Genetics/Meiosis
1. What is Meiosis?
2. What is the differences between Meiosis and Mitosis?
3. When Gregor Mendel crossed true-breeding (purebred) tall plants with truebreeding short plants, all the offspring were tall because…..?
4. What is the genotype of the box with the question mark?

5. Black coats are dominant. When a black mouse that is homozygous for coat
color is crossed with a white mouse that is homozygous for coat color, all of the
F1 generation offspring have black coats. What are the expected genotypes and
phenotypes of coat color in the F2 generation?
6. Ultraviolet radiation can cause mutations in the DNA of skin cells that have
been overexposed to the sun. WHY does the mutated DNA have no effect on
future offspring?
7. Hairy feet are dominant to bald feet in hobbits. A hobbit that is homozygous for
hairy feet is crossed with a hobbit with bald feet. What are the genotypes of the
offspring produced?

be RSTU?
