1. Concept check The physical appearance of a trait is called as:
Morphology b) Phenotype c)Genotype d)Homology
What is the alternate form of a gene called?
Recessive gene b) Alternate gene c) Allele d) Chromosome

2. Concept check
In a plant, purple flower color (P) is dominant over Yellow (p). A homozygous purple flowered plant is crossed with a homozygous yellow flowered plant. The F1 is selfed to get the F2 generation.
Draw a Punnett square for the above mentioned cross and also show the F2 generation
Give the genotype of the parents and F1.
Give the genotype and the phenotype in a test cross for the same trait

3. Concept check
Consider a humming bird whose body color is controlled by the B gene. These humming birds are either green or yellow, where green color is dominant to yellow. Give the expected phenotypes and genotypes of the offspring for the following crosses.
Green B and yellow b
Cross 1:
BB x BB
Cross 2:
bb x bb
Cross 3:
Bb X Bb
Cross 4:
Bb X bb

4. Concept check
In the animal seal, the length of whiskers regulated by two alleles (W- long and w-short). W is dominant over w. Find the probability of producing offspring with short whiskers from the cross between a homozygous dominant and heterozygous seal? Show the cross using Punnet square

5. Concept check
In cattle, hornless (called “polled” represented by P) is dominant over horned (p). A polled bull is bred/mated to three cows, A, B, C. With cow A, which is horned, a polled calf is produced. With cow B, also horned, a horned calf is produced. With cow C, which is polled, a horned calf is produced. What are the genotypes of the four parent (Cows A, B, C)

6. Concept check
In mice three allele is known to govern the intensity of pigmentation. Thus we find ‘D’ for dull colour ‘ d ’ for dilute colour ‘ d’ ’ for lethal (progeny dies) and homozygous. The order of dominance is D > d > d’. A dull colour mouse carrying a lethal gene is made to breed to a dilute colored mouse carrying lethal gene. What will be the phenotype ratio and genotype ratio.

7. Concept check
In rabbits, white fur color (W) is dominant to black, and long ears (L) are dominant to short (l). Draw a Punnett square that represents the cross between two rabbits heterozygous for both traits. What is the phenotypic ratio of this cross?

8. Concept check
In horses, black skin color is dominant to brown skin color, while trotter foot shape is dominant to pacer foot shape. A cross was made between two horses and the phenotypic ratio of the baby horses are Black trotter: Black pacer: Brown trotter: Brown pacer is 1:1:1:1
Find the genotype of the male parent and female parent
Find the genotype of baby horses mentioned above

9. Concept check
Ms. Geetha is doing a project on Genetics. She is crossing true breeding Tall red flowered pea plants with dwarf yellow colored pea plants and raises F1 generation. All her pea plants are tall and Red flowered. Now she raises the F 2 generation and gets 9:3:3:1 (Phenotypic) ratio. Based on this information, answer the following
Identify the dominant characters
What you assume from her results of F2 generations
Give the genotype of the Dwarf yellow colored pea plants she got in the F2 generation
Perform the Test cross and show the genotype and phenotype of the offspring

10. Concept check
In guinea pigs, rough coat (R) is dominant over smooth (r), and black coat (B) is dominant over white (b). If a pure-breeding rough black animal is crossed with a smooth white one:
What will be the appearance of the F1 progeny? The F 2?
What will be the offspring of a cross between the F1and the rough black parent?
What will be the offspring of a cross between the F 1and the smooth white parent?

11. Concept check
Pea plants heterozygous for flower position and stem length (AaTt) are allowed to self-pollinate, and 400 of the resulting seeds are planted. Draw a Punnett square for this cross. How many offspring would be predicted to have terminal flowers and be dwarf?
Axial (dominant) and Terminal (recessive)
Tall (dominant) and dwarf (recessive)
