I. Simple Recall

________________ 1. It is called the complete spectrum of all forms of light.

________________ 2. The speed of all light waves in a vacuum.

________________ 3. The color which has the lowest frequency.

________________ 4. The color which has the highest frequency.

________________ 5. It has the shortest wavelengths and highest frequencies in the EM spectrum.

________________ 6. The measure of how hot or cold an object compared to another object.

________________ 7. The unit of temperature in the metric system.

________________ 8. The absolute zero temperature in Celsius.

________________ 9. The distance from crest to crest in a wave.

________________10. The study of heredity and variations of inherited characters.

________________11. He is known as The Father of Modern Genetics.

________________12. It consists of a segment of DNA which is hereditary determining factor.

________________13. The genetic make-up of an organism.

________________14. The physical features or appearance of an organism.

________________15. These are the two forms of alleles.

II. Modified True or False. Write True if the underlined word is correct otherwise, change the underlined word to make
the sentence correct.

__________1. The term genetics was coined by William Bateson.

__________2. Dominance is the ability of an allele to express itself genotypically.

__________3. F in F1 generation means daughter.

__________4. Hertz is the unit of measurement for frequency in the speed of wave/light.
 __________5. Light travels faster in air.

__________6. The shorter the wavelength is the higher the frequency.

__________7. The only part of the energy range that our eyes can see is the infrared.

__________8. Wavelength is the distance from crest to crest in a wave.

__________9. The product of the wavelength and frequency is always equal to the speed of light wave.

__________10. When all wavelengths of light is absorbed, black color can be seen.

III. Solve the following:

A. (3 pts each)

1. A wave with a frequency of 14 Hz has a wavelength of 3 m. At what speed will this wave travel?

2. The speed of a wave is 65 m/s. If the wavelength of the wave is 0.8 m, what is the frequency of the wave?

3. A wave has a frequency of 46 Hz and a wavelength of 1.7 m. What is the speed of this wave?

4. A wave travelling at 230 m/s has a wavelength of 2.1m. What is the frequency of this wave?

5. A wave has a frequency of 540 Hz and is travelling at 340 m/s. What is its wavelength?

B. (10 pts each)

1. In dogs, black fur (B) is dominant over yellow fur (b). A homozygous black dog is mated with a yellow dog.
 Do a punnet square to show the cross and predict the offspring (phenotypes and genotypes)

2. In dogs, black fur (B) is dominant over yellow fur (b). A heterozygous black dog is mated with a yellow dog.
Do a punnet square to show the cross and predict the offspring (phenotypes and genotypes)
