Things you need to know for the test
1. Distinguish between genes and alleles.
2. Be able to correctly set up and interpret a Punnett Square using a
word problem: If a homozygous tall pea plant is crossed with a
homozygous short pea plant, what is the genotypic and phenotypic
ratio?
3. Distinguish between genotype and phenotype.
4. Understand the difference between complete dominance, incomplete
dominance and co dominance. Give an example of each and solve
Punnett Squares for each.
5. What do scientists use electrophoresis for in the study of DNA?
6. What is a transgenic organism? How have transgenic organisms been
useful?
7. What is a clone?
8. What is selection pressure? Give an example.
9. What is relative frequency? Give an example.
10.List the types of isolation that cause speciation.
11.Describe speciation.
12.What is a bell curve?
13.Draw each type of selection bell curve.
14.Be able to tell what type of selection is happening in word problems.
