Heredity Quiz
Question 1
Heredity
A homozygous dominant germ cell undergoes meiosis. The gametes will _________________________.
- only have the dominant allele
- have both the dominant or the recessive allele
- only have the recessive allele
- either have the dominant or the recessive allele
Question 2
The next two questions are based on the following information.
Part 1 of 2: In beans yellow (Y) is dominant to green (y) and smooth (S) is dominant to wrinkled (s). What are the possible genotypes for the offspring of the following cross: YySS and YYSs.
- YYSS, YySS, YYSs, YySs
- YS, yS, YS, yS
- Yy, SS, YY, Ss
- YYSS, YYss, yySS, yyss
Question 3
Part 2 of 2: In beans with yellow (Y) dominant to green (y) and smooth (S) dominant to wrinkled (s): What are the phenotypes for the offspring in the example in the previous question?
- 50% yellow smooth and 50% green smooth
- 100% green wrinkled
- 50% yellow smooth and 50% yellow wrinkled
- 100% yellow smooth
Question 4
In peas, purple is dominant over white for flower color. Suppose a purple flower is crossed with a white flower. Some of the offspring are purple, and others are white. What is the genotype of the original purple flower?
- PP
- Pp
- pp
- either PP or Pp
Question 5
Peter gets his blood tested and finds out that he is B+. This test identified a
- Phenotype
- Chromosome
- DNA
- Genotype
Question 6
Linked genes: _______________________________.
- have related phenotypes
- are found on the same chromosome
- are alleles of each other
- sort independently of each other
Question 7
The sister chromatids separate during which stage of meiosis?
- Anaphase I
- Anaphase II
- Prophase I
- Prophase II
Question 8
Alleles are different versions of a _______________.
- genotype
- chromosome
- gene
- phenotype
Question 9
An individual that expresses the dominant trait of a dominant/recessive gene
- must be homozygous
- must be heterozygous
- can be either homozygous or heterozygous
Question 10
Which relationship is correct?
- Protein is to phenotype as genotype is to DNA.
- Protein is to genotype as DNA is to phenotype.
- Phenotype is to protein as DNA is to genotype.
- Protein is to phenotype as DNA is to genotype.
Question 11
The next three questions are based on the following information.

- 100%
- 75%
- 50%
- 0%
Question 13
Part 3 of 3: What is the probability that Benjamin will be homozygous dominant?
- 50%
- 0%
- 75%
- 100%
