Practice Genetics questions
1. In human’s tongue rolling is an autosomal dominant trait.
T or F
a. The gene responsible for this characteristic is present on one of the human
chromosomes 1 through 22.
T or F
b. The gene responsible for this characteristic is present on one of the human
X chromosome
Use this information above to answer the following questions. A woman who is a tongue roller has a
daughter who is not a tongue roller. Use R to represent the dominant allele and r to represent the
recessive allele.
2. How many alleles for tongue rolling are there in each individual?
a. one
b. two
3. The daughter’s genotype is
a. RR
b. Rr
c. either RR or Rr
d. rr
4. The daughter has a

genotype.
b. heterozygous

Albinism is an autosomal recessive trait. A couple with normal pigmentation have a an albino
child. They are pregnant with the second child.
7. What is the probability or chance that their second child would have normal pigmentation?
a. 0
b. ¼
c. ½
d. ¾
d. 1
8. What is the probability or chance that their second child would also be an albino?
a. 0
b. ¼
c. ½
d. ¾
d. 1
9. Red/Green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A woman with normal color vision
