Ch 11.1 Assessment
1. What did Mendel conclude determines biological inheritance?
2. What are dominant and recessive alleles?
3. Why were true-breeding pea plants important for Mendel’s experiments?
4. What is segregation?
5. What happens to alleles between the P generation and the F2 generation?
6. What evidence did Mendel use to explain how segregation occurs?
7. Use a diagram to explain Mendel’s principles of dominance and segregation. Your diagram should
show how alleles segregate during gamete formation.
