Question 1

Mendel’s first law of inheritance

Answer 1

Law of segregation

Question 2

Mendel’s second law of inheritance

Answer 2

Law of independent assortment

Question 3

Mendel’s third law of inheritance

Answer 3

Law of dominance

Question 4

Law of segregation

Answer 4

When gametes form, alleles are separated so that each gamete carries only one allele for each gene

Question 5

Law of independent assortment

Answer 5

The segregation of alleles for one gene occurs independently to that of any other gene

Question 6

Law of dominance

Answer 6

Some alleles are dominant while others are recessive; an organism with at least one dominant allele will display the effect of the dominant allele.

Question 7

Allele

Answer 7

Alternative form of a gene (one member of a pair) that is located at the same place on a chromosome

Question 8

Exception of the law of independent assortment

Answer 8

When linked genes occur

Question 9

How identical is the DNA of any two people?

Answer 9

~99.4%

Question 10

Environment and DNA

Answer 10

Environment determine how some of these genetic differences affect us
