1. “Genetics Jeopardy”

3. Meiosis: 1 point How many chromosomes are found in a typical human sperm or egg cell? 23

4. Meiosis: 2 points What are the end products of meiosis? 4 haploid cells

5. Meiosis: 3 points In this phase, homologous pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator. Metaphase I

6. Meiosis: 4 points Meiosis is used to make cells for: • Sexual or • Asexual Reproduction? Sexual Reproduction

7. Meiosis: 5 points When would crossing over in the cell most likely occur? When homologous pairs line up

8. Mendelian Genetics: 1 point Organisms that have 2 identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be: Homozygous

9. Mendelian Genetics: 2 points What did Gregor Mendel use pea plants to study? The inheritance of traits

10. Mendelian Genetics: 3 points A homozygous tall pea plant is crossed with a homozygous short pea plant, and all the offspring are tall. What is the most likely genotype of the offspring? Tt

11. Mendelian Genetics: 4 points Suppose and animal is heterozygous AaBb. When meiosis occurs, what is the total number of possible combinations of gametes that can be made for these traits? (FOIL) 4

12. Mendelian Genetics: 5 points A white mouse whose parents are both white, produces only brown offspring when mated with a brown mouse. The white mouse is most probably _____________. • Heterozygous or Homozygous? • Dominant or Recessive? Homozygous recessive

13. Complex Inheritance: 1 point Individuals in the following pedigree that are half shaded can be classified as: Carriers

14. Complex Inheritance: 2 points The process by which plants are bred to produce larger fruits is called: Selective Breeding

15. Complex Inheritance: 3 points A cross between a blue monster (BB) and a green monster (GG) produces all mixed blue-green offspring. This type of inheritance is known as: Co-Dominance

16. Complex Inheritance: 4 points Most sex-linked genes are located on what chromosome? X Chromosome

17. Complex Inheritance: 5 points Colorblindness is more common in males than in females because… The allele for colorblindness is recessive and located on the X chromosome

18. Practice Problems: 1 point If a female rabbit heterozygous for red eyes (XR Xr) is crossed with a white-eyed male (XrY), what percent of their offspring would have white eyes? 50%

19. Practice Problems: 2 points T t Tall (T) is dominant to short (t). What are the possible genotypes for offspring in the punnett square? TT, Tt, tt T t

20. Practice Problems: 3 points Two Roan Cows (RW and RW) are mated. These cows show codominant inheritance. What percent chance will their offspring be red? White? Roan? 25% Red, 25% White and 50% Roan

21. Practice Problems: 4 points A man heterozygous for blood type A marries a woman heterozygous for blood type B. What is the chance their first child will have type AB blood? 25%

22. Practice Problems: 5 points Huntington’s disease is a dominant disorder. What is the chance that individual A will be afflicted with the disorder? 50% ?

23. Misc.: 1 point AN individual would have at least ______ dominant allele(s) if the dominant phenotype is expressed. One

24. Misc.: 2 points In a test cross, if one parent’s genotype is homozygous dominant, how many of the offspring will have the dominant phenotype? All of the offspring.

25. Misc.: 3 points A cross between a black rat (BB) and a white rat (bb) produces all gray haired offspring. What type of inheritance is this? Incomplete Dominance

26. Misc.: 4 points The disorder that results in an extra chromosomes on number 21 in a karyotype. Down Syndrome

27. Misc.: 5 points What is the percent chance that a human offspring will be male? 50%
