Question 8 of 10
8. P is for ...? When Gregor Mendel crossed pea plants with opposite traits in his first experiment, he called them the 'P generation' - what did the P stand for? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. P is for Pass it on! What is the study of heredity called?

Answer: Genetics

I hope you chose genetics. Hermaneutics is the theory and methodology of interpretation, especially of scriptural text; ufology is the study of alien spacecraft and gnomonics is the science of surveying. I threw them in because I liked the definitions.
2. P is for Peas... Gregor Mendel experimented with peas and discovered that pure-bred tall plants will always produce what?

Answer: Pure-bred tall plants

Mendel did a series of experiments over time and worked out that a dominant allele is one whose end result overpowers the expression of a second form of the same gene. An allele is one of two or more forms a gene may take; they control the same characteristic on a particular chromosome.
3. P is for Parts... How many Laws of Inheritance did Gregor Mendel have?

Answer: 3

Mendel's Laws are:
Law of Segregation
Law of Independent Assortment
Law of Dominance
4. P is for...? Genes are important in making the thousands of chemical building blocks in our body. What P word is the name of these building blocks?

Answer: Proteins

Smaller units called amino acids are put together in a particular way that determines what the protein does (sense colour, digest food etc). The codons (simple instructions that cells can read, that make up DNA) on each gene tell the cells which amino acid to add. Each chromosome has many genes, with thousands of genes in a human body.
5. P is for Pattern... Genes are made of the chemical called DNA, strung together to form long chains in structures called what?

Answer: Chromosomes

Chromosomes are tiny thread-like structures inside each cell that carry the genes.
6. P is for ...? What is the best definition of heredity from those listed?

Answer: Passing on of physical characteristics from parents to offspring

Through heredity, living things inherit traits, or physical characteristics, from their parents. That's why there is a family likeness.
7. P is for Purebred... Since Mendel's early experiments, more investigation has been done on genes. What word do we now use for what Mendel called 'pure-bred'?

Answer: Homozygous

Homozygous genes are those where only one allele is present for a particular trait meaning both genes are identical.
8. P is for ...? When Gregor Mendel crossed pea plants with opposite traits in his first experiment, he called them the 'P generation' - what did the P stand for?

Answer: Parental

Mendel first crossed short and tall pure-bred plants, and observed that all the resulting plants were tall. This generation of offspring plants he called 'F1 generation', or 'first filial'.
9. P is for Parents... Traits are physical characteristics. Which of the following are traits we might inherit from our parents?

Answer: Hair and skin colour

Love of gardening is not a physical trait, but it's certainly something we might learn from our parents! Traits like the shape of our nose or height are physical things we can inherit.
10. P is for Potential - a gene gives only the potential for the development of a trait. Environment is another main factor which can influence how that potential is affected.

Answer: True

We may inherit a trait from a parent that could mean we have a tendency towards being overweight. However, availability of food and how much is consumed, along with the amount of exercise undertaken can influence a person's actual weight.
