DIRECTIONS: Answer the questions below as completely and as thoroughly as possible. Answer the question in essay form (not outline form), using complete sentences. You may use diagrams or pictures to supplement your answers, but a diagram or picture alone without appropriate discussion is inadequate.
1. State the two laws of heredity that resulted from Mendel’s work.
2. What happens during meiosis that would allow genes located on the same chromosome to separate independently of one another?
3. List the steps in Mendel’s experiments on pea plants. Include the P generation, F1 generation, and F2 generation.
4. Write the equation for probability.
5. Distinguish between codominance and incomplete dominance. Give an example of each type of inheritance.
6. Define the terms, dominant and recessive.
7. Relate the events of meiosis to the law of segregation.
8. Explain the difference between a monohybrid cross and dihybrid cross. Give an example of each.
9. Explain how you would use a Punnett square to predict the probable outcome of a monohybrid cross. Draw a Punnett square to demonstrate your monohybrid cross.
10. Explain the terms genotype and phenotype.
11. Explain the terms homozygous and heterozygous.
