Genetics Basics Worksheet

This document provides a genetics basics worksheet with questions about dominant and recessive genes, genotypes, phenotypes, and inheritance patterns. Part 1 defines key genetics terms and has students identify examples. Part 2 tests understanding of genetics concepts through multiple choice and short answer questions. It asks about dominant and recessive traits in hair length, possible parent genotypes, identifying genotypes as homozygous or heterozygous, and determining phenotypes from given genotypes for eye color and seed traits.
