Question 1

mendelian genetics: Breeding pea plants

Answer 1

Pea plants have multiple traits
pea plants are small and easy to grow
peas can cross fertilize or self fertillize

Question 2

monohybrid cross experimental design

Answer 2

-parent generation
(true breeding)
-f1 generation
(showed dominant trait)
f2 generation
3/4 dominant phenotype
1/4 recessive form

Question 3

monohybrid cross f3 generation

Answer 3

1:2:1
1 true breeding dominant plant
2 not true breeding dominant plants
1 true breeding recessive plant

Question 4

conclusions

Answer 4

parents transmit discrete factors (genes)
-genes do not mix
a gene may have different forms called alleles
homozygous
heterozygous

Question 5

homozygous

Answer 5

having 2 of the same allele (true breeding)

Question 6

heterozygous

Answer 6

having 2 different alleles ( non true breeding)

Question 7

geneotype

Answer 7

total set of alleles an individual contains

Question 8

phenotype

Answer 8

physical appearance

Question 9

principle of segregation

Answer 9

-each individual receives one copy of a gene from each parent
-chromosomes segregate during meiosis
-indivudals are diploid
