Chapter 6

Question 1

Thought to be blending – equal parts mother and father

Answer 1

Inheritance

Question 2

each individual has two gene copies at each locus

Answer 2

LoS

Question 3

The F1 purple flowers received and retained parental variation

Answer 3

Law of Segregation

Question 4

Each individual with 2 factors (genes)

Answer 4

Law of Segregation

Question 5

Also established dominant nd recessive traits

Answer 5

Law of Segregation

Question 6

Allele passed down at one locus was independent of that at another
Now – only in unlinked loci

Answer 6

Law of Independent Assortment

Question 7

If flower color and wrinkled vs. smooth seeds are unlinked can select for purple without regard for seed coat

Answer 7

NS

would reduce variation

Answer 8

Blending

Question 9

would preserve variation

are random and so are there effects
