In pea plants, tall is the dominant height allele. Design a test cross to determine the genotype of a tall pea plant.
What results would you expect if the parent were homozygous? Heterozygous?

15. 15
What is cross the tall plant with a homozygous recessive (short) plant.
All tall offspring  parent was homozygous tall
½ tall offspring  parent was heterozygous tall.

16. 16
Grey eye color is dominant over blue eyes, and brown hair is dominant over blond. Predict the outcome when 1 individual heterozygous for both traits, is crossed with a homozygous recessive for both traits.

17. 17
What is 1:1:1:1
Grey and Brown: Grey and Blonde: Blue and Brown: Blue and Blonde.

18. 18
What type of in heritance is most likely represented by the Pedigree below?

19. 19
What is X-linked recessive?

20. 20

A mother with type O blood and a father with AB could produce these offspring.

29. 29
What are A and B?

Two Drosophila melanogaster flies that had normal (transparent, long) wings were mated. 2 new phenotypes appeared in the progeny: dusky, and clipped wings. Provide a genetic explanation for the results below.
Females: Males:________
179 transparent, long transparent, long
58 transparent, clipped dusky, long
28 transparent, clipped
31 dusky, clipped

31. 31
What is: Transparent/dusky is on x chromosome. Transparent is dominant.
Long/clipped is on an autosome. Long is dominant.

32. 32
During which stage of protein synthesis do the following events occur?
complementary base pairing of codons and anticodons
unzipping of DNA
elongation of polypeptide

33. 33
complementary base pairing of codons and anticodons - translation
unzipping of DNA - transcription
elongation of polypeptide - translation

34. 34
Describe the function of each of the following:
mRNA
tRNA
rRNA

35. 35
mRNA – copies genetic code from DNA, brings it to the ribosome
tRNA – carries amino acid to ribosome
rRNA – component of ribosome

DAILY DOUBLE
DAILY DOUBLE

37. 37
Karyotype: picture of all chromosomes in a cell, lined up in homologous pairs.
Male or female
Non-disjunction or other chromosomal abnormalities.

40. 40
Describe the terms initiation, elongation and termination as they relate to both transcription and translation.

41. 41
Transcription:
Initiation: RNA polymerase begins synthesis of mRNA strand
Elongation: RNA bases are added to growing mRNA strand

Translation:
Initiation: Synthesis of polypeptide begins at the ribosome. Start codon is read.
Elongation: amino acids are added to growing polypeptide
Termination: polypeptide is finished and released from ribosome.
