Genetics Test

How do you set up a Punnett Square for a single trait (mono-hybrid) Cross?

How do you set up a two (Di-hybrid) trait Punnett Square?

How does the Foil method Work for finding possible gametes of the parents complete genotype?

When do you use the FOIL Method?

Sample Problem single trait cross:
In a particular type of fish, a "G" allele produces green scales, which is completely dominant over the "g" allele which produces blue scales. What are the genotypic and phenotypic ratios from a cross between two heterozygous fish?

Sample Problem Two Trait Cross (Di-Hybrid Cross): In pigs, curly tails (C) are dominant over straight tails (c). Pink color (P) is dominate over gray (p). You are to cross a male pig that is homozygous dominate for both traits with a female pig that is homozygous recessive for type of tail and heterozygous for body color, then determine the phenotypes and Genotypes.

Which event during meiosis introduces genetic variation between parents and offspring?

What is independent assortment?

In what way do the products of meiosis differ from the products of mitosis?

What is the end result of meiosis?

Gametes contain half the number of chromosomes that other cells in the body contain. When are gametes produced in organisms?

A researcher demonstrates that fish species in a freshwater aquatic environment show genetic variation in each generation. Which property in fish species explains this variation?

Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?

Why do members of a certain population have differences in appearance?

What process result in egg cells with genetic composition that are different than the female parent?

What is the genetic significance of crossing over during meiosis?

What does Heterozygous mean?

What does Homozygous mean?
