Quarterly Progress Assessment #2
Review Sheet
A. Punnett Squares and Genetics
1. Define the following terms:
Recessive
6. Brown eyes are dominant to blue eyes. A blue eyed
dad (bb) and a brown eyed mom (Bb) have children.
What is the probability that the children will have blue
eyes?
Dominant
Allele
Practice Problems –
2. Tall pea plant are dominant to short pea plants. What
are the chances that two pea plants that are Tt will have
offspring that are short? Write a sentence to explain
how 2 tall plants can have short offspring.
3. Two tall pea plants have some offspring that are
short. Explain how this can happen by using a Punnett
square AND by writing a sentence using the word
dominant OR recessive.
4. A tall plant (Tt) and a short plant (tt) have two sweet
baby plants that are both short. Explain how this can
happen using a Punnett square AND by writing a
sentence using the word allele.
5. A tall pea plant and a short pea plant have some
offspring that are short. What are the genotypes of the
parents?
7. What was Gregor Mendel’s most important
contribution to the study of genetics?
8. How many chromosome do humans have? How many
chromosomes (traits) does a person get from each
parent? Why is it that sometimes a child might
resemble one parent more than the other?
B. – Selective Breeding – Write a short paragraph
describing what selective breeding is and give some
examples.
C. – Mitosis and Meiosis

G. – Classification
1. Write the levels of classification from broadest to
most specific. Now memorize this order. Which group
has the most similarities? The least similarities?
