Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is a gene?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about DNA and what it tells cells to do.

Question 2

Easy

Define dominant trait.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Which trait shows up even if there's only one copy?

Interactive Quizzes

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

Question 1

What determines whether a trait is dominant or recessive?

  • The amount of the gene
  • How it interacts with other alleles
  • Its environmental effects

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how traits show up in crosses.

Question 2

True or False: All traits are inherited in a straightforward manner without any modifications.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what can happen in real-life scenarios. ## Challenge Problems 1. **Problem**: A plant has the genotype of Tt (tall) and is crossed with another Tt plant. What phenotypic ratio will you expect in the offspring? - **Solution**: You would expect a phenotypic ratio of 3 tall: 1 short offspring due to the combinations of TT, Tt, Tt, and tt. - **Hint**: Remember, dominant traits show even when paired with recessive traits. 2. **Problem**: Discuss how environmental factors might alter the expression of a genetic trait. - **Solution**: Environmental factors such as soil quality, water availability, and sunlight can influence plant height by affecting hormone production, which in turn can modulate gene expression. - **Hint**: Think about interactions that affect growth in plants. ---
