  1. Consider two genes: R (round seeds) and r (wrinkled seeds) and Y (yellow seeds) and y (green seeds). If two pea plants mated (RrYy and RrYy), what would be the probability of producing offspring with wrinkled seeds and green seeds? The following picture shows the possible gametes. Make sure and use the product rule.        

  1. 1/16
  2. 1/2
  3. 3/4
  4. 1/8

  1. What is the term that describes how most traits are a reflection of the activities of multiple genes?

A) Polygenic
B) Epistatic
C) X-inactivation
D) Condominace
