Question: the principle of independent assortment states that __________ for different traits can segregate independently during the formation of gametes

Answer: genes

Question: what principle states that during gamete formation genes for different traits separate without influencing each other’s inheritance?

Answer: principle of independent assortment

Question: what is the probability that a cross between parents who are both homozygous recessive for a trait will have offspring that are homozygous recessive for that trait?

Answer: There is a probability that all the offspring will be homozygous with a recessive trait because those are the only traits given to them. 100%

Question: what is the probability of flipping a coin & getting heads 10 in a row?

Question: a male & female bison that are both heterozygous for normal skin pigmentation (Aa) produce an offspring (aa). which of mendel’s principles explain why the offspring is albino

Answer: dominance & segregation

Question: t or f: if mendel has found that an f2 cross of plants that were heterozygous for 2 traits had made an offspring with 2 phenotypes, this finding would have supported the theory of independent assortment

Answer: false

Question: t or f: the probability that a gamete produced by a pea plant heterozygous for stem height (Tt) will contain the recessive allele is 100%

Answer: false

Question: how many different allele combinations would be found in the gametes reduced by a pea plant whose genotype was RrYy?

Answer: 2

Question: A tall pea plant with yellow seeds is heterozygous for height and seed color (TtYy). This plant is crossed with a pea plant heterozygous for height but homozygous recessive for seed color (Ttyy). If 80 offspring are produced, how many are expected to be tall and have yellow seeds?

Answer: 30

Question: The Punnett square in Figure 11-2 shows that the gene for pea shape and the gene for pea color _________________.

Answer: assort independently
