Principles of Inheritance

The document appears to be a practice test for a zoology exam focusing on genetics concepts. It includes 9 multiple choice and short answer questions covering topics like: 1) Sex determination in human beings and the effects of trisomies and monosomies. 2) Inheritance patterns of coat color and hair color in guinea pigs. 3) Sex determining mechanisms in different species. 4) How an XXY individual can arise and pedigree analysis. 5) Inheritance of blood groups and amino acid sequences related to disease. 6) Phenomenon of intermediate flower color resulting from a cross between homozygous parents.
