    • What is the purpose of Punnett Squares in genetics?
      Predict offspring genotypes
    • In Punnett Squares, dominant alleles are represented by uppercase letters.
    • Steps to construct a Punnett Square:
      1️⃣ Define Alleles
      2️⃣ Determine Parental Genotypes
      3️⃣ Set Up the Grid
      4️⃣ Fill in the Square
      5️⃣ Analyze the Results
    • A monohybrid cross involves one gene with two alleles.
      True
    • How many genes are involved in a dihybrid cross?
      Two
    • The observable physical characteristic of an organism is called its phenotype.
    • What was Gregor Mendel's profession?
      Augustinian monk
    • What does the Principle of Segregation state?
      Allele pairs separate during gamete formation
    • Dominant alleles are always expressed in heterozygous individuals

      True
    • Match the principle with its description:
      Principle of Segregation ↔️ Allele pairs separate during gamete formation
      Principle of Dominance ↔️ Dominant alleles mask recessive alleles
      Principle of Independent Assortment ↔️ Allele pairs segregate independently
    • What type of organisms did Mendel use in his experiments?
      Pea plants
    • The Principle of Segregation states that each allele pair separates during gamete formation
    • Which principle states that allele pairs segregate independently during gamete formation?
      Independent Assortment
    • The Principle of Segregation explains that offspring inherit one allele from each parent.
    • Match Mendel's experimental principles with their descriptions:
      Principle of Segregation ↔️ Allele pairs separate during gamete formation
      Principle of Dominance ↔️ Dominant alleles mask recessive alleles
      Principle of Independent Assortment ↔️ Allele pairs segregate independently
    • What happens to allele pairs during gamete formation according to the Principle of Segregation?
      They separate
    • In heterozygous individuals, dominant alleles mask recessive alleles.
    • Steps to construct a monohybrid Punnett Square:
      1️⃣ Define the Alleles
      2️⃣ Determine Parental Genotypes
      3️⃣ Set Up the Punnett Square
      4️⃣ Fill in the Square
    • In a monohybrid cross with RR and rr parents, all offspring have the genotype Rr.

      True
    • In a monohybrid cross with RR and rr parents, all offspring express the dominant trait.
      True
    • Mendel's Principle of Segregation states that each allele pair separates during gamete formation
    • Recessive alleles are always masked by dominant alleles in heterozygous individuals.

      True
    • What does Mendel's Principle of Independent Assortment describe?
      Allele pairs segregate independently
    • Allele pairs segregate independently during gamete formation according to the Principle of Independent Assortment.

      True
    • What did Gregor Mendel use in his experiments to study inheritance?
      Pea plants
    • Match Mendel's principles with his experimental observations:
      1️⃣ Cross-breeding Pea Plants
      2️⃣ Principle of Segregation
      3️⃣ Tracking Traits
      4️⃣ Principle of Dominance
    • Offspring inherit one allele from each parent as stated by the Principle of Segregation.

      True
    • What is the key process described by the Principle of Segregation during gamete formation?
      Allele pair separation
    • The Law of Independent Assortment states that alleles for different genes segregate independently during gamete formation.
    • Gregor Mendel studied the inheritance of traits by cross-breeding different varieties of pea plants
    • The Principle of Independent Assortment states that allele pairs segregate independently of each other
    • Offspring inherit one allele from each parent due to the Principle of Segregation
      True
    • During gamete formation, each allele pair separates, as stated in the Principle of Segregation
    • Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian monk
    • What did Gregor Mendel use in his experiments to study inheritance?
      Pea plants
    • Dominant alleles mask recessive alleles in heterozygous individuals.

      True
    • Mendel's observations led to the establishment of three key principles of inheritance.

      True
    • What happens to allele pairs during gamete formation according to the Principle of Segregation?
      They separate
    • Dominant alleles are expressed in heterozygous individuals because they mask recessive alleles.
    • Mendel's choice of pea plants allowed him to control breeding and analyze inheritance patterns effectively.
