part 1
If a parent is heterozygous for a gene, 1/2 of the time they
will contribute a dominant allele to their offspring and 1/2 of the
time they will contribute a recessive allele to their offspring.
The phenotypes of the resulting offspring will be _____ dominant
and _____ recessive.
Multiple Choice
1/4; 3/4
1/2; 1/2
all (4/4); no (0/4)
3/4; 1/4
Part 2
The probability of having an offspring with both the dominant
phenotypes for both genes is equal to the product of the individual
probabilities. This means, the probability of having a dominant
phenotype for both traits would be
Multiple Choice
4/4 x 4/4 = 16/16.
3/4 x 1/4 = 3/16.
1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4.
3/4 x 3/4 = 9/16.
Part 3
Select all of the following ways in which meiosis II is
different than meiosis I.
Multiple Choice
Interkinesis does not involve the replication of chromosomes,
whereas interphase does.
Crossing-over does not occur in prophase II, whereas it does
occur in prophase I.
Cells in meiosis II are haploid and cells in meiosis I are
diploid.
Sister chromatids separate in anaphase II, whereas homologous
chromosomes separate in anaphase I.
All of the answer choices are correct.
