This document contains a chapter test on patterns of inheritance for a genetics class. It includes 26 multiple choice and true/false questions testing concepts like Mendelian inheritance, genotypes, phenotypes, Punnett squares, blood types, pedigrees and inheritance patterns. It also has exercises predicting outcomes of genetic crosses and identifying inheritance patterns from pedigrees. The answers key indicates questions test Mendel's discoveries, dominant and recessive traits, sex-linked traits, and patterns like incomplete dominance and codominance.

_____5. The set of alleles (EE, Pp, etc.) that an offspring inherits from its parents is its ___________. a. phenotype b. dominance c. genotype
____ 6. When two purebred plants are cross-pollinated (PP x pp), what will be the genotypes of the offspring? a. 50% homozygous b. 100% heterozygous c. 75% Pp
____ 7. Which of these is a heterozygous genotype?
a. TT b. Tt c. tt d. XD
____ 8. Free earlobes is a dominant trait. Which genotype will produce free earlobes? a. EE b. Ee c. ee d. both EE and Ee

_____10. How is a dominant trait different from a recessive trait?
a. Dominant traits only need one dominant allele, but recessive requires two recessive alleles b. Recessive traits are very rare in human populations c. Dominant traits mostly occur in men; women are usually carriers

TRUE or FALSE:
_____ 15. Physical traits are determined by inherited genes.
_____ 16. Girls can inherit X-linked traits from their fathers, but boys inherit these from their mother.
_____ 17. Gregor Mendel discovered the “incomplete dominance” pattern when he crossed purebred plants.
_____ 18. The predictions of Punnett squares are more accurate with large samples than with small.
_____ 19. Alleles are alternative forms of the same gene.
_____ 20. Ordinarily, children can develop a dominant trait even if their parents don’t express it.
