Question 1

What is Mendel’s Law of Segregation?

Answer 1

The two alleles for each trait separate during gamete formation.

Question 2

What does ‘alleles’ refer to in Mendel’s Law?

Answer 2

Different versions of a gene that determine specific traits.

Question 3

What is a gamete?

Answer 3

A reproductive cell that carries one allele for each trait.

Question 4

What is the result of the Law of Segregation in offspring?

Answer 4

Offspring receive one allele from each parent.

Question 7

What is the Law of Independent Assortment?

Answer 7

The Law of Independent Assortment states that alleles of different genes assort independently of one another during gamete formation.

Example: Inheriting yellow seed color does not determine purple flower color.

Question 8

What is the Law of Dominance?

Answer 8

The Law of Dominance states that in a cross between two organisms, one trait may mask the presence of another trait.

Example: Tall (TT) and dwarf (tt) plants produce offspring that are all tall (Tt).
