Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does the Law of Independent Assortment state?

  • A. Alleles segregate independently during gamete formation.
  • B. Genes located on different chromosomes assort independently.
  • C. Both A and B.
  • D. Traits blend together.

💡 Hint: Remember how traits can separate in different combinations.

Question 2

True or False: In a monohybrid cross, the phenotypic ratio is typically 3:1.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think back to Mendel’s pea plants.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a population of pea plants, a pure-breeding tall plant (TT) is crossed with a pure-breeding short plant (tt). If the first filial (F1) generation is self-pollinated, calculate the genotypic and phenotypic ratios of the F2 generation.

💡 Hint: Use a Punnett square to analyze the crosses.

Question 2

Consider a genetic condition caused by a recessive allele. A carrier (heterozygous) person marries a normal individual. If they have four children, what is the probability that at least one of the children will be affected by the condition?

💡 Hint: Calculate the complement of the probability of all children being unaffected.
