Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

Laws of Inheritance

front 1

What does the notation Rr mean to geneticists?

back 1

heterozygous alleles

front 2

Two plants are heterozygous for seed shape and have round seeds. If the two plants are crossed, what is the probability that the offspring will have wrinkled seeds?

back 2

25 percent

front 3

When Mendel crossed purebred purple flowering plants (PP) with purebred white flowering plants (pp), what were the flower colors of the resulting offspring?

back 3

100 percent purple

front 4

A pea plant that has round seeds has the genotype Rr. It is crossed with a pea plant that has wrinkled seeds and the genotype rr. What is the probability that the offspring will have wrinkled seeds?

back 4

50 percent

front 5

Parents that are heterozygous for having freckles (dominant) are crossed. Which correctly describes their offspring?

back 5

Seventy-five percent have freckles.

front 6

What is a gene

?

back 6

a segment of DNA that is the basic unit of heredity

front 7

Why did Mendel study pea plants?

back 7

They reproduce sexually and have many traits that are easy to observe.

front 8

Which of Mendel's laws or principles states that gametes carry one allele for each trait?

back 8

law of segregation

front 9

Which statement summarizes the law of segregation?

back 9

Gametes carry one allele for each trait.

front 10

The diagram represents one of Mendel’s laws or principles of inheritance.

Which law or principle shown in the diagram is represented by the F2 generation having one gene from each parent?

back 10

Segregation

front 11

Which of Mendel's laws or principles explains that traits are passed from parents to offspring individually instead of as pairs, groups, or sets?

back 11

The law of independent assortment

front 12

Each kernel of corn on a single ear can inherit a different set of alleles from those inherited by other kernels. This characteristic makes corn a useful example of which law or principle?

back 12

Taw of independent assortment

front 13

Which type of scientific statement is defined as "a possible explanation or answer to a scientific question that is based on prior knowledge or research and is testable"?

back 13

Hypothesis

front 14

Which type of scientific statement is defined as a statement of fact that is generally accepted to be true and universal because it has always been observed to be true?

back 14

Law

front 15

The concept of evolution by way of natural selection is a central tenet in biology that has been tested in numerous ways by many scientists. Evolution by way of natural selection is most likely which type of concept?

back 15

an explanation of phenomena that can be accepted as true because it is supported by repeated observations and experimentation

front 16

What can be known about Mendel’s five-part hypothesis?

back 16

It is an answer to a scientific question and is based mostly on his research.
