1 HA Introduction to Genetics Practice Exam True/False Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 1. Genetics is the branch of biology that involves the study of how different traits are transmitted from one generation to the next. 2. Mendel discovered predictable patterns in the inheritance of traits. 3. Plants in Mendel s P generation were all heterozygous. 4. Mendel based his principles on his observations of pea plants. 5. The scientific study of heredity is called genetics. 6. In Mendel s experiments with the flower color of pea plants, only the parental generation produced white flowers. 7. A dominant allele masks the effect of a recessive allele. 8. Mendel concluded that the patterns of inheritance are determined entirely by the environment. 9. The law of independent assortment was proposed by Mendel to explain his observations of inheritance patterns. 10. Genes on chromosomes are the units of inheritance. 11. The allele for a recessive trait is usually represented by a capital letter. 12. A Mendelian factor is equivalent to an allele. 13. Current scientific knowledge supports Mendel s principles. 14. Heterozygous individuals have two of the same alleles for a particular gene. 15. In heterozygous individuals, only the recessive allele achieves expression. 16. A Punnett square represents the phenotype of an organism. 17. Probability is the likelihood that a certain event will occur. 18. A probability of 1/4 is equal to a probability of 75 percent. 19. The physical appearance of an individual organism, as determined by the genes it has inherited from its parents, is called its genotype. 20. The dominant allele for tallness in pea plants is represented by the letter t. 21. Individuals must exhibit a trait in order for it to appear in their offspring. 22. In codominance, two alleles are expressed at the same time. 23. All genes have only two alleles. 24. A dihybrid cross involves two pairs of contrasting traits. 25. Crosses involving a study of one gene are called monohybrid crosses. Multiple Choice Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. 26.

Mendel s finding that the inheritance of one trait had no effect on the inheritance of another became known as the a. law of dominance. c. law of separate convenience. b. law of universal inheritance. d. law of independent assortment. 35. To describe how traits can disappear and reappear in a certain pattern from generation to generation, Mendel proposed a. the law of independent assortment. b. the law of segregation. c. the law of genotypes. d. that the F 2 generation will only produce purple flowers. 36. The law of segregation states that a. alleles of a gene separate from each other during meiosis. b. different alleles of a gene can never be found in the same organism. c. each gene of an organism ends up in a different gamete. d. each gene is found on a different molecule of DNA. 37. When Mendel crossed pea plants with two contrasting traits, such as flower color and plant height, a. these experiments led to his law of segregation. b. he found that the inheritance of one trait did not influence the inheritance of the other trait. c. he found that the inheritance of one trait influenced the inheritance of the other trait. d. these experiments were considered failures because the importance of his work was not recognized. 38.
