1. Questions to answer on Page 44
1. Gregor Mendel developed hereditary principles from his:
A. Studies of pea plant crosses.
B. Working model of the structure of DNA.
C. Mapping the locations of human genes.
D. Studying the fly Drosophila.

2. PROBLEMS:
2. Y stands for yellow peas and y for green. What color is dominant?
3. G stands for green coat color and g for white. What color is dominant? Recessive?
4. Using the letter S what is the symbol for smooth and wrinkled pod shape if smooth is dominant and wrinkled recessive?

3. 5. write 2 things about the other parent.

4. Note: The dominant gene can be less common or more common than the recessive trait.

5. -Dominant traits in humans include dark eyes, dark hair, cleft chin, long eyelashes, clockwise hair whorl, free ear lobes, ability to roll tongue, left thumb on top with fingers interlocked.
Recessive traits include blue or gray eyes, blond hair, smooth chin, attached ear lobes, inability to roll tongue, right thumb on top with fingers interlocked.

7. Heredity Notes pg 47 Ex: tall, wrinkled, brown eyes.
- phenotype - The traits that are expressed(show up) in an organism.
Ex: tall, wrinkled,
brown eyes.
- genotype - The gene combination
of an organism. Ex. Tt, Bb

8. alleles- alternate forms of a gene for each trait of an organism.
Ex. Flower color: B = blue flower
b = white flower

9. - heterozygous = hybrid =not having identical
genes for a trait. Ex = Aa
- homozygous = purebred = having identical
genes for a single trait. Ex: AA
BB = homozygous dominant
aa = homozygous recessive

10. Punnett Square-
Shows all possible gene combinations when 2 organisms are crossed.

11. X X X Y

12. X X X X X Y X X

13. X X X X X X X Y X Y X Y
