$500 Question from Gregor Mendel
Why were true-breeding pea plantsimportant for Mendel’s experiments?
$500 Answer from Gregor Mendel
They have 2 identical alleles for agene, so in a genetic cross, each parent contributes only one form of a gene.
$100 Question from Alleles & Genes
What individual characteristics are determined by factors that are passed
from one parental generation to the next?
$300 Question from Alleles & Genes
What is the principle called that statesthat some alleles are dominant and
others are recessive?
$400 Answer from Alleles & Genes
A short plant appeared in the F2 generation,proving that the plant had only recessive
alleles.
$500 Question from Alleles & Genes
What happens to alleles between the P generation and the F2 generation?
$500 Answer from Alleles & Genes
The two alleles of the P generationseparate during gamete formation.Each gamete carries a single allele
from each parent. As a result, the F2generation has new alleles.
$100 Question from Mendel's Principles
What is the concept of the likelihood that an event will occur?
$200 Question from Mendel's Principles
What is the term given to organisms that have two identical alleles for
a particular gene?
$400 Question from Mendel's Principles
How did Gregor Mendel contribute to ourunderstanding of inherited traits?
$400 Answer from Mendel's Principles
The patterns of inheritance he observedform the basis of modern genetics.
$500 Question from Mendel's Principles
How are Punnett squares used to predict the outcomes of genetic
crosses?
$500 Answer from Mendel's Principles
They are used to show all of the combinations of alleles that might
result from a cross and the likelihoodthat each might occur.
$100 Question from Patterns of Inheritance
What term is given when one alleleis not completely dominant over another?
$200 Question from Patterns of Inheritance
In incomplete dominance wheredoes the heterozygous phenotype
lie?
$300 Question from Patterns of Inheritance
What term is given to people with the heterozygous form of a gene that produces 2 forms of proteins, with
different effects on cholesterol levels?
$400 Question from Patterns of Inheritance
What is the relationship betweenthe environment and phenotype?
$400 Answer from Patterns of Inheritance
The environment affects how genesare expressed and therefore influence
an organism’s phenotype.
$500 Question from Patterns of Inheritance
What might be the result of an exceptionally hot spring on wing
pigmentation in the western white butterfly?
$500 Answer from Patterns of Inheritance
The higher temperatures of an unusually hot spring will likely result
in lighter wing colors.
$100 Question from Independent Assortment
What term was given to Mendel’s alleles segregate experiment?
$200 Question from Independent Assortment
Why is the fruit fly an ideal organismfor genetic research?
$200 Answer from Independent Assortment
They are small, easy to keep in thelab, and produce large numbers of offspring in a short amount of time.
$300 Question from Independent Assortment
Why didn’t Mendel know, from theresults of the first cross, whether
two genes segregated independently?
$400 Question from Independent Assortment
What evidence did Mendel have that alleles segregated independently?
$500 Answer from Independent Assortment
They explain that heredity, observed through patterns of inheritance, form the
basis of modern genetics.
Final Jeopardy AnswerThe Law of Dominance states that a dominant gene will express itself over a recessive gene and a recessive trait will only be expressed if an individual has two recessive genes.The Law of Segregation states that alleles separate during gamete formation so that each gamete carries only one of the genes.
