pink color flower?
A. Sex-linked C. Multiple alleles

examination, the coat of a roan cow consists of red and white hairs. Which of the following controlled
this?

offspring. What explains this result?
A. Sex linkage
B. Overdominance of red trait
C. Co-dominance of red and yellow trait
D. Incomplete dominance of red and yellow traits.
_____5. Which describes the varieties of Siamese cat’s coat?
A. Codominance C. Complete dominance
B. Multiple allele D. Incomplete domince
_____6. Which of the following refers to the group of inheritance patterns that do not follow all of the
assumptions of Mendel?
A. Extensions of Mendelism C. Interactions of Mendelism
B. Deviations of Mendelism D. Fabrications of Mendelism

_____7. Which of the following statements is not an assumption of Mendelian inheritance?

A. The characteristic dihybrid cross-ratio is 9:3:4.
B. Genes do not interact.
C. A dominant allele completely masks the expression of a recessive allele.
D. Alleles that are located from different loci are inherited independently.
_____8. What type of sex-related inheritance are hemophilia and color blindness?
A. X-linked C. Sex-influenced
B. Y-linked D. Sex-limited
_____9. Hypertrichosis pinnae auris is a Y-linked trait. Can the mother pass this trait to her sons or daughters?
A. No, only fathers can pass this Y-linked trait to their sons.
B. No, only fathers can pass this Y-linked trait to their sons and daughters.
C. Yes, since half of the genes of the offspring are passed on by the mother.
D. Yes, since the mother may have two Y chromosomes as her sex chromosomes.

II.MODIFIED TRUE or FALSE

DIRECTION: Write TRUE if the statement is accurate. If false, change the underlined word/s that make it false
and write the correct word/s.

16-17. Sex linkage is a mechanism where the homologous pairs of chromosomes exchange genes.___________

18-19. Sex-influenced traits have genes that can be found in both sexes but only one sex expresses it on their
phenotype. ____________________________

20-21. Carbohydrates are the monomers of proteins. ________________________

22-23. RNA is the primary genetic material in living organisms. ____________________

24-25.The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose, whereas the sugar in RNA is monosaccharide._______________

26-27. PBD is an enormous collection of published experiments on the structure of DNA, RNA and proteins.
_____________________________
28-29. Ribozymes are a group of catalytic RNA molecules. ____________________

III. Give what is asked in the problem.

A. Assume that one of Lacabo’s sons, who is heterozygous for the light blue body color, married a girl that
was also heterozygous. Create a punnet square to show the possibilities that will result if they have
children.

Page 2 of 4
30-33. List the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children.

34. What are the chances of a child with light blue skin?

35. What are the chances of a child with light green skin?

B. Mr. Lacabo and his wife recently had a little Nazzy, but it has not been a happy occasion for them. Mrs.
Lacabo has been upset since she first saw her new baby who had small eyeballs. She claims that the
hospital goofed and mixed up her baby with someone else’s baby. Mr Lacabo is homozygous for his big
eyeballs, while his wife is heterozygous for her big eyeballs. Some members of her family have short
eyes, which is the recessive trait. Create a Punnet square using T for the dominant gene and t for the
recessive one.

36-37. List all the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their children.

38-39.Did the hospital make a mistake? Explain your answer briefly.

IV. ESSAY

DIRECTION: Write 5-10 sentences of each item. The rubrics will be used to rate your answer.
RUBRICS:
5-has a strong central idea that is related to the topic.
4-has a few grammatical and spelling errors that do not distract from the over-all message.
3-uses common words accurately, but sentences tend to be simplistic and unsophisticated
2-has one or two severe grammatical errors.
1-lack of a central idea.

40-44. Explain why are X-linked traits more common in males than in female? (5pts)

45-50.The mother of a baby girl died shortly after giving birth. The girl grew up without knowing her biological
father. This led her to hire a detective to locate her father. If the mother is a carrier of hemophilia, and the girl is
hemophilic, what characteristics of the father should the girl expect from the detective’s report? Explain your
answer. (6pts)
