, why would all of
the f1 generation have yellow phenotypes? (2
points)
5. In rabbits, grey hair (G) is dominant to white

hair (g). Also in rabbits, black eyes (B) are
dominant to red eyes (b). A male rabbit with the
genotype homozygous dominant grey hair and
homozygous recessive red eyes is crossed with a
female rabbit with the genotype homozygous
recessive white hair and heterozygous eye color.
Give the percentages of all possible offspring
(genotype with phenotype). (4points)
