What I Know
Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

1. An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located
at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome. Humans are called diploid organisms because they
have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent. Which of the examples
below is an allele for a diploid organism?
A. G B. GG C. GH D. HHH
2. Homozygous dominant allele is represented by the letters ____________.
A. RR B. Sr C. Rr D. rr
3. Who pioneered on the study of Genetics?
A. Carolus Linnaeus B. Charles Darwin C. Gregor Mendel D. Robert Brown
4. A pair of dissimilar alleles for a certain trait is called _____________.
A. Allele B. Chromosome C. Heterozygous genes D. Homozygous genes
5. It is the study of genes to determine traits inherited by the offspring from the parents?
A. Botany B. Genetics C. Histology D. Zoology
6. Which genotype of an organism is with the same alleles for a trait?
A. Genes B. Heterozygous genotype C. Homozygous genotype D. Polygenes
7. Which pair of alleles are not identical?
A. Allele B. Chromosome C. Heterozygous D. Homozygous
8. The genetic makeup of an organism is called ____________.
A. Genotype B. Heredity C. Offsprings D. Phenotype
9. Which of the following is a heterozygous dominant genotype?
A. HH B. HHH C. Hh D. hh
10. A monohybrid cross is a cross using _________.
A. two factors or characters B. a single trait or character
C. several factors or characters D. a combination of characters

II - Directions: Write the genotypes and phenotypes of the given cross:

1. Yellow color in peas (Y) is dominant over green peas Genotypes:___________________

(y). A homozygous yellow pea plant is crossed with a
homozygous green pea plant. What will be the
genotypes and phenotypes of all the possible offspring? Phenotypes:__________________

2. In fruit flies, long wing (L) is dominant to short wing

Genotypes:___________________
(l). Two heterozygous long-winged fruit flies both (Ll)
are crossed. What are the possible genotypes and
Phenotypes:__________________
phenotypes of their offspring?
