Question 1

What is the law of segregation?

Accepted Answer

Alleles separate during the formation of gametes, so each gamete only carries one allele for each gene.

Answer

Each gene is located on a separate chromosome, so they are inherited independently.

Answer

Genes located closer together on a chromosome are more likely to be inherited together.

Answer

New combinations of genes are created through the process of crossing over during meiosis.

Answer

Alleles combine during the formation of gametes, so each gamete carries two alleles for each gene.

Question 2

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, alleles for different genes..

Accepted Answer

segregate independently of one another during gamete formation.

Answer

are only inherited from one parent.

Answer

combine to form new combinations during meiosis.

Answer

are always inherited together on the same chromosome.

Answer

always stay linked together and are inherited as a group.

Question 3

Which of the following represents Mendel's law of dominance?

Answer

In a heterozygous individual, one allele can completely suppress the expression of the other.

Answer

In a heterozygous individual, both alleles are partially expressed.

Answer

In a heterozygous individual, one allele is always completely dominant over the other.

Answer

In a heterozygous individual, both alleles are equally expressed.

Question 4

Question 5

What is the law of dominance?

Accepted Answer

In a heterozygous individual, one allele (the dominant allele) is expressed while the other allele (the recessive allele) is masked.

Answer

The inheritance of one gene does not affect the inheritance of another gene.
