Question 1

What did Mendel's experiments with pea plants fundamentally demonstrate?

  • They proved there is only one way to inherit traits.
  • They supported blending inheritance.
  • They established laws of heredity.
  • They showed genes were located on chromosomes.

💡 Hint: Consider what made his discoveries revolutionary.

Question 2

Is it true that the Law of Independent Assortment applies only to genes on different chromosomes?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about chromosome locations and gene inheritance.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A pure-breeding tall pea plant (TT) is crossed with a pure-breeding short pea plant (tt). If you then cross an F1 individual with a short plant, what proportion of the offspring would be expected to be tall?

💡 Hint: Use a Punnett square to visualize this cross.

Question 2

Predict the phenotypic ratio of offspring resulting from a dihybrid cross between two individuals heterozygous for both traits (YyRr x YyRr). Show your reasoning through a Punnett square.

💡 Hint: Make sure to account for all possible gamete combinations.
