Inheritance Worksheet 2: Fig. 1.1 Shows A Goat With White Fur

This document contains a biology worksheet on genetics and inheritance in goats and tulip plants. The worksheet contains multiple choice and short answer questions that assess students' understanding of genetics terminology like genotype and phenotype, ability to interpret genetic diagrams, and apply principles of inheritance to predict offspring genotypes and phenotypes in genetic crosses. It also contains questions about the advantages of sexual reproduction. The worksheet provides scaffolding for students to demonstrate their understanding of core genetics concepts.

Inheritance worksheet 2
Question 1: (IGCSE, qp_31. 2018)
Fig. 1.1 shows a goat with white fur.

Fig. 1.1
Fur colour is inherited in goats.
• The allele for white fur is represented by A.
• The allele for black fur is represented by a.

Fig. 1.2 shows a diagram of the inheritance of fur colour in a herd of goats.

(ii) State the phenotype of goat 5. ...........................................................

(iii) Draw circles around two terms, in the box below, that can be used to
describe the genotype of goat 6.
black dominant heterozygous
homozygous recessive white

(b) A farmer identified two goats to breed together.


• The genotype of the male goat is Aa.
• The genotype of the female goat is Aa.
Complete the genetic diagram and the phenotypic ratio for this cross.

Question 2 (IGCSE, qp_31. 2014)


In tulip plants, the petals can have markings called flecks.
There are two alleles for flecks in tulip plants: with flecks F; and without flecks
f.

allele. .....................................................................................................................

(b) A tulip grower crosses two tulip plants. He finds that 76 of the offspring
have petals with flecks and 23 of the offspring have petals without flecks.
(i) Complete the genetic diagram to describe this result.

parental phenotypes ………………… X …………………

parental genotypes ………………… X …………………

gametes .... .... X .... ....

offspring genotypes …………………………………………………………………………………

offspring phenotypic ratio ……………………………………………………………………………..

(ii) The tulip grower wants to produce a pure-breeding variety of tulips with
petals without flecks. State the genotypes of the parent plants he should use
to produce tulip plants without flecks. Explain your answer.

(c) Describe the advantages of sexual reproduction to a species of flowering plant, such as
tulip.
COMMAND TERM(S):
Describe: give a detailed account or picture of a solution, event, pattern or process.
Draw: Represent by means of a labelled, accurate diagram or graph, using a pencil. A ruler
(straight edge) should be used for straight lines. Diagrams should be drawn to scale. Graphs
should have points correctly plotted (if appropriate) and joined in a straight line or smooth curve.
