An albino (lack of pigmentation) man marries a normally pigmented woman who had an albino
mother. What are the chances of the couple having an albino child? A. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75%

tongue roller marries a woman who is an albino and heterozygous
for tongue-rolling. What is the probability that they will have
an albino tongue rolling offspring? Normal skin pigment - Dominant

25. n Mendel's "Experiment 1," true breeding pea plants with spherical seeds were crossed with
true breeding plants with dented seeds. (Spherical seeds are the dominant characteristic). Mendel
collected the seeds Irom this cross, grew F1-generation plants, let them selI-pollinate to Iorm a
second generation, and analyzed the seeds oI the resulting F2 generation. The results that he
obtained, and that you would predict Ior this experiment are:
A 1/2 Lhe l1 and 3/4 of Lhe l2 generaLlon seeds were spherlcal
8 1/2 Lhe l1 and 1/4 of Lhe l2 generaLlon seeds were denLed
C All of Lhe l1 and l2 generaLlon seeds were spherlcal
D 3/4 of Lhe l1 and 9/16 of Lhe l2 generaLlon seeds were spherlcal
L All Lhe l1 and 3/4 of Lhe l2 generaLlon seeds were spherlcal

28. The expected phenotypic ratio oI the progeny oI a SsYy x ssyy test cross is:
. :3:3:1. B. 3:1. C. 1:1:1:1. D. 1:2:1. E. 3:1:1:3.

J3 J8. Problems

SsYy x ssyy test cross:
a. ssyy b. SsYy c. Ssyy d. ssYy e. SsYY



Following a SsYy x SsYy cross, what Iraction oI the oIIspring are predicted to have a
genotype that is 4244:8 Ior both characteristics?
a. 1/16 b. 2/16 c. 3/16 d. 4/16 e. none oI these



13 n Holstein cattle the spotting of the coat is due to a recessive allele while the solid colored coat is
controlled by a dominant allele. What types of offspring might be produced by a cross between two
spotted animals?
a. Only solid coated b. only spotted coated c. spotted; solid d. solid; spotted
e. none of these




16. What blood types are possible for the offspring of a mating between a male: type AB and a female:
type B?
a. type O b. type A c. type B d. type AB e. all of these except for type O

18. A red-green color blind male mates with a red-green color blind female. What percentage of their
female offspring would likely be red-green color blind? Red-green color blindness is an X linked (sex-
linked) recessive trait.
a. 0 % b. 25 % c. 50% d. 75% e. 100%






19. What percentage of the offspring from a mating between a male and a female, both who are
heterozygous for Huntington's disease, would be predicted to be afflicted? Buntington's is inheiiteu
uominantly.
