- Multiple Choice
In the study of genetics the offspring of the parental generation is referred to as the:
- Multiple ChoiceThe F1 generation differed from the F2 in Mendel's experiments in that __________.
- Multiple ChoiceIn Mendel's monohybrid cross of purple-flowered and white-flowered peas, all members of the F1 generation had the __________ phenotype because their genotype was __________ at the flower-color locus.
- Multiple ChoiceIf a heterozygous plant is allowed to self-pollinate, what proportion of the offspring will also be heterozygous?
- Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following properties were present in the characters that Mendel examined in his breeding experiments?
- Open QuestionThe smooth feathers on the back of the neck in pigeons can be reversed by a mutation to produce a 'crested' appearance in which feathers form a distinctive spike at the back of the head. A pigeon breeder examined offspring produced by a single pair of non-crested birds and recorded the following: 22 non-crested and 7 crested. She then made a series of crosses using offspring from the first cross. When she crossed two of the crested birds, all 20 of the offspring were crested. When she crossed a non-crested bird with a crested bird, 7 offspring were non-crested and 6 were crested. Which allele is dominant?
