Mendel’s Principles of Heredity 1) Why did Mendel perform reciprocal crosses? A) To obtain enough plants to perform the experiments that Mendel wanted. B) To test a hypothesis that stated the ovum carries all the information for progeny. C) To be able to breed plants year round. D) To determine whether the inheritance of a trait depends on which parent carries the trait. 2) What is the difference between cross - and self-fertilization? A) In cross -fertilization, the pollen from one plant is used to fertilize the egg from the same plant. B) In cross -fertilization, the pollen from one plant is used to fertilize the egg of another plant. plant. C) In self-fertilization, the pollen from one plant is used to fertilize the egg from another D) In cross -fertilization, insects are used to pollinate the plants, whereas in self - fertilization, the investigator pollinates the plants. 3) What is the outcome of crossing two pure -breeding plants with antagonistic characters of traits? A) Only one of the characteristics will be seen in the progeny. B) Both characteristics will be seen in the progeny. C) Both characteristics will be seen in the progeny in a 3:1 ratio. D) Only one characteristic will be seen, and it will be that of the female. 4) According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, A) alleles of genes assort into gametes grouped according to how they were inherited originally. B) dominant alleles for one gene must assort into the same gamete as the dominant alleles for another gene. C) alleles of genes on different chromosomes assort randomly into different gametes. D) dominant alleles for one gene must assort into the same gamete as the recessive alleles for another gene. 5) An S1S2 ×S1S2 mating is performed. If the phenotypic ratio of the progeny is 3:1, then A) one allele is dominant and the other is recessive. B) neither allele is dominant. C) the S1 allele is dominant to the S2 allele. D) the S2 allele is dominant to the S1 allele. E) the relationship between the alleles cannot be determined. 6) Which of the following probabilities is correct (according to Mendel's law of independent assortment) regarding a mating of an Ss RR individual to an individual who is Ss Rr ? (A – indicates the second allele is either dominant or recessive.) A) Homozygous recessive: 10% B) Heterozygous both alleles: 50% C) ss R– : 15.5% D) S– RR: 37.5% 7) What does the pattern of inheritance in this pedigree indicate about the rare disease allele? A) The disease allele is dominant. B) The disease allele is recessive. C) There is no indication that the disease allele is either dominant or recessive. D) The disease allele is not inherited but arises only by a new mutation in affected individuals. 8) alleles of the CF gene that result in cystic fibrosis are recessive to normal alleles because A) the protein produced by the normal allele in heterozygotes is sufficient for normal cellular function. B) the CF mutations that cause cystic fibrosis always result in no protein being produced. C) CF mutations result in a protein that has normal function only if normal CFTR protein also exists in the cell. D) dominant alleles that cause a fatal disorder, such as cystic fibrosis, cannot be inherited. 9) The reason that the HD allele that causes Huntington disease is dominant to HD+ alleles is that does. the normal HD allele does not normally produce a protein but the mutant HD allele A) the mutant HD allele suppresses protein production from the normal HD allele. B) the HD mutation results in a protein that can damage nerve cells even in the presence of the normal protein. C) the protein produced from the mutant HD allele is nonfunctional. 10) If an individual is heterozygous for only 7 of his gene pairs (he is homozygous for all of his other genes), how many different gamete types can he produce? A) 49 B) 100 C) 128 D) 1024 E) 131,072 11) In some genetically engineered corn plants, a Bt gene was inserted into a chromosome. The Bt gene specifies a protein called Bt that is lethal to certain flying insect pests that eat the corn plants. If the corn plant is heterozygous for the Bt gene (one homolog has the introduced Bt gene and the other does not), what proportion of the sperm would carry the Bt gene?
