Two true breeding parents are crossed similar to Mendel's P generation. A tall plant is crossed with a short plant. What is the expected outcome for the F1 generation?

All tall

All short

All medium height

Half tall, half short

If the cross from #1 is continued, what would be the expected outcome in the F2 generation?

3 tall, 1 short

All short

All tall

Half tall, half short

If a plant that has round seeds has a parent that has wrinkled seeds, what is its genotype? (Assume that round is dominant.)

RrWw

This principle states that alleles separate during gamete formation:

Principle of multiple alleles

Principle of dominance and recessiveness

Principle of independent assortment

Principle of segregation

If you crossed two heterozygous plants, how many of the offspring will also be heterozygous?

All

Half

3/4

1/4

A plant that has purple flowers is crossed with one that has white flowers. The offspring were half white and half purple. What were the genotypes of the parents?

Pp x pp

Pp x Pp

PP x pp

PP x WW

A dihybrid cross (AaBb x AaBb) will result in what offspring ratio?

4:4:2:2

1:3:1

3:1

9:3:3:1

Phenotype refers to an organism's:

Genetic code

Physical appearance

Ratio

Parents

In each case where Mendel crossed true breeding plants as parents, the offspring displayed only one of the two traits seen in the parents. This observation supports which principle of genetics?

Segregation

Independent assortment

Dominance and recessiveness

Allele frequency

Which of the following outcomes would you expect from the following cross: tall, round (TTRR) x short, wrinkled (ttrr)

All offspring tall and round

All offspring short and wrinkled

Half tall, round; half short wrinkled
