LABORATORY EXERCISE QUESTIONS

Distinguish between the terms gene and allele. (1 point)
Give an example of one genetic trait (gene) and two different alleles (allele phenotypes) for that gene. (3 points)
Genetic Trait
Allele phenotype #1
Allele phenotype #2
Compare and contrast the terms phenotype and genotype. (4 points)
List the allele combinations (gamete possibilities) that can be formed by an individual with the following genotype: AABB (1 point)
List the different allele combinations (gamete possibilities) that can be formed by an individual with the following genotype: AaBb. (4 points)
Given: P = purple flowers and p = white flowers and P is dominant over p.
A horticulturist has a purple plant and a white plant. The horticulturist knows that purple is dominant over white. When they are bred, all of the resulting offspring are purple. What is the most likely genotype of the parent or original purple plant? (2 points)
A horticulturist runs a test cross with an offspring (F1 generation) purple plant from Question 8. The phenotypic frequencies of the resulting offspring are 50% white and 50% purple. What is the true genotype of this offspring (F1 generation) purple plant? (2 points)
