B
traits are inherited during the first year of life as babies watch and imitate parents
C
traits are passed to the offspring through genes located on hereditary material from the parents
D
traits are passed to the offspring through the blood of both parents
2) The allele for black hair, B, is dominant to orange tabby color, b, in cats. From a Punnett Square showing genotypes of Bb, Bb, bb, and bb; what did the parents look like in this genetic cross?
A
two black parents
B
one black parent, one tabby parent
C
two tabby parents
D
both parents were a mix of black and tabby

A
medium length tails
B
LL
C
long tails
D
short tails
4) Mendel's early work with pea plants demonstrated a significant genetic discovery. The crossing of homozygous tall pea plants with homozygous short pea plants always resulted in tall plants and demonstrated that tallness in pea plants is a ___ trait
A
blended
B
recessive
C
dominant
D
mutated
5) Which structure stores most of the genetic information?

D
Corn that is smaller and less flavorful than other corn.
9) For centuries farmers have selected certain plants and animals for selective breeding. What is the purpose of choosing the organisms instead of just letting them all reproduce?
A
the farmers select certain parent organisms in order to get valuable traits in the offspring
B
the farmers want to control the size of certain animal and plant populations
C
controlling which plants and animals can reproduce reduces competition for resources
D
the farmers can only have one kind of animal at a time on the farm

A
All the plants would be purple
B
3 white to 1 purple
