A branch cut off of a geranium plant grows into a new plant. Will the new plant be different from its parent plant? 1. yes, because mitosis will take place in the new plant. 2. yes, because meiosis will take place in the old plant. 62% 3. no, because meiosis and fertilization did not take place. 4. no, because the new plant was formed from gametes. 15% 19% yes, because m... yes, because m... no, because me... no, because th...

Mendel theorized that genetic traits are segregated during gamete formation and the offspring get only one allele for a trait from each parent. Why is this important to sexually reproducing organisms? 1. They would get too many 80% dominant traits if it did not occur 2. They would get too many recessive traits if it did not occur 3. It allows for offspring to be different from their parents 4. It allows the best traits to be selected out for the offspring. They would get... 12% They would get... 8% It allows for... 0% It allows the...
Mendel theorized that genetic traits are independently assorted and one trait does not depend on another for transmission to offspring. What do we know today that makes this theory invalid? 1. Genes on the same chromosome are usually 38% transmitted together. 2. Chromosomes stick together and are often transmitted with each other. 3. The same gene may be responsible for several different traits. 4. Transmission of genes is random and depends on laws of probability Genes on the same chr... 15% Chromosomes stick toge... 15% The same gene may be... Transmission of genes is... 31%

A white flower crossed with a red flower produces pink offspring. This is an example of incomplete dominance.

Why are blood types considered an example of codominance? 1. there are four types of blood, not two 2. blood type O can be donated to anyone, AB cannot 3. blood types A and B will both be expressed when present 4. there are three alleles for blood type and four types of blood 56% 20% 16% 8% there are four... blood type O c... blood types A... there are thre...

In crossing homozygous dominant and homozygous recessive pea plants, Mendel noted that some genes were not seen in the F1 generation and were seen in only 25% of the F2 generation. What did he call these genes? 1. dominant 2. recessive 3. lethal 4. incompletely dominant 8% 48% 40% dominant recessive lethal incompletely d...
