Mendel's Webquest

When you flip a coin, what is the probability that it will come up tails?

• 1

• 1/2

• 1/4

• 1/8

The principles of probability can be used to

• predict the traits of the offspring of genetic crosses.

• determine the actual outcomes of genetic crosses.

• determine which species should be used in genetic crosses.

• decide which organisms are best to use in genetic crosses.

A heterozygous tall pea plant is crossed with a short plant. The probability that an F1 plant will be tall is

• 25%

• 50%

• 75%

• 100%

Organisms that have two identical alleles for a particular trait are said to be

• hyrbid.

• homozygous.

• heterozygous.

• dominant.

Gregor Mendel's principles of genetics apply to

• plants only.

• animals only.

• pea plants only.

• all organisms.
