GENETICS QUIZ REVIEW I f
1. In Mendel's pea plants tall is dominant to dwarf and axial flower position is dominant
to top. A purebred tall plant with homozygous axial flowers is crossed with
a dwarf plant
with top flowers.

2.In Mendel's pea plants yellow seed colour is dominant to green seed colour. Show how
you could determine whether a yellow seed plant is homozygous or heterozygous. Prove
your work with punnett squares.

3.In the fruit fly, red eyes are dominant to white eyes. In the experiment a red @.) eyed
female was mated with a white(r) eyed male. In the f1 generation one half of the males
had white eyes and one half had red eyes. In the females all were red eyed.
a)What is special about this genetics problem?
b)Utilize a red eyed female from the f1 mated with one of the white eyed males from the
f1 to generate an f2 generation. Show the punnett square, phenotypes and ratios.
a)In humans colour blindness is recessive and sex linked on the X chromosome. Blue eyes
are dominant to brown eyes and are not sex linked. If a colour blind male with blue eyes
is mated with a homozygous normal vision homozygous brown eyed determine the
offspring.
b)If a female from the f1 is mated with a blue eyed normal male, determine the offspring.

4. What is the probability that each of the following pairs of parents will produce the
indicated offspring (assume independent assortment of all gene pairs)
a) AABB x aabb ---->AaBb
b) AABb x AaBb ---> AAbb
c)AABBCC x aabbcc ---->AaBbCc
d) AABbCc x AaBbCs ---) AAbbCC
e)AaBbCc x AaBbCc ----> AaBbCc
f)aaBbCC x AABbcc ----> AaBbCc
5.Kim and Eric are married and each has a sibling with sickle cell anemia. Sickle cell
anemia is recessive and NOT SEX linked. In addition, both their mothers but not their
fathers have the disorder. If this couple has a child, determine the probability that the
child will have sickle cell anemia.
6. In Mendel's pea plant purple flowers are dominant to white, yellow seeds are dominant
to green and round seed pods are dominant to wrinkled. If a heterozygous purple flower,
heterozygous yellow seed. heterozygous round pea plant is self pollinated, determine the
following:
a)What is the probability of getting a white flower, green seed, wrinkled pod pea plant?
b)What is the probability of getting a purple flower; green seed, wrinkled pod pea plant?
c)what is the probability of getting a white flower, yellow seed, round pod pea plant?
