BIO 340 Mendelian Genetics Exam
Questions And Answers 100% Pass



Gene - answer✔-a segment of DNA encoding a polypeptide (or an RNA chain)

-the fundamental unit of heredity, which carries information from one generation to the next

what do alleles do and what are they? - answer✔-change their frequency in populations

-variants of genes

blending inheritance - answer✔held that traits of mother and father were blended and permanently
changed in the offspring (like mixing paint)

-couldn't explain brown cow and white cow making a brown cow or a two brown cows making a white
cow

key's to mendels success - answer✔1. chose a good study species

-makes plenty of data

-short generation time

-easy to arrange mating between species

2. he looked at discontinuous traits

3. studied true-breeding strains. matings within true-breeding strains always produce offspring that
resemble their parents

4. he studied one trait at a time

5. he counted offspring

continuous traits - answer✔traits which vary across an unbroken range of values

discontinuous (discrete) traits - answer✔traits which show two or more distinct or separate forms

hybrid - answer✔offspring of genetically dissimilar parents

monohybrid - answer✔hybrid between two strains that differ only at a single trait

dominance - answer✔a condition in which one member of an allele pair is manifested to the exclusion
of the other. the manifested allele is dominant and the hidden allele is recessive

mender's law of segregation - answer✔1. the two copies of a gene separate (segregate) equally during
gamete formation, so that half of the gametes carry one member of the pair, and half carry the other
member

2. during fertilization, gametes unite at random. that is, they fuse without regard to which allele is
carried by each one

phenotype - answer✔the observable characteristic of an organism

genotype - answer✔the specific allelic composition of an individual

In guinea pigs coat color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. A guinea pig from a true-
breeding black strain is mated with a guinea pig from a true-breeding white strain. The F1 progeny are
all black. Two of the F1 progeny are mated with each other.



What proportion of the F2 progeny is expected to be white?

A) 1/4

B) 1/3 C) 1/2 D) 3/4 E) All - answer✔1/4

In guinea pigs coat color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. A guinea pig from a true-
breeding black strain is mated with a guinea pig from a true-breeding white strain. The F1 progeny are
all black. Two of the F1 progeny are mated with each other.



What proportion of the black F2 progeny is expected to be homozygous? - answer✔1/3

testcross - answer✔-pair genotype in question with homozygous recessive

In guinea pigs coat color is determined by a single gene with two alleles. Allele B is dominant and
encodes for black coat. Allele b is recessive and encodes for white coat.



If you cross a black guinea pig with a white one, what is the phenotype ratio in the F1 generation?

A) All black

B) All white

C) 1⁄2 black, 1⁄2 white D) 3⁄4 black, 1⁄4 white E) I cannot tell - answer✔I cannot tell
