Mendel was the first to demonstrate the principles of inheritance. Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

Fill in the Blank QuestionFill in the blank question.Mendel's laws of inheritance are used in family planning. For example, they can predict the outcome of crosses, especially in parents that may carry that cause inherited disease in possible offspring.

Using modern terms, Mendel's model of inheritance can be paraphrased as follows: When gametes are formed, the of a gene are into different gametes.

In 1866, Mendel published three main conclusions to his findings. Which of the following ideas was not proposed by Mendel?Characteristics are determined by hereditary unitsHereditary units are organised in chromosomesHereditary units can be dominant or recessive Hereditary units are passed on unchanged by both parents3The height of Mendel’s pea plants is controlled by a single gene with two alleles: a dominant tall allele (T) and a recessive short allele (t). In a series of F1 crosses involving one homozygous tall plant (TT) and one short plant (tt), 400 F2 offspring were produced. Approximately how many of these offspring would you expect to be short?200Zero4001004In a series of crosses involving pea plants heterozygous for the height gene, 800 offspring are produced. Approximately how many of these offspring would you expect to be tall?8002006004005Mendel’s investigations were ‘reproducible’. What is meant by this term?The pea plants could be reproducedThe investigations could be repeated by different researchers with different resultsMendel reproduced his own investigations with the same results on numerous occasionsThe investigations could be repeated by different researchers with the same results
