Genetics Study Guide Name ____________________ 1. What factors can affect a person’s height? Genes & the environment 2. Which combination of sex chromosomes results in a male human being? XY 3. Sex-linked genes are genes on _XY____. 4. A carrier is a person who has _one recessive trait and one dominate trait____. 5. Which form of genetic engineering crosses genetically different individuals in an attempt to keep the best traits of both parents? hybridization 6. How are copies of DNA made? DNA strands unwind and complementary nucleotides are added 7. A scientist conducts research on a sample of DNA that contains 200 nucleotides. Her results show that adenine makes up 30% of the sample and cytosine makes up 20% of the sample. The remaining 50% of the sample is made up of thymine and guanine. What percent of the nucleotides are thymine? 30% 8. What did Gregor Mendel do to make his experiments accurate? He repeated them 9. Which term refers to physical characteristics that are studied in genetics? traits 10. Factors that control traits are called genes_____. 11. The different forms of a gene are called _alleles____. 12. Which of the following best describes the chromosomes of eukaryotic cells? a. More-complex eukaryotes have more chromosomes than simpler eukaryotes do b. Different kinds of eukaryotes have different numbers of chromosomes. c. The chromosomes in a pair contain very different genetic information. d. Each of the chromosomes contains one copy of circular DNA. 13. DNA and RNA are _nucleic acids____. 14. DNA is organized in structures. What are these structures called? chromosomes 15. Scientists call an organism that has two different alleles for a trait a _hybrid____. 16. What does the notation TT mean to geneticists? Two dominate alleles Use the Punnett square below to answer the next question. R r RR Rr Rr ?? R r 17. In some plants, the allele for round seeds (R) is dominant over wrinkled seeds (r). What genotype will accurately complete the Punnett square above? rr 18. The allele for freckles, F, is dominant among humans. If a woman with freckles (FF) and a man without freckles (ff) have children, what are the possible genotypes of the children? Ff 19. Traits such as an individual’s skin, hair, and eye color result from a. one gene acting alone. b. one allele from each parent acting together. c. several genes acting together. d. one dominant allele. 20. Part of a mouse’s tail is cut off as the mouse escapes from a cat. The mouse later reproduces. Describe why the mouse’s offspring have long tails? Cutting his tail off doesn’t change his genes Use the table below to answer the next question. Characteristic Dominant traits Recessive traits Ratio Flower Color Seed Color Seed Shape 705 purple 6,002 yellow 5,474 round 224 white 2,001 green 1,850 wrinkled 3.51:1 ? ? 21.

Which pattern shows how bases pair in complementary strands of DNA? a. A–A and C–C b. A–G and T–C c. A–T and C–G d. A–C and T–G 23. What does the notation tt mean to geneticists? Two recessive alleles 24. What does the notation Tt mean to geneticists? One dominate allele and one recessive allele 25. What is probability? The likelihood that a particular event will occur 26.

An organism's physical appearance is its __phenotype___. 30. An organism's genotype is its genetic make-up. 31. What does co-dominance mean in genetics? a. Both alleles are dominant. b. Both alleles are recessive. c. The alleles are neither dominant nor recessive. d. Each allele is both dominant and recessive. 32. A mutation is harmful to an organism if it _____. a. changes the DNA of the organism b. changes the phenotype of the organism c. reduces the organism's chances for survival and reproduction d. makes the organism better able to avoid predators 33. Multiple alleles are _____. a. more than two genes that control a trait b. three or more forms of a gene that code for a single trait c. three or more chromosomes that determine a trait d. more than two co-dominant genes in a chromosome
