Genetics review homework
Please answer these questions in complete sentences on a separate sheet of paper.
1.
Describe the experiments that Gregor Mendel conducted (what steps of the scientific method did he follow?). How did he set them up and what results did he get in each generation? Why did he get these results? What conclusion did he come to based on his results?
2.
What are genes and alleles? What are some examples of each?
3.
Explain what dominant and recessive alleles are. Which of these show up when both alleles are present? What alleles must an organism have in order for recessive traits to show up?
4.
What are genotypes and phenotypes and how do these relate to each other? What are some examples of these?
5.
What does homozygous and heterozygous mean? Provide examples of each of these genotypes. What traits will organisms show based on whether they are homozygous or heterozygous?
6.
What are codominant alleles? What does it mean to say that alleles show incomplete dominance? What are some examples of these?
