2. In Mendel’s experiments with pea plants, pure yellow seeds (YY) were crossed with pure
green seeds (yy). Draw a punnet square or checkerboard to show why all the first generation
(F1) plants had yellow seeds. Show why the F2 plants were ¾ yellow seeded and ¼ were green
seeded.
3. (a) If R represents the allele for a round seed and the r allele gives wrinkled seeds, which of the
genotypes Rr, RR and rr represents
(i) homozygous round seed
(ii) heterozygous round seed
(iii) homozygous wrinkled seed ?
(b) is it possible to get a heterozygous wrinkled seed ? Explain.
4. A particular species of plants can have red or white flowers. Red is the dominant gene.
(i)
Pure red flowered plants are crossed with hybrid (mixed) red flowered plants. What
% of the F1 offspring would be red ?
(ii)
If RR plants are crossed with rr plants, what % of the F1 would be red ? What %
would be white ?
(iii)
If 2 heterozygous red flowered plants are crossed, what would be the ratio of red
flowered offspring to white flowered offspring ?
5. Albinism is a hereditary condition where skin pigments are not formed. Normal skin
pigmentation (P) dominates over albinism (p)
(i)
What are the possible genotypes for a person with normal skin pigmentation ?
(ii)
What are the possible genotypes for a person with albinism ?
(iii)
If the first child of a couple with normal phenotypes is an albino, what are the
chances that their second child will also be an albino ?
6. Name 5 human traits.
7. How many genes do you have for each trait ?
8. In order to show a recessive trait like blue eyes, what would your genotype be ?
9. Describe the structure of DNA. How do the bases join ?
10. Give 3 examples of genetic engineering ?
11. Humans have _______ chromosomes in ________ pairs.
12. How many chromosomes are found in gametes ? Why ? Name the process that makes gametes.
13. Describe how fraternal twins are related ?
14. What happens in cell division in body cells ? Name this process.
15. What is the difference between genotypes and phenotype ?
16. Draw your family’s pedigree for eye colour (grandparents, parents, you, your siblings)
17. Explain how DNA, chromosomes and genes are related ?
18. Draw a punnet square to show the cross between a sufferer of Huntington’s Disease with a
normal person. The gene for Huntington’s is dominant (H), over the recessive (h) gene.
19. What does variation mean ?
20. A pedigree chart showing the inheritance of the dominant Huntington’s allele.
