Section II: Genetic Diversity
Briefly describe the following events and explain their role in creating genetic diversity:
1. Proteins:
2. Crossing over:
3. Independent assortment:
4. Mutation:
Section III: Mendelian Genetics
Post your answers to the following questions from the Problems and Discussion Questions section at the
end of Ch. 3 of Concepts of Genetics:
Question 7: 7. Mendel crossed peas having round seeds and yellow cotyledons (seed leaves) with peas having
wrinkled seeds and green cotyledons. All the F 1 plants had round seeds with yellow cotyledons. Diagram this cross
through the F2 generation, using both the Punnett square and forked-line, or branch diagram, methods.
Question 16: Mendel crossed peas having round green seeds with peas having wrinkled yellow seeds. All F 1 plants
had seeds that were round and yellow. Predict the results of testcrossing these F 1 plants.
Seed shape
Seed color
W = round
G = yellow
w = wrinkled
g =green
P1= WWgg x wwGG
Section IV: Chromosomes
