Chapter 12, Problem 6A
Mendel’s model assumes that each trait is determined by a single factor with alternate forms. We now know that this is too simplistic and that
a. a single gene may affect more than one trait.
b. a single trait may be affected by more than one gene.
c. a single gene always affects only one trait, but traits may be affected by more than one gene.
d. a single gene can affect more than one trait, and traits may be affected by more than one gene.

- In a trait that follows Mendelian rules of inheritance, what is the only way an organism can have the recessive phenotype? A. By having the homozygous recessive genotype B. By being heterozygous for that genotype C. It is not possible to get the recessive phenotype in Mendelian genetics D. If one parent is homozygous recessive for that trait, any offspring are guaranteed the recessive phenotype E. By being homozygous dominant for that genotypearrow_forwardWhich if the following is not among Mendels principles? a. There are factors that is transmitted from parent to offspring? b. There are only two kinds of traits, dominant and recessive c. Genes resides in the chromosome d. Pair of single traits segregate randomlyarrow_forwardMendel crossed yellow-seeded and green-seeded pea plants and then allowed the offspring to self-pollinate to produce an F2 generation. The results were as follows: 6022 yellow and 2001 green (8023 total). The allele for green seeds has what relationship to the allele for yellow seeds? A. co-dominant. B. dominant C. semi-dominant D. incompletely dominant E. recessivearrow_forward
- If Mendel chose to study inheritance of height in human, would he have likely discovered the same princeple of heredity that he discovered in working with pea plants? A. Yes, because human height is a continuously varying trait, just like the traits Mendel studied in pea plants. B. No, because the generation time in humans is relatively long compared with pea plants. C. Yes, because the principles of segregation and independent assortment also apply to human genes. D. No, because human height is not genetically determined.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes the Law of Independent Assortment? a. A large Punnett square can be used to predict the outcome of a parental cross involving two traits. b. Non-allelic genes do not affect each other if they are located on separate chromosomes. c.
