reasons EXCEPT:

Answer D
Q2: Mendel applied the pollen from a true-breeding pea plant with violet flowers to
the stigma of a plant with white flowers. If the blending theory of inheritance was
correct, which outcome would be expected?

Answer A
Q 3: When Mendel crossed two plants from the F1 generation, the traits expressed
in the F2 generation were in a ratio of:

Q4: The probability of offspring in the F2 generation expressing two independent
dominant traits can be determined using the:

Answer D

one would perform:

Answer D

Q 12: Rabbit coat color is an example of:

Answer D
Q 13: Flower color in snapdragons appears to support the blending theory of
inheritance, as the offspring of one homozygous white-flowered parent and one
homozygous red-flowered parent all have pink flowers. This is actually due to:

Answer B
Q 14: Recessive X-linked traits are phenotypically expressed more often in
________________, and males must inherit the X-linked allele from their

either one of the paired unit factors:

Answer A
Q 17: Which of Mendels laws is supported by a dihybrid cross?

Answer C
Q 18: As the distance between two genes on a chromosome increases, the
likelihood of __________________ also increases.
