Why do your chromosomes come in pairs?
a. Because DNA is double-stranded, one member of each chromosome pair carries a
strand that is complementary to the strand carried by the other chromosome.
b. Because cell division via mitosis cannot take place without paired chromosomes.
c. Because one member of each pair came from my mother and the other from my
father.
d. Because so many genes of genetic information must be carried, all organisms,
including humans, must possess an amount of DNA that is doubled to fit it all inside. -
ANSWER c. Because one member of each pair came from my mother and the other from
my father.

c. He allowed them to self-fertilize.
d. He did nothing at all. - ANSWER b. He kept them apart and pollinated them by hand.

Work out the genetic problems for questions about a plant species in which orange
flower colour is dominant to white and round leaf shape is dominant to oval. A
true-breeding orange-flowering, round-leaved male plant, plant A, is crossed to a
true-breeding white-flowering oval-leaved female plant, plant B, to produce a dihybrid
offspring plant, plant C. Questions Assuming Mendelian genetics and independent
inheritance of the two traits, what gametes might be produced by Plant C? a. OoSs b. OS
c. oS d. Both OS and oS e. Both OoSs and OS - ANSWER d. Both OS and oS
Coat color in guinea pigs is determined by one gene with two alleles. A guinea pig from a
true-breeding black strain is crossed to a guinea pig from a true-breeding white strain.
The F1 offspring are all black. Two of the F1 offspring are crossed to each other. What is
the expected proportion of white in the F2 offspring?
a. 1/2
b. 1/3
c. 1/4
d. 3/4 - ANSWER c. 1/4
Coat color in guinea pigs is determined by a single gene with two alleles. A guinea pig
from a true-breeding black strain is crossed to a guinea pig from a true-breeding white
strain. All the F1 offspring are black. Two of the F1 offspring are crossed to one another.
What is the expected proportion of black F2 offspring that are homozygous?
a. 1/2
b. 1/3
c. 1/4
d. 3/4 - ANSWER b. 1/3
